25 Years with JoJo: 25th Anniversary Book ([ジョジョの奇妙な冒険] 25周年記念BOOK, [JoJo no Kimyō na Bōken] 25 Shūnen Kinen BOOK) is an anniversary booklet that was bundled with the October issue of Shueisha's Ultra Jump magazine on September 19, 2012.
Congratulations to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure on its 25th anniversary. Looking back, I'm amazed at the fact that, even though I started reading JoJo halfway through Part 3 as a beginner, I've now become a long-time fan. Re-examining it as an original author whose work has also been serialized in Jump, I feel that JoJo is a manga that excels in depicting difficulty. Furthermore, it's a manga that depicts escape from difficult circumstances and difficult situations. Life is a series of tight pinches, and humans live their lives in spite of their suffering. I think the reason why I'm drawn to JoJo is that I can't help but admire the relieving figures of each generation's JoJo, who each have to face that reality. Please continue to draw such exciting manga!
