JoJo6251: The World of Hirohiko Araki (JOJO 6251 荒木飛呂彦の世界, JoJo 6251 Araki Hirohiko no Sekai) is an artbook written and illustrated by Hirohiko Araki and Lucky Land Communications. It includes pictures and information from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, ranging from Phantom Blood to Diamond is Unbreakable.

The artbook's name is in reference to the approximate amount of pages JoJo's Bizarre Adventure had at the time of the artbook's announcement.

An English version of the artbook was announced by VIZ Media on July 9, 2021, and was planned to be published in Spring 2022.[1] The release has since been delayed to January 24, 2023.[2]

Summary

The first part of the artbook contains mostly artist renditions of characters from the series and Araki's previous works. The book is 11.7 x 8.3 x 0.8 inches and features 98 pages in full, vibrant color.

The second half of the book is comprised of character profiles, the history of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, a glossary of terms and concepts used in the series, an interview with Hirohiko Araki, a timeline, and a foldout poster.

Making-of

Araki working on the cover

The artwork of Josuke on the cover took Araki 6 hours to complete, half of it spent on coloring alone.[3]

There is an error in the glossary of terms where in the entry for "Danse Macabre Hair", it states that it appeared in Part 2 instead of Part 1 and that Joseph fought Bruford instead of Jonathan.
