Task 8

Araki Hirohiko is a japanese mangaka born in June 6th, 1960. He is known for writing the manga “Baoh” in 1984, but he is worldwide known for writing “Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure” in 1987, one of the longest and most acclaimed mangas of all time and is currently on it’s 8th part now.

Right now there is an anime adaptation of “Jojo’s”, this adaptation is available until the 3rd part, but the 4th part should be airing next year.

Araki has been often compared to Akira Toriyama, the Dragon Ball creator, but I think that Araki is cleverer, more creative and with a very unique style when he tells his stories and how the fight scenes are developed. Thanks to his work in Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, Araki has changed forever how a good fight should be written in a manga.

I get to know him because one of my best friends told me to watch it. So I watched it and I fell in love with the story, when I finished the anime I started to read the manga.

If I happen to meet him I’d ask him of how he gets the inspiration to write the story, because all the Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure parts are very different from each other, how could he tell a story since 1987 until today without losing any quality, in fact, it has only improved.

And I’d ask if he’s had any legal problem with his manga, because most of the main villains are named after famous western bands, like AC/DC, Metallica, Spice Girls and Foo Fighters.
