The Bottle
From JoJo's Bizarre Encyclopedia - JoJo Wiki
“
No one is capable of being an independent manga artist unless they have some type of original story. Out of these, I'm interested in seeing an original story from the artist of the "The Bottle." Considering his age, it's safe to say this artist is a very smart and promising newcomer.

—Hiroshi Motomiya
