 This year's August issue of Ultra Jump revealed on Thursday that Hirohiro Araki's JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken Part 8: JoJolion (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 8: Jojolion) manga will end in the magazine's next issue on August 19 after a ten-year serialization.Synopsis In 2011, childhood friends Yasuho Hirose and Joushuu Higashikata discover a naked man buried in the ground just outside the town of Morioh. The man has no memory of his name or previous life; the only thing he remembers about himself is how to use his Stand, a supernatural ability that takes the form of a humanoid creature. The stranger is quickly given a name, Jousuke, and Joushuu's father Norisuke decides to adopt him into the Higashikata household until he can find his own home. As Jousuke begins to investigate his past, it becomes apparent that he is no ordinary amnesiac. There is much more to his identity than he first suspected, and, as he is thrust into a series of high-stakes Stand battles, he soon begins unravelling a deadly conspiracy that encompasses the entire town. [Written by MAL Rewrite] Araki began drawing the eighth part of his JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure) supernatural adventure manga series on Ultra Jump in May 2011. Shueisha shipped the 26th volume on May 19 (pictured). JoJolion won the Grand Prize at the 2013 Japan Media Arts Festival in the manga division. In the same year, it placed 12th among male readers in the Kono Manga ga Sugoi! rankings. Source: Comic Natalie |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| Wow I had no idea it was nearing the end actually. I hope Araki gets some rest once this part is over and done with~ |
| All good things must come to an end :( I don't know if this will be the end for all of jojo but I'm glad araki gets to finish another amazing part in the way he wants. |
 |
| JoJo part 9 when??? |
 |
| Will Araki lay down the pen after this one? Remains to be seen. I'm at part 7 |
 |
| Oh damn, I have to finish Part 5 still |
 |
| I really hope that there will be a "Part 9", but if Araki's done with JoJo or even manga-writing as a whole, I'll still be happy and eternally grateful for what we did get. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is easily the best anime/manga of all-time IMO Can't wait for Stone Ocean's anime adaptation either. Planning to read SBR and JJL after that finishes up |
My greatest contribution to this website:  |
| Love Araki for this part. It was my fav out of all the eight parts we got. Even if Araki doesn't plan on Part 9, we all would be grateful to him forever. JJBA was and is a masterpiece and will always be. |
 |
| It was cancelled for low sales. Araki was complaining that he had to cut things in vol 26 and now we suddenly get the rushed ending. |

JanPri said: Rushed ending after 10 years of publishing? This is literally the longest part of Jojo, isn't it? He wanted it to be even longer? It was 90% filler, one subarc took 2 years and isn't even important. |

JanPri said: Even by 2016 JoJolion (5 years running at the time) outsold SBR (7 year run) in total # of copies sold so I highly fucking doubt they would cancel the way more popular of the 2 parts (by sales). SBR did not sell nearly as well as you might think though not to say it flopped because it didn't.Well, maybe that's the reason why it lost popularity and was canceled in the end ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |

| I hope new part will start soon! |
 |
| Only two parts to go boys. |
  |

People were bored and it was cancelled. |

ichii_1 said: Most series published on Ultra Jump (Jumps by far least popular segment) don't even have 200k average volume sales but ok. This would equate to roughly 600k annual sales annually since volumes have 4 or so chapters and its a monthly seinen. JoJolion's current volume sales at its lowest now are over 60% the total average sales per volume of the entirety of Steel Ball Run combined. Plus, it's pretty impressive that JoJolion managed to keep nearly half its readers buying volumes 10 years in at this point so its not even like it was a rapid decline and it just suddenly fell off.SignsOfSuicide said: Even by 2016 JoJolion (5 years running at the time) outsold SBR (7 year run) in total # of copies sold so I highly fucking doubt they would cancel the way more popular of the 2 parts (by sales).

| Even if part 9 gets announced right now I won't be hyped anymore. Looking at what Jojolion is, it seems that Araki has lost his muse for good. |
 |
| While it was obvious that the climax of this manga has started in the recent months, I expected JoJolion to last until Fall 2021, to be honest. Interesting. I wonder how the ending will be like, then. |
| Holy shit, finally. Haven't read the latest chapters because I wanted to wait for some more to be released to read them all at once. Ended up not enjoying Jojolion all that much unfortunately. Still having high hopes for part 9. |
| Feels like yesterday when I read the first chapter in another country 10 years ago... |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| I'm not a huge JoJo fan but to my understanding, Part 8 was rather long running compared to the other parts. Makes me wonder how many episodes it would have if it got adapted to an anime. I also hear Part 9 is already in the works? I think that's pretty crazy. |
| 10 years is an impressive run. |
