All of jojo from part 1 to 8 + some Rohan Spin-off Manga

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.）

Manga which are canon to the world of JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken

Motivation.

While most Manga only focus on one story, there're still a few out there that explore different types of stories of different characters in different circumstances. Some happy and hopeful, some dark and tragic, some cute and light-hearted, some ridiculous, some bittersweet.

All Jojo material that I personally consider canon to the universe.

last one is just so I can publish it (requires at least 5 elements)

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.

I only count the editorials that stills publishing to this day: IVREA, Panini Manga, Ovnipress, Kemuri, Utopia, Distrito Manga and Pop Fiction.

PART I: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/21070
PART II: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/21071
PART III: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/21075
PART IV: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/21100
PART V: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/21116
PART VI: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/21149
PART VII: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/21150
PART VIII: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/21152

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.

Titles with manga artists characters from different demographics and genres. They can be realistic, romantic, comedic, sexy or horrifying! Includes autobiographies.

Note: arranged in the order of release. Some of the titles are NSFW.

Work in progress!

This list is pretty much just a compilation of all Aoyama's recommendations (Detective Picture Book segment), it's on the dust jacket of every Detective Conan manga volume, it lists also his favourite book/episode/chapter from the series, I'll be listing all the manga, or manga related ones, but please check out the full list if you are interested in detective fiction!

Just a fair warning, there's a lot of Japanese detectives, and sometimes famous ones like Poirot and Miss Marple that have been adapted as anime, this list is only for manga (And some light novels), but I might make one for anime at some point. I was going over the list and noticed Millionaire Detective was adapted from a novel by Yasutaka Tsutsui (He also wrote A Girl Who Leapt Through Time and Paprika! It's a small world huh) I'm not going to include it in this list, but I just thought I'd let you know.

Another point while I was compiling it, a lot of these are unknown outside of Japan, and I personally can't read Japanese (Maybe in the future!), I've tried doing my best in finding related material, however If I missed any, I apologise. Please also forgive me for not providing more in-depth descriptions, I like detective fiction, however a lot of these I haven't heard or read, please check them out if you are interested in any.

If you have any criticism, I'll do my best to fix any mistakes, thank you!

This series of interest stacks is a list of mangas & light novels that have been or are being licensed and published in Argentina. This DOES NOT include imported physicals originally released in other territories. Manhwas are included, however, manga-like releases from outside Asia are not included. Manga missing in MAL will be noted in each stack's description.

The mangas are in alphabetical order according to the title they were published under in Argentina, and not according to their original title. Each modified title is noted under each manga. Most of these can be bought online, although there are discontinued manga which can no longer be found unless bought used.

These interest stacks will be updated regularly and should always be considered to be incomplete. Please, message me if there's any manga missing, and/or if any info is wrong or missing. Due to MAL's 50-items limit on interest stacks, the entire list spans multiple stacks.

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

Regardless of the version you wanna try, you're not gonna regret the experience. If you don't know the manga version, I recommend watching the drama first. And if you liked it, just read the manga afterwards.

my curated short-term TBR list (mainly cuz i hate going through the plan to read section)
- includes stuff that's either been on hold for too long or i've been meaning to read for a while but never got to
- no particular order

Release Order

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