If you're fascinated by Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and love the creator of Jojo Hirohiko Araki, this is a list for you. It contains the main story of Jojo, some spin-offs either created by Araki or other mangaka/writers, as well as Araki's previous works such as Baoh and Gorgeous Irene.

Be reminded that some of the works may not be available officially outside of Japan, i.e. there might not be an official translated version of the work in your preferred reading language.

List divided into 4 parts: (1) Main story of Jojo; (2) Works created by Araki entirely; (3) Works created mainly by other mangaka or writers. Araki only drew the pictures or even only gave a bit of advice; (4) Araki's works outside of Jojo.

（The list is missing some light novels that are not listed on MAL. When they are listed, I would add them back.）

The definitive fool-proof order to read the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga in. Including spin-offs, one-shots, light novels, and more. The order of this list is by the series timeline.

Not included:

* Testimone di Gangster | Set before Part 5, tells the story of a mission Tizziano and Squalo were sent on to clear the names of 32 suspected members of Passione from being in the gang.
* No Love Like a Parent's | Set before Part 5, tells the story of an encounter between Ghiaccio and Melone.

Personal advice for reading through the series, including non-required and extra-canonical material. There are some particularly hard-to-find fan translations when official material is not available, so here is a google drive link to a compilation fan efforts have put together that encompasses almost everything.

Additional short stories provided not here on MAL include:
"Rey Infinito - El Aleph" - short story published in 3 arcs, following Lisa Lisa between Parts 2 and 3
"The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp" - Short DRAFT scrapped that later became "The Book: Jojo's Bizarre Adventure 4th Another Day"
"No Love Like A Parent's", & "Testimione di gangster" - both Part 5 prequels focusing on La Squadra members
"Heaven's Door" - unrelated to Jojo Canon, but with heavy reference to Parts 4 & 8

Anything indicated as "available online' without cited sources or official translations are considered a fairly easy find on manga websites like MangaDex that I don't think people need my help to locate.

Spin-offs that aren't listed on MAL:
- Heaven's Door
- Diamond is Unbreakable Movie Novelization
- rey infinito
- testimone di gangster
- Rohan au Louvre Movie Novelization
- There's No Love Like a Parent's

Release Order

This list includes only spin-offs written by Araki himself.
