JoJolion (Japanese: ジョジョリオン, Hepburn: Jojorion) is a seinen manga series written and illustrated by Hirohiko Araki, and is the eighth part of the larger JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series. It has been serialized by Shueisha in the magazine Ultra Jump since May 19, 2011, and has been collected in 17 volumes totaling 70 chapters, with 2 additional chapters not yet volumized.

Plot

Set in the same continuity as Steel Ball Run, S-City, M-Prefecture (M県S市, Emu-ken, Esu-shi) was devastated by the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. In the aftermath, strange structures known colloquially as the Wall Eyes (壁の目, Kabe no Me) appear all over Morioh Town (杜王町, Moriō-chō). When a local college student named Yasuho Hirose finds a mysterious youth buried under one of the Wall Eyes, it sets off their adventure together to try to help the young man recover his memories of his life moments before Yasuho discovered him. After a fight with Yasuho's would-be suitor Joshu Higashikata that reveals the young man has a Stand, he and Yasuho seek out his identity. First believing him to be named "Yoshikage Kira", although Yasuho feels that the name "Josuke" fits the John Doe better, they head to Kira's apartment where they attacked by a man who is after Kira. The resulting fight allows the young man to explore the extent of his Stand that he dubs Soft & Wet. After their attacker Ojiro Sasame, user of Fun Fun Fun, realizes that the young man is not Kira at all, Yasuho and Josuke head back to where he was found and find Kira's corpse, sparking a mystery of what happened to Kira and who Josuke really is.

While attempting to figure out what she can from police reports, Yasuho leaves Josuke in the company of the Higashikata family for his safety. The patriarch puts Josuke in charge of taking care of his youngest daughter Daiya who has been blind from childbirth, but she uses the opportunity to seduce Josuke by placing him under the thrall of her Stand California King Bed. After thwarting Daiya and befriending her instead, Josuke learns that the Higashikata family is related to Kira though a marriage that took place a century ago between Johnny Joestar and Rina Higashikata. Both discover that Holy Joestar-Kira is the last of the line and is in Morioh. Josuke attempts to meet with her, but is attacked by the Stand Born This Way and saved by another, while Yasuho finally meets up with Holly, unaware that she is aided by her own Stand Paisley Park, to find that Holly has seemingly lost her memory due to an incurable disease. Elsewhere, Josuke tracks down his attacker, the Higashikata's maid Kyo Nijimura, who reveals to Josuke that she is Holly's daughter and believes the Higashikatas are to blame for her condition. She also reveals to Josuke that he is her brother Yoshikage Kira, but only in part, as he has been combined with a second unknown person.

While trying to become more involved in the world, Josuke is taken to a nearby high school by Joshu, but they go down the infamous "Shakedown Road" where they are accosted by swindlers who have learned to use the Stand Les Feuilles that possesses the leaves of the gingko trees along the road to fleece the unaware. Joshu's own Stand Nut King Call is awoken by the events. Later, Josuke and Yasuho simultaneously learn of the fate of Johnny Joestar when he brought his wife, and the Holy Corpse, to Morioh to cure her, resulting in his mysterious death on what would become Shakedown Road. Yasuho tries to research on her own, only to be "kidnapped" by Tsurugi Higashikata, Norisuke IV's grandchild, who explains to Yasuho his family's predicament and why he has been disguised as a girl for his whole life. Yasuho attempts to leave, but not before she is subjected to Tsurugi's Stand Paper Moon King, heavily disorienting her (and Josuke), eventually leading her back to Tsurugi's bunker where he apologizes for his actions. However, as she rests, she is attacked by Yotsuyu Yagiyama, who uses his Stand to try to draw out Paisley Park and Josuke for his ulterior motives of never having his memories restored.

