JoJo 6251: The World of Hirohiko Araki

Do not buy this book for just any artist or manga fan! Jojo6251 is a compilation of previously-released art of the Jojo's Bizarre Adventure MANGA, without commentary or notes. The book contains 1 original illustration with commentary (NOT by Hirohiko Araki!) on Araki's process of sketching, drawing and painting the image seen in the cover art. This book has VERY LITTLE VALUE to someone who has no knowledge of, nor doesn't read Jojo's Bizarre Adventure! For JJBA fans, Jojo6251 was originally released very early during the run of Part 4 (Diamond is Unbreakable), so there is no art from the middle or end of Part 4 (i.e: no Yoshikage Kira, the main villain), nor any art from Golden Wind and onwards. With that in mind, Jojo6251 contains loads of illustrations by legendary mangaka Hirohiko Araki, including Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and even his works that precede Jojo's, including Baoh the Visitor, Cool Shock B.T and other general illustrations. The book also includes an encyclopaedia of the characters, objects places and locations in JJBA and a timeline of events in JJBA as of Part 4 up until the Ghost Alley arc, and near the end is an interview with Hirohiko Araki and retrospective of all his past work, complete with references to Shounen Jump publications, An essential piece to any Jojo fan's collection.

I am pleasantly surprised with how good this book is. The pages are good quality and there's plenty of artwork images. As well as the great pictures there's information on the characters and locations maps. It would make a lovely gift and is an ideal book for anime/JoJos fans. I would recommend.

Incredible art style, brought me and my partner to a laugh

Must have for Jo jos fan. Great gift.

Was sold as second hand like new and it is like new. Gorgeous book

Purchased this for my son who is a jojo fan he loves it

Bought the book for my brother who is a fan of the manga but, unfortunately, it got damaged during delivery, so I had to return it and order again. The second time was more lucky and the book came intact.

Came a day after I bought, thoguht book was going to be the mini version but it was the bigger version like I wanted so that’s amazing for such a price it’s really worth it for any jojo fan. Great seller!

Super beau et est miraculeusement arrivé en très bon état! 😂

I absolutely love jojos. The art is magnificent, beautiful work from our goat Araki.

Es HERMOSO no puedo con tanta belleza lo amo es lo mas bonito que han visto mis ojos. Llego en perfecto estado y un dia antes de lo previsto.

O livro expõe várias das mais icônicas poses e ambições dos protagonistas das partes 1 a 4 - em alta qualidade de impressão e realçando cada detalhe que o Araki tanto zela em qualquer capa para a Jump. Inicialmente comprei por achar que se trataria de um artbook bruto, com conceitos e rascunhos, mas foi mais intrigante que isso. Achei bem especial dele ter tomado o tempo para explicar sobre o conceito de cada um dos elementos principais dos arcos como Hamon, Stands, as cartas de tarô, enfim, tudo o que enriquece a bizarrice fantástica de JoJo. Espero que tenha em breve uma continuação deste mundo para Golden Wind, Stone Ocean, Steel Ball Run - ah, tudo né? E talvez ter artes do nosso amado Kira, que só teve parte da Killer Queen no protetor de capa. Demorou bastante pra chegar vindo da Amazon, mas estou feliz com o que comprei :D

Good purchase
