JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean Is Set to Launch New Manga

JoJo is not stopping at the Netflix series

There’s exciting news for JoJo fans!

As we prepare for the arrival of  JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean on Netflix, which shows the debut of Jotaro Cujoh’s daughter Jolyne, we have something else to watch out for as well. It seems a new manga is in the works to expand the story in a whole new way.

The report

News about the new expansion comes from SugoiLITE, a well-known fan page with a penchant for leaking accurate information regarding mangas and animes. They stated that Stone Ocean will get a new manga, and the one-shot issue will explore many short stories within the new arc.

If the reports are to be confirmed, the new issue will debut in the winter edition of Ultra Jump magazine, around the same time as Stone Ocean‘s premiere on Netflix. The manga’s name will be Fujiko no Kimyou na Shoseijutsu -Whitesnake no Gosan, written by Shou Aimoto. Aimoto is also known for Kemono Jihan.

Aside from all the Stone Ocean news, an ova series about Kishibe Rohan, called Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan is also in the works. A new manga by Hirohiko Araki is also being developed, so we can expect a lot of JoJo content this year and the next.
