It has been serialized by Shueisha in the magazine Ultra Jump since May 19, 2011, and has been collected in 17 volumes totaling 70 chapters, with 6 additional chapters not yet volumized.

Plot

Set in the same continuity as Steel Ball Run, S-City, M-Prefecture (M県S市, Emu-ken, Esu-shi) was devastated by the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. In the aftermath, strange structures known colloquially as the Wall Eyes (壁の目, Kabe no Me) appear all over Morioh Town (杜王町, Moriō-chō) with the ground having strange properties of swapping the traits of whatever is buried under it. When a local college student named Yasuho Hirose finds a mysterious youth buried under one of the Wall Eyes, revealed to possess a Stand during a fight with Yasuho's would-be suitor Joshu Higashikata, the youth and Yasuho set off on an adventure together to try to recover his identity. They are later attacked by Ojiro Sasame and his Stand Fun Fun Fun. The youth activates his Stand, named Soft & Wet, using its power to steal the friction from the floor above him that Sasame is standing on. The mystery deepens when he finds what remained of Yoshikage Kira's corpse near where he was found.

Yashuo leaves the youth under the care of the Higashikata family and its patriarch Norisuke IV, who gives him the named Josuke, while she attempts to figure things out from police reports. Josuke eventually learns that the Higashikata family are related to Yoshikage Kira though a marriage that took place a century ago between Johnny Joestar and Rina Higashikata. Both he and Yasuho discover that Yoshikage's mother Holy Joestar-Kira lives in Morioh, Yasuho learning Holy is suffering memory loss due to an incurable disease while Josuke's encounter with the Higashikatas' maid Kyo Nijimura, Holy's daughter, presents a revelation that he is a composite of Yoshikage's missing body parts with that of another person. When Josuke later confronts Norisuke after Yasuho was "kidnapped" by the patriarch's grandson Tsurugi Higashikata, the girl's stand having manifested at that point, he learns that the Higashikata bloodline is cursed and they need Yoshikage's memories for a cure to prevent them from slowly turning to stone.

But the group are attacked by a Stand user named Yotsuyu Yagiyama, who tricks Tsurugi into helping him trap Josuke by revealing a strange fruit that nullifies the petrification curse. After Yagiyama is revealed not to be human when his body crumbles to stone when defeated, Josuke meets Norisuke's eldest son Jobin, also Tsurugi's father. As Norisuke's Stand King Nothing suddenly activated in Jobin's presence after Norisuke attempted to locate Yagiyama's fruit, Josuke deduced Jobin had seen it before. Josuke interrogates Tsurugi, who has befriended the mysterious "cured" stone dog Iwasuke, for information on his father's Stand so they may learn about the fruit. Josuke takes Tsurugi's advice to challenge Jobin to a game of insect fighting between their two rare stag beetles. After winning the first match, Josuke tricked Jobin into betting his Lamborghini Gallardo. Jobin then substitutes his D. t. palawanicus for an Allotopus rosenbergi which had a hole drilled into its head and filled with wax to make it act erratic when it melts. Through this, Josuke learns of Jobin's heat manipulating Stand Speed King and uses the venom of an Asian giant hornet that Jobin's first beetle defeated to win the match. As Jobin inquires Josuke's intentions, the latter attempts to stall while managing to send the car key to Tsurugi so the boy and Yashuo can check the card's event data recorder to learn where Jobin last encountered the fruit tree.

Yasuho becomes fully aware of her Stand Paisley Park as it helps Tsurugi uncover that Jobin met with a security guard named Aisho Dainenjiyama who possesses a potted plant of the mysterious fruit. The two track down Dainenjiyama and witness him selling it to an oldman who regained his legs by eating the fruit at the cost of his eyes. Dainenjiyama realizes he has been spotted by the two and he pursues them with his Stand Doobie Wah!, which uses their breath to create miniature tornadoes to attack them. Contacting Jobin that he was spotted, Dainenjiyama believes he caught the two before Tsurugi uses his illusionary Stand Paper Moon King into trick Dainenjiyama into getting hit by a Morioh public bus made to look like Jobin. Dainenjiyama crumbles to stone like Yagiyama, the two revealed to be members of a race of stone-based beings known as Rock People (岩人間, Iwa Ningen) that only appear human while conscious. The plant is also revealed to be a Rokakaka Tree (ロカカカの樹, Rokakaka no Ki), native to the New Guinea highlands that cure people of various ailments but they are required to lose an aspect of themselves in exchange.

