VIZ Media announced today that the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure art book JoJo A-Go!Go! and the spin-off manga Crazy Diamond’s Demonic Heartbreak (localized as Shining Diamond’s Demonic Heartbreak) will be releasing in English in Fall 2024.
JoJo A-Go!Go!
In Japan, JoJo A-Go!Go! released on February 25, 2000. The Japanese release of JoJo A-Go!Go! particularly features illustrations spanning Phantom Blood to Vento Aureo (Golden Wind), though there is also a single Stone Ocean illustration of Jolyne Cujoh.
In Japan, JoJo A-Go!Go! consists of three books.