Josuke and Norisuke IV confront each other over what they have dealt with, only for Norisuke IV to tell Josuke that he wants to help him restore his memories as Kira to find a way to lift his family's curse, a mysterious disease that slowly turns them to stone. However, when they approach Tsurugi, they find out they have been trapped by Yotsuyu Yagiyama, who has tricked Tsurugi into helping him by giving him false hope that he found a cure for the curse. Yotsuyu uses his Stand I Am a Rock to try to kill Josuke, but Josuke decides to fight back, dragging Yagiyama into the depths of the ocean to get information out of him, but Yagiyama begins to crumble away into rocks, seemingly dying. Back on land, they discover Yagiyama is not apparently human at all, and that the mysterious fruit he had on him, which could possibly be a cure for the curse, is gone. Before all hope is lost, Norisuke IV uses his Stand King Nothing to track the fruit's scent, but feels that they may never properly find the real fruit. Dejected, Norisuke IV takes Josuke to his business, an upscale fruit parlor, when his eldest son Jobin appears, having returned from a business trip with an expensive and rare Dorcus titanus palawanicus stag beetle, which he soon gives to Josuke as a gift. As father and son catch up, Josuke notices that King Nothing has activated on Jobin's handkerchief, revealing that he has encountered the mysterious fruit.

Josuke approaches Tsurugi, who has befriended the mysterious "cured" stone dog Iwasuke, for information on his father's Stand so they may learn about the fruit, but Tsurugi simply tells Josuke that he should try to trick his father into losing a bet. With Tsurugi's intel, Josuke challenges Jobin to a game of insect fighting with his new D. t. palawanicus. After Jobin shows off his own palawanicus against an Asian giant hornet, they set their beetles against each other, with Josuke winning after having used Soft & Wet earlier to gather female stag beetle pheromones. However, Jobin, after shaving off an eyebrow desires a second match, and Josuke tricks him into betting his Lamborghini Gallardo, and Jobin decides to use his Allotopus rosenbergi, which Josuke later learns from him has had a hole drilled into its head and filled with wax to make it act erratic when it melts. Through this, Josuke discovers that Jobin's Stand increases heat, but he manages to use the venom from the hornet to win by placing it in Jobin's wax. Just as he is about to leave with the key, Jobin's personality changes, demanding to know what Josuke is after. Elsewhere, Tsurugi gets the key from one of Josuke's Soft & Wet bubbles and is with Yasuho, who Tsurugi has brought with him so she can use her Stand on Jobin's car's event data recorder to find out where he has been and where the fruit tree is, and discovers Paisley Park for herself for the first time. Elsewhere, Josuke discovers Jobin has induced a nosebleed in him with his Stand Speed King's ability, and tries to give Yasuho and Tsurugi more time by stalling, using the heat to activate the sprinklers in Jobin's live insect room to run away. Meanwhile, Yasuho and Tsurugi uncover through Paisley Park that Jobin met with an unknown man who they see holding a potted plant of the mysterious fruit, while Jobin decides to figure out more about Josuke.

Together, Yasuho and Tsurugi track down the man, a security guard named Aisho Dainenjiyama, who has the potted plant with him and they watch him sell it to an old man who grows back his legs after eating a fruit from the potted plant, but he soon loses the ability to see as his eyes turn to stone. Dainenjiyama realizes he has been spotted by the two, and he pursues them with his Stand Doobie Wah!, which chases after them with razor sharp winds. The two try to escape, with Yasuho's Paisley Park often leading the way, but they realize that any breath they take activates Doobie Wah!'s powers once more, allowing Dainenjiyama to track them down, while he is in contact with Jobin to tell him he has been spotted. Once cornered, Dainenjiyama believes he has the two in his grasp, even as Jobin Higashikata approaches him. However, Tsurugi has used Paper Moon King into trick Dainenjiyama into thinking that Morioh's public buses are his own father, and Dainenjiyama is run over by a bus, resulting in the man crumbling apart into stones. In a vignette, it is revealed that Dainenjiyama and Yagiyama are members of a race of beings known as Rock People (岩人間, Iwa Ningen), who appear to be human so long as they stay awake, but as soon as they fall asleep they turn to stone.

