With the end of the 8th manga of "Jojo's Wonderful Adventure" and the official announcement of plans for new works, Araki Hiruhiko is planning to continue to work on the 9th work of the JOJO series after a period of rest, tentatively called "JOJO LANDS".
In addition to the ninth work, the official also plans to launch JOJO derivative manga, but this work is not by Araki Hiruihiko sensei responsible, but by Uetono Hirohira responsible for the story creation, Karasuma Kuang responsible for painting, for this work, ah, I personally have some expectations, but also worried that it will become a "Hirohito biography" such a work, so that the reputation of the entire series declined, became lost the essence of the work, although Hirohito I also look at it, its real results are ok, but the reputation did decline severely, The reason for this concern is that this derivative work may not be much involved in Araki Hiruhiko Sensei.
The two people in charge of this spin-off manga can be regarded as having a certain relationship with JOJO, and Hirohira Ueno, who is responsible for the creation of the story, is a Japanese writer who once created the spin-off novel "Shameless Purple Smoke" (which seems to be translated as Shameless Purple Smoke) in the fifth part of "Jojo's Wonderful Adventure".
There is a saying, this novel I personally feel very well written, the characters, the story are still quite in line with the story of JOJO's fifth part, the time of the story occurred half a year after the end of the fifth part, the purple smoke in the title of the work refers to Fugar and its stand-in, the story of Fuge is not instigated after Sister Bu intends to betray the enthusiastic organization, and finally after all the dust settles, his situation is embarrassing, the author created this story with this background, and also mentioned the spirit of Fuge and the further changes in the stand-in, It feels like a work with a JOJO flavor.
However, purple smoke itself is not very long, if this derivative manga is short I think it is fine, if it is too long, I am a little worried about not being able to hold it.
Karasuma Kuang, who is responsible for creating manga, has been debuting for a long time, and the most well-known work in China should be his "Non-Gun Life", although his works look very good, but I think the problem of his painting style will become a point of discussion, after all, for JOJO's work, Araki Hiruhiko's painting style is quite distinctive, and he does not know what his painting style will look like.
Before about the "JOJO's Wonderful Adventure" series of spin-off manga, I personally watched the "Shore Dew Companion Motionless" this one, it takes the Shore Companion as the protagonist, although in the story the old man in the northwest will also use the ability to stand-in, but the main story content is more like the horror manga of Junji Ito, which involves a lot of supernatural phenomena, it is a completely different style of work from the JOJO series, but the story is good or painting is Araki Hiruhiko's own responsibility, it looks very good, I personally like it very much.
In short, for this possible new fan, I am still looking forward to and worried, I don't know what friends think?
