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.）

Heta-uma (ヘタウマ or ヘタうま) is a Japanese underground manga movement started in the 1970s with the magazine Garo. Heta-uma can be translated as "bad but good", designating a work which looks poorly drawn, but with an aesthetically conscious quality, opposed to the polished look of mainstream manga.

Some of heta-uma's main artists are Teruhiko Yumura (pen name "King Terry", not on MAL yet), Yoshikazu Ebisu and Takashi Nemoto.

This stack includes what are commonly seen as heta-uma works, as well as those I personally consider to be drawn with this sensibility.

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:

* Testamenti Cremisi | Set before Part 5, tells multiple short stories about most of the members of Passione including Tizziano and Squalo, Melone and Ghiaccio, and Risoto.
* Synchronicity in Morioh | Set after Part 4. Mystery involving Josuke and Rohan

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. The password for anything locked is "jjbeTL".

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"
The first released chapter for upcoming light novel "Synchronicity in Morioh"

"No Love Like A Parent's", "Testimione di gangster", "Risotto Nero Observes", "My Prized Needle and Thread", "The Stray Cat Leaves with the Spring Breeze" - all 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 is considered a fairly easy find on manga websites like MangaDex that I don't think people need my help to locate. Otherwise, I provide an additional link outside of the main Google Drive.

Spin-offs that aren't listed on MAL:
- Heaven's Door (Short story written by Banana Yoshimoto)
- Diamond is Unbreakable Movie Novelization
- I Testamenti Cremisi (Collection of short stories by various authors focusing on La Squadra)
- Rohan au Louvre Movie Novelization
- At a Confessional Movie Novelization
- Synchronicity in Morioh (Light novel written by Hotate Shinkawa focusing on Rohan and Josuke)

Release Order

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

A single-volume manga that you can finish in a single afternoon.

Part 2: Soon...
