The Artistic Evolution of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

From 1987 to 2020, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is perhaps one of the most notable long-running 80's manga besides Berserk - so let's take a look at how far it's come from an artistic perspective!

Imagine if for part 9 he just goes full Oingo Boingo style

Araki made JoJo just to showcase his music playlist before Spotify was even a concept

[jonnysac]

JoJolion hits the perfect balance between battle shonen and uncanny horror manga with its art and fights and I love it for that

Part7 marks the point where Jojo went from the weekly Shonenjump to the monthly Ultrajump, suddenly Araki had more time to work on the series chapter to chapter and it shows. The art style, pacing, and story all became more refined. Imo this is what led to Jojo part7 being the considered a masterpiece.

[brandonfleming]

I like to think Araki is more of an artist rather than a writer. Obviously his writing is still incredible but his art is perhaps some of the best to come out of the 80s. Araki's sense for fashion and colors is truly one of a kind.

I'm so used to reading and watching jojo that I don't even notice vibrant pink trees and piss yellow skies anymore

[johnjoestar]

Haters could hate all they want but they still can’t deny the fact that Araki is an absolute genius!

I miss part 3 when everyone had Bread for sholders. Can we get an F for the amount of Carbohydrates this man gave us.

[NeomDrac]

This man is 60 years old and looks 30.

The characters in Jojolion don't have same face, tsurugi just got you with his paper moon king

[immaburi]

I feel Araki really opened my mind to male sexuality. His outfits, to me showcases strength and confidence and for the first time I really considered the Male body beautiful. Emotionally I feel here in America, that the woman are the pretty ones and we men just have to get work done, like a part of our identity is shut off from the start. So much respect to Araki to be so unique and confident and to bring his stories and world view to life.

Ungalo is the peak of JoJo character design.

When i read JoJo, and read a new series immediately after: *where nose?*

[snoivernk]

Jojo is special in a lot of ways. Its such a unique experience to read and watch. It has weirdness, fun, and laughable moments while maintaining a story that can keep people interested. More than that it has style that evolved and became more beautiful and stylish so beautiful weebs can learn fashion from it. I just love this series.

[estrellalilyana]

Before i started liking jojo i thought the art style was strange, now its the reason i love the series so much.

Part 7 with the TALL, slender model like characters





Johnny being the shortest JoJo with a below average height is probably crying

[woollypar]

The entire JoJo manga is undoubtably my favorite work of fiction of all time, for the art, weirdness, characters, humor, themes, and just everything else. It even inspired me to start drawing more and make my own comics. The anime is only up to part 5 rn, so I can't say the same, but I like it about as much as Hunter x Hunter 2011 and that's some rather high praise.

The rats with stands:

“With the slender, *tall*, model-like characters”

Isn’t Johnny like 5’3

[Jakesoul]

6:23 NO. YOU CAN'T JUST PASS THAT BY ME AND EXPECT ME TO DO NOTHING. I *DEMAND* YOU SHOW US WHERE TO SEE THE FULL CLIP. MASTER ARAKI DANCING IS ALL I NEED IN MY LIFE. _PLEASE_