Sometime after she and Tsurugi begin to research the Rokakaka Tree, Yasuho meets with Josuke before they encounter a woman named Karera Sakunami who knew Yoshikage Kira and Josuke's other half, Josefumi Kujo. But the reunion is interrupted by a pair of Stand-using Rock Human twins known as the A. Phex Brothers, who are after Karera while recognizing Josuke as someone they had met before. Josuke manages to kill the A. Phex Brothers with help from Karera and her Stand Love Love Deluxe. Karera then leaves Josuke behind, promising to meet with him again. As Yasuho helps Josuke learn more about Josefumi while continuing to research the Rokakaka Tree on her own, the eldest daughter Hato Higashikata brings new boyfriend Tamaki Damo to the house. But Damo is revealed to be a Rock Human, and uses his Stand Vitamin C to liquidify several of the Higashikata household to track down his associates' killer along with any information they have on Yoshikage Kira, whom he met years before.

Through a series of flashbacks, it was revealed that Josefumi first met Yoshikage in 1997 when he was rushed to T.H. Medical University where Holy was the doctor who saved the boy's life after he was left to drown by his own mother. In 2009, Yoshikage discovers Aisho Dainenjiyama's arrival in Morioh as a stone from Papua New Guinea with the Rokakaka Tree in tow. He requests Josefumi's help in stealing a Rokakaka branch from the Rock Human and graft it to another tree so they can use the fruit to cure Holy of her mysterious disease. But this resulted with the two men marked for death two years later by the Rock Humans with Yoshikage fatally wounded as Josefumi attempts to save his life with the Rokakaka fruit. But as Josefumi feeds Kira their last Rokakaka Fruit, they are buried alive during the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami under the ground on which a Wall Eyes emerged: The same area of land where Yasuho later found Josuke, who is now revealed to Josefumi fused with the parts of Kira that were not present when his corpse was found.

In the present, as the memories of his past self and Kira begin to surge through him, Josuke attempts to warn Hato of Damo's intentions and is surprised to see her using her Stand, Walking Heart to nearly kill Damo before he personally kills the Rock Human. Coming to terms of being a amalgamation, Josuke decides to honor his halves' wishes and cure Holy of her disease by finding the Rokakaka Tree. As Josuke starts searching for the grafted branches, he encounters a Rock Human named Dolomite who is acting on Jobin's orders to stop him. Later he meets with a plant appraiser Rai Mamezuku, who also has a Stand named Doggy Style, facing the Rock Human, Urban Guerrilla, and his pet Doremifasolati Do, Josuke learns that the inhuman beings and Jobin are part of a smuggling organization that will kill anyone who learns of the Rokakaka plant.

Not long after, Jobin meets with Urban's superior Poor Tom and instructed into burying a toy house in the Higashikata Estate's orchard. This is later revealed to be Poor Tom's Stand Ozon Baby, which manipulations the air pressure on the estate grounds to inflict harm on the Higashikatas, including Tsurugi and Jobin himself. But when Jobin sets the orchard on fire in retaliation, Tom is forced to reveal himself and save his Stand as Josuke and Mamezuku arrive. In the resulting struggle, using Ozon Baby to kill Mamezuku despite being poisoned by him and Josuke, Tom attempts to flee with what he assumed to be the Rokakaka branch when he is killed by an unknown assassin.

Production

A 2013 photo of Hirohiko Araki.
The series is created by Hirohiko Araki.

In the first volume, Araki described the story of JoJolion as being the solving of a "curse" (呪い, noroi). Curses, he goes on, are the sins of the ancestors and this makes people "unclean" (穢れ, kegare), and if this curse continues it will only turn into "resentment" (恨み, urami). Another theme is that from birth we see things as black and white, but this produces a "friction" (摩擦, masatsu) from what humanity really experiences. From these, the "curse" is lifted, this being the goal of the story.

On the inside cover of volume 2, Araki explained that the "...lion" in the title comes from both the Christian concept of blessing and the gospels ("evangelion" in Greek), the Ancient Greek myth of Pygmalion, and lions.

The first volume of JoJolion was the second best-selling manga for its debut week of December 19–25, 2011 with 237,374 copies sold.[1] The second volume ranked third, with 204,791 copies, for the week of April 16–22, 2012.[2] Its third volume debuted at number two for the week of September 17–23, selling 260,080 copies.[3] All three were some of the best-selling manga of 2012; volume one was 46th with 534,996 copies, volume two was 53rd with 516,040, and volume 3 sold 457,791 copies for 69th.[4][5] Volume four was number two for the week of May 12–18, 2013, selling 224,551 copies in its first week.[6] The 2013 edition of Kono Manga ga Sugoi!, which surveys people in the manga and publishing industry, named JoJolion the 12th best manga series for male readers.[7] It won the Grand Prize for manga at the 2013 Japan Media Arts Festival.[8]
