Chronology

Preceded by: JoJolion

The JoJoLands (stylized as The JOJOLands) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Hirohiko Araki, and the ninth part of the larger JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series. Set in the U.S. state of Hawaii in the 2020s, it follows Jodio Joestar, a teenaged gangster intent on becoming wealthy. It is serialized by Shueisha in the seinen manga magazine Ultra Jump since February 17, 2023.

Plot

Jodio Joestar is a high schooler living with his family on Oahu, Hawaii, intent on becoming rich through the "mechanisms" of daily life. Working alongside his older sibling Dragona and his kleptomaniac classmate Paco Laburantes, Jodio is led into gang activities by his principal, Meryl Mei Qi.[1]

Characters

See also: List of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure characters § Part 9: The JoJoLands
  • Jodio Joestar[a] is a 15-year-old gangster living with his family on Oahu, Hawaii, where he acts as a gofer for the state's underground drug trade. Despite his popularity among his peers, he finds it difficult to be truly happy and is diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder. Using his stand, November Rain,[b] he can create raindrops with crushing force.
  • Dragona Joestar[c] is Jodio's 18-year-old sibling, who in addition to being part of the gang works in a fashion boutique. Dragona is biologically male but presents feminine, including breast implants and women's clothing. They wield the stand Smooth Operators,[d] consisting of small robots that have the capability of displacing things.
  • Paco Laburantes[e] is a 19-year-old classmate of Jodio's, and part of the gang. He comes from an abusive household, having one of his ears partially bitten off by his father, and engages in theft as if it were a sport. Using his stand, The Hustle,[f] he can bulge his muscles to grab objects without using his hands, aiding him in sleights of hand.
  • Usagi Alohaoe[g] is a 17-year-old classmate of Jodio's, who takes part in stealing the diamond under Meryl Mei Qi's request. He is also one of Meryl's most frequent customers, causing his other accomplices to rule him off as an addict and a hinderance. Using his stand, The Matte Kudasai,[h] he can use an existing object to transform into what someone else wants it to be, excluding his own wishes.
  • Meryl Mei Qi[i] is the principal of Jodio's school and owner of a fashion boutique, who is also the boss of Jodio and his classmates. She instructs them to steal a diamond from a then unknown Japanese tourist visiting the islands.
  • Barbara Ann Joestar[j] is the mother of Jodio and Dragona Joestar. Due to the support of her children, everyone respects her and assists her when needed.
  • Rohan Kishibe[k] is a successful Japanese manga artist visiting Hawaii for a 15-day vacation. Jodio and his classmates are tasked with stealing a diamond from his villa. Just like his original counterpart in Diamond Is Unbreakable and Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan, he wields the Stand Heaven's Door,[l] which allows him to temporarily turn living beings into books which he can freely read or write commands into.

Production and release

The JoJoLands is written and illustrated by Hirohiko Araki. It was announced in August 2021 following the conclusion of JoJolion, the previous part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure,[2][3] and began serialization in Shueisha's monthly seinen manga magazine Ultra Jump on February 17, 2023.[4]
