Shueisha has officially announced that JOJOLANDS volume 1 will be released in August of this year. JOJOLANDS, which is the ninth part of Hirohiko Araki’s popular manga series JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, revolves around Jodio Joestar, a teenage gangster who happens to be the grandson of Joseph Joestar and Suzy Q, as well as the son of Barbara Ann Joestar.
The announcement for JOJOLANDS was made in August 2021, right after the conclusion of JoJolion. On February 17, 2023, Shueisha’s monthly seinen manga magazine Ultra Jump started serializing the manga. While the manga is still relatively new, it has received positive reviews from fans. Since it is most probably the final installment in the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure series, fans will be eager to get their hands on the first volume.

When Jodio’s principal, Meryl Mei Qi, pushes him into the world of gangsters, his life takes an unexpected turn. Along with his older sibling, the 18-year-old Dragona Joestar, and his 19-year-old friend Paco Laburantes, his adventures begin.