Shortly after Dainenjiyama's death, as Yasuho and Tsurugi try to understand the nature of the mysterious fruit of the Rokakaka Tree (ロカカカの樹, Rokakaka no Ki), a plant native to the highlands of New Guinea which seems to cure people of various ailments but they lose another aspect of themselves in return when it turns to stone, Josuke and Yasuho meet up once more, having not seen each other in what feels like weeks. However, their reunion is short-lived when a young woman passes by, apparently recognizing Josuke as her old friend "Setchan", but later believes she has confused him for someone else. Josuke follows the woman, using Soft & Wet to discover that she is Karera Sakunami, and after calling her by her name, she realizes he is indeed her friend, although he cannot remember anything about her. Karera and Josuke travel around Morioh, where Josuke realizes she is grifting money from people, and later discovers that her Stand Love Love Deluxe controls hair. After pressing her, she reveals to him that he is her friend Josefumi Kujo, and shows him a photo of the two of them together, along with Yoshikage Kira, and she mentions the Rokakaka tree. However, their reunion is interrupted by a pair of Stand-using twins, the A. Phex Brothers, who are after Karera and recognize Josuke as someone they had met before. Although Josuke is nearly lef for dead when left with the A. Phex Brothers on his own, with the elder brother's Stand Schott Key No. 1 allowing him to trap Josuke in nearby fence wire and the younger brother's Stand Schott Key No. 2 producing a poisonous gas that Josuke only manages to evade death with his own Stand, he is saved when Karera returns and uses Love Love Deluxe to create a giant hair fuse for Josuke to light on fire, killing the A. Phex Brothers who crumble away as other Rock People have. However, Karera leaves Josuke behind, promising to meet with him, again.

The next day, Josuke is at home with the Higashikata family, working with Yasuho to learn more about Josefumi Kujo, who has also been researching the Rokakaka Tree on her own, when eldest sister Hato brings home her new boyfriend, the first time she has ever done so. Norisuke IV, Joshu, and Josuke are all surprised at how homely cleaning service manager Tamaki Damo is, but Hato's love for him seems sincere. However, something strange is happening as a result of the visit by "Damokan", as Hato calls him, with handprints appearing everywhere. As Yasuho faxes a photo she found of Josefumi over to Josuke, Norisuke IV asks him to check on Nijimura, and he discovers she has been apparently liquefied while trying to clean up the mysterious handprints. After leaving to go to the bathroom, Joshu discovers that Damo has disabled the house's security cameras. Daiya investigates the fax, which has Tamaki Damo's photo on it, and rushes to give it to Josuke, but she is soon liquefied as well, but not before Josuke spots the photo. Damo returns and asks Hato to go check on the others, when he has Norisuke IV by himself, who is also becoming liquefied, and he discovers Damo is a Stand user, and he has come to the house and placed everyone under the thrall of his Stand Vitamin C to figure out who has killed his associates, the other Rock People, as well as any information on Yoshikage Kira, who he has met years before. The scene flashes back to 2009, when Kira uncovers Dainenjiyama's arrival in Morioh as a stone from Papua New Guinea with the Rokakaka Tree in tow, when he comes across both Ojiro Sasame and Josefumi Kujo on the docks. Back in 2011, Josuke warns Hato that her boyfriend is lying to her and has come to the house to kill them all. In another flashback to 1997, a recent divorcée is on the beach with her son, when he is dragged out into the sea and nearly killed when he hits his head on a rock underwater. The boy, Josefumi Kujo, is rushed to T.H. Medical University Hospital where Dr. Holly Joestar-Kira recognizes he is suffering from a deadly blood clot. She pleads with her son Yoshikage Kira to use his Stand Killer Queen to cure young Josefumi's blood clot, saving the boy's life, while Yoshikage is upset that he will miss out on seeing Titanic with his mother. Back in 2009, Kira has approached Josefumi to help him steal a Rokakaka fruit from Aisho Dainenjiyama, which Josefumi realizes is to attempt to cure his mother Holly from the mysterious disease, and he agrees to help save her. Josefumi comes up with an idea to instead just steal a single branch of the Rokakaka Tree, using his own Stand's ability to graft it onto another tree so they can have as many Rokakaka fruits as they need. But first, they have to steal a branch in a way that Dainenjiyama does not realize it has ever been stolen.

