Jojo no Kimyouna Bouken: Ougon no Kaze [BEST Price] - In Stock

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure first appeared on Weekly Shonen Jump in 1987 and has enjoyed a healthy run and seven major story arcs since its debut. In the original story, the year is 1868 in England and the cries of a baby are heard by a vandal named Dario Brando. He follows the crying to an overturned stagecoach and intends to rob the occupants whom he presumes are dead. He finds a male that is still alive named George Joestar who offers Dario a reward for helping them. Fast forward to 1880 and Dario Brando is dying in bed and tells his son Dio to go to the Joestars to cash in Dario's reward. George Joestar welcomes Dio to the family but son Jonathan is less welcoming when he discovers Dio's true nature...

A fast paced and action-packed manga, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure regaled fans in 7 parts spanning a century of blood feuds. Dio Brando and Jonathan Joester started the adventure in 1880s England and their bloody legacy would span generations. The fifth storyline takes place in 2002 where Dio's son, Giorno Giovanna and his crew travel to Naples and go up against a band of evil Stand users. The Stand is a form of psychic force / manifestation which stands next to the conjurer and battles foes with bombastic effect.
