Summary

The book is a catalog filled with artwork from each part, separated into multiple sections. Each section is categorized by the years the art in it was created, ranging from 1981 to 2012. Aside from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, the catalog features art from Araki's previous works (such as Gorgeous Irene and Baoh the Visitor), spin-offs, tributes and contributions to various other publications. The artbook also includes copies of the original pages of Chapter 263: DIO's World, Part 17.

The margin of each page is partially colored. Depending on which way the book is bent, either the Stand Cries "ORA ORA ORA ORA" or "MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA" appear.

In addition, there are special columns reviewing JoJo's Bizarre Adventure by Ryosuke Kabashima, Akiya Takahashi, Yoshihiro Togashi, Otsuichi, Medicos Entertainment's Figure Prototype Team, Tamaki Saito, Noriko Narumi, Mitsuru Kobayashi, and Banana Yoshimoto.

TranslationTranscript

The manuscript of a manga is something that is printed, made into a book, and then delivered to the readers for them to appraise. In the printing process, lines sometimes get blurred. Other times, they're printed too fine, or the printing paper and manuscript paper differ, or a part that was colored orange somehow comes out red. Even if I put in a request to print it as close to the manuscript as possible, there are limits to what they can do. This is the fate, and the rule, of manga manuscripts. (On occasion, lines that are blurred during printing actually create a neat effect.) Some might think that a pro should take the printing process into account when drawing the manuscript, but I wonder if other manga artists have the luxury of doing such a thing. At the very least, I don't. When I draw, I consider it a rule to treat a manuscript as a manuscript, and a book as a book.

Regardless, these manuscripts are typically stored in my file book, which is tucked away in a cabinet. But I'm very happy that for this occasion, they return to the open air and light of day, as if awakening from a years-long sleep, in the form of this original art exhibition for you to enjoy. It also feels, to me, like a grandiose feat. But I'm sincerely thankful to the fans, who have read JoJo's Bizarre Adventure for 25 years, for giving me this opportunity.

You can try to find the differences between the originals and the printed versions as you read this book, or recall the feel of the original art once you return home. At any rate, nothing would make me happier than if you enjoyed your time here.

マンガ原稿は、印刷されて、本になって、読者の目の前に届き、そして評価されるものです。

印刷でちょっと線のタッチがつぶれちゃってるとか、逆に線がかすれてるとか、紙質が原稿用紙と違うとか、カラー原稿で、オレンジ色に塗ったのに、赤色にしか見えないとか。「原画になるべく近づけて印刷して下さい」と注文とかお願いしても限界はどこかにあって、それがマンガ原稿の宿命であって、ルールです(逆にタッチがつぶれてくれたおかげでシャープで良い感じになったりとかあったりして)。印刷されたときのことを計算に入れて描くのがプロだろ?と思われる方も居られるかと思いますが、そんな余裕が他の漫画家の先生達とかあるのかなあ?少なくとも僕には余裕なんて無くて、原稿は原稿、本は本、と割り切って描くのがルールと思うようにしています。

とはいえ、その「原稿たち」が普段、「ファイルブック」の中に保管されて、戸棚にしまわれているのに、何年もの眠りから目醒めるかのように、このたび、空気と光の下に出されで、皆様の目の前で原画展という形で見ていただけることになったのは、本当に嬉しいことです。何という大それた行為なのか…とも思います。でも、”25年”、「ジョジョの奇妙な冒険」を読んでいただいている、読者の皆様のおかげでこんな光栄な機会を与えていただき心から感謝いたします。本書を見ながら「原画と印刷絵」の違いを見ていただくのも良いし、お家に帰ってから原画の感じを思い出されるのも良いし、とにかく楽しんでいただけたら、それ以上言うことは何もなく、幸せなことです。