Characters

  • Josuke Higashikata[a] is a young man with no memory of his past or name, and is temporarily named "Josuke" by Yasuho after her dog. He uses the Stand Soft & Wet,[b] which allows him to produce soap bubbles that upon contact with an object can steal an aspect of the object that can be used for other purposes, such as a person's eyesight or the friction of the floor.
  • Yasuho Hirose[c] is a young woman who discovers Josuke and helps him search for his true identity. She uses the Stand Paisley Park,[d] which has the ability to direct things around Yasuho, although Paisley Park acts on Yasuho's subconscious needs rather than her being able to directly control her abilities.
  • Norisuke Higashikata IV[e] is the patriarch of the Higashikata family, and runs a local fruit parlor. He uses the Stand King Nothing,[f] which has the ability to track by scent while changing its physical appearance to resemble the target it is tracking.
  • Hato Higashikata[g] is the eldest daughter of the Higashikata family, and is a fashion model. She uses the Stand Walking Heart,[h] which allows her to extend her shoes' heels into spikes, which can be used as weapons and to walk up walls.
  • Joshu Higashikata[i] is a college student who uses the Stand Nut King Call,[j] which allows him to materialize nuts and bolts through objects or people's bodies; if the bolt is undone on a person, the limb it was attached to falls off.
  • Daiya Higashikata[k] is a near-blind teenaged girl who uses the Stand California King Bed,[l] which allows her to steal people's memories and store them within chess pieces, as long as she does not step on the victim's shadow.
  • Jobin Higashikata[m] is the eldest son of the Higashikata family, and uses the Stand Speed King,[n] allowing him to manipulate the temperature of his targets.
  • Tsurugi Higashikata[o] is a nine-year-old boy, and Jobin's son. He uses the Stand Paper Moon King,[p] which lets him create origami that upon touching a person gives them prospagnosia. It additionally allows him to create origami from other objects than paper, and is able to control origami creatures he has made.
  • Kaato Higashikata[q] is Norisuke's ex-wife and the mother of Hato, Joshu, Daiya and Jobin, and has served a fifteen-year sentence for the murder of a child. She uses a Stand that allows her to store objects in the middle of a deck of cards.
  • Kyo Nijimura[r] is the Higashikata family's maid, and uses the Stand Born This Way,[s] which takes the form of a robotic rider on a motorcycle, which attacks when its target opens an item, such as a door or a notebook.
  • Rai Mamezuku[t] is a plant appraiser and fruit grower who works for Norisuke's fruit company. He uses the Stand Doggy Style,[u] which allows him to peel his flesh like an apple, turning it into a ribbon that he can manipulate.
  • Holy Joestar–Kira[v] is an ophthalmologist from T.H. Medical University Hospital and an associate professor at Morioh's T.G. University. She is hospitalized, as parts of her brain and other organs are missing.

Production

A 2013 photo of Hirohiko Araki.
The series is created by Hirohiko Araki.

In the first volume, Araki described the story of JoJolion as being the solving of a "curse" (呪い, noroi). Curses, he goes on, are the sins of the ancestors and this makes people "unclean" (穢れ, kegare), and if this curse continues it will only turn into "resentment" (恨み, urami). Another theme is that from birth we see things as black and white, but this produces a "friction" (摩擦, masatsu) from what humanity really experiences. From these, the "curse" is lifted, this being the goal of the story.

On the inside cover of volume 2, Araki explained that the "...lion" in the title comes from both the Christian concept of blessing and the gospels ("evangelion" in Greek), the Ancient Greek myth of Pygmalion, and lions.

Reception

The first volume of JoJolion was the second best-selling manga for its debut week of December 19–25, 2011 with 237,374 copies sold.[1] The second volume ranked third, with 204,791 copies, for the week of April 16–22, 2012.[2] Its third volume debuted at number two for the week of September 17–23, selling 260,080 copies.[3] All three were some of the best-selling manga of 2012; volume one was 46th with 534,996 copies, volume two was 53rd with 516,040, and volume 3 sold 457,791 copies for 69th.[4][5] Volume four was number two for the week of May 12–18, 2013, selling 224,551 copies in its first week.[6] The 2013 edition of Kono Manga ga Sugoi!, which surveys people in the manga and publishing industry, named JoJolion the 12th best manga series for male readers.[7] It won the Grand Prize for manga at the 2013 Japan Media Arts Festival.[8]
