Excerpt of a column by Yoshihiro Togashi (Yu Yu Hakusho/Hunter x Hunter) about JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. - HIROHIKO ARAKI WORKS (2012) He likes how Polnareff and Okuyasu easily switch gears. The Stand he would want is Harvest. He couldn't decide on his favorite JoJo part.

There are many series that can stun you with their first chapter. For me, the reaction is always twofold. As an artist, I'm impressed, thinking, “I see, so that was another way to approach it!” But as a reader, I'm simply excited, thinking, "This is incredible! It’s definitely going to be great!" It's a strange sensation, like a rush of both cool, analytical admiration and hot, passionate excitement all at once. But a series that delivers a shock equal to, or even greater than, its debut multiple times throughout its run is incredibly rare. Almost nonexistent. That is the kind of manga JoJo is. Each character's distinct worldview, the onomatopoeia, the dialogue, the poses, the system of passing down the role of protagonist, the visualization of psychic powers... People may say this is all old news, but you simply can't talk about JoJo without covering these points. Every time I reread it, the feelings from that time come flooding back to me: the pure joy I felt as a reader, and simultaneously, the sense of defeat I felt as a creator. To me, that is what JoJo is. A manga artist has to play many roles alone. Needless to say, you are the director, but you also write the script, act out the roles (and for every single character!), handle the staging, prepare the costumes, apply the makeup, do the sets, props, location scouting... there’s just so much to do. When you juggle so many roles, some of them are bound to be mediocre. It's a common story in manga: you have a lineup of good-looking characters but they all act like cardboard, or the visual beauty is incredible but the script is garbage. But JoJo is on a different dimension. The staff and cast of JoJo are all incredible. Everything involved in JoJo seems to be arranged with an almost inevitable sense of purpose, all to make JoJo what it is. This is incredibly difficult.
