is a
Japanese manga written and illustrated by
Hirohiko Araki. It is famous for its original art style (complete with over-the-top violence), intricate plot, and numerous Western rock music references. Every main character's name in each series can be read as JoJo. The manga, published by
Shueisha in their magazine
Weekly Shonen Jump, started in 1987 and went on to 2004. The latest part was initially published in Weekly Shonen Jump, but was moved to
Ultra Jump in 2005. It's currently Shonen Jump's 2nd longest running manga with 92 and counting volumes (including Steel Ball Run) (only Kochi-Kame, with 150+ volumes, has more.) It is the longest manga not to have a TV anime adaptation.
