You have to say 25 years – a quarter of a century – is a very long time to be working on a single story telling project. Well, that’s exactly how long manga artist Hirohiko Araki has been producing the series “JoJo no Kimyo na Boken – or JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure”, commonly referred to as “JoJo” by fans.

Not surprisingly, after 25 years in the making, the comic has a huge following of loyal fans of varying ages. The story line, which revolves around battles of good vs. evil fought between characters with supernatural powers spanning over several generations, is certainly unique, but the comic is also loved for Araki’s distinctive sense of graphic style and color, which leaves quite an impression and which once seen, is not easily forgotten.

Fans of the comic will be delighted to hear that a special exhibition of original JoJo artwork by Araki will be held later this year in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture and in Tokyo to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the series.

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is one of the longest running manga in Japan, and is well-known throughout the country for always having novel ideas and audacious stories. Now entering its eighth story arc, the manga has had more characters than you could count on your fingertips.

Regardless, one person has put 10 characters from the third arc, Stardust Crusaders, onto just that. Appearing on the left hand are: Kūjō Jōtarō, Vanilla Ice, Noriaki Kakyōin, Hol Horse, and Iggy. On the right: Joseph Joestar, DIO, Mohammed Avdol, Jean Pierre Polnareff, and Mariah.

Each nail seems to be painted delicately in full color, and the putting the cast together makes an outstanding display of nail art that any JoJo’s fan would be reluctant to remove.
