JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (JoJo no Kimyo na Boken) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Hirohiko Araki. It was originally serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from 1987 to 2004, before being transferred to the monthly seinen magazine Ultra Jump. The current story arc, JoJolion, started in 2011. It is currently Shueisha's second longest running manga series with 107 volumes and counting (only Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Koen-mae Hashutsujo, with over 170 volumes, has more). It was previously the longest manga not to have a TV anime adaptation.

A six-volume original video animation adaptation of the later half of the series' third story arc, Stardust Crusaders, was released from 1993 to 1994 by Studio APPP. Six years later, they produced a seven-volume series adapting the arc's first half from 2000 to 2002. Studio APPP also produced a theatrical film of the first arc, Phantom Blood, in 2007. From 2003 to 2005, Super Techno Arts released an English dub of both OVA series as one on DVD in North America. Only the third story arc of the manga, which is the most popular and well-known, received an English release in North America by Viz Media from 2005 to 2010. A television anime, produced by David Production and beginning from the first arc, began airing on Tokyo MX on October 5, 2012.

The JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga has sold over 70 million copies in Japan alone and has spawned a large media franchise that includes several novelizations and video games, action figures, a jewelry line titled Passione, and even snack foods.

Actually in the process of reading the whole series; I'm up to Steel Ball Run right now, but I've enjoyed most of the parts so far. No piece of media should ever be that FABULOUS, especially Part 5.
