JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Will the Manga Get a Part Nine?

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is one of the biggest series in all of manga, and its cult status has turned it into a global hit. If you didn’t know, creator Hirohiko Araki has been overseeing the series for over three decades, and its eighth installment just ended. But if a new report is right, it seems there is no promise a ninth is on the way.

The update was given in the preview of Ultra Jump‘s next issue. The magazine has housed the manga for years now, and it saw Jojolion to its end. Of course, this is why fans expected the story to continue for a ninth part, but the next issue seems to contain no such announcement.

As you can imagine, fans are a bit perturbed by this update. In the past, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure has kept its publication schedule smooth even when the series ended. From the first story to the eighth, there have only been two breaks in manga. JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure needed breathing room between parts five and six as well as parts six and seven. So now, the question stands how will Araki bridge parts eight and nine if at all.

After all, fans just take a moment and remember that all good things must end. JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure has been published for over 30 years, so you cannot blame Araki for wanting to retire. But given the manga’s surge in popularity, netizens are more desperate for content than ever before. This is a cause for concern, and as you can imagine, fans are freaking out. And if part nine is going to happen, it might take a bit to go live.
