Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan[1] (岸辺露伴は動かない, Kishibe Rohan wa Ugokanai, lit. Rohan Kishibe Does Not Move!) is the name of a series of one-shots featuring Rohan Kishibe (of Part 4) as the narrator and/or protagonist.
These one-shots are often published in Weekly Shonen Jump or Jump Square. A volume compiling the first four chapters, along with Rohan Kishibe Goes to Gucci, was released on November 19, 2013.
Description
The Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan series is a set of fantasy stories, all spanning a single chapter of around 50 to 60 pages and usually organized into disordered "episodes". They all feature the mangaka Rohan Kishibe, who finds himself involved in various supernatural occurrences, sometimes only witnessing these phenomenons and making an account of what happened. Although the stories regularly feature Rohan's Stand, Heaven's Door, Rohan mainly encounters more esoteric creatures other than Stands, such as Yōkai, specters brought into existence by a curse, and more.
The series is kept separated from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure's storyline, although characters from Diamond Is Unbreakable and the town of Morioh regularly make an appearance.
