Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure to Reach 1,000 Chapters By the End of 2026
After nearly 40 years, Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure will reach a total of 1,000 chapters, mixing its weekly and monthly runs.
On October 19, 2026, Hirohiko Araki broke some recent habits as he releases a chapter of Part 9: Jojolion, which has 25 pages instead of the usual 30-45 pages.
Some fans think he released a shorter chapter to ensure the manga reaches 1,000 chapters by the end of calendar year 2026 while still not overdoing himself on his intended break month.
This breaks from a recent Araki tradition established at the start of Jojolands, where he would take a break every October, meaning he only releases 11 monthly chapters per year and on average, only 440 pages annually.
- Part 1 (Phantom Blood): 44 chapters (January 1, 1987 – October 26, 1987)
- Part 2 (Battle Tendency): 69 chapters (November 2, 1987 – March 27, 1989)
- Part 3 (Stardust Crusaders): 152 chapters (April 3, 1989 – April 27, 1992)
- Part 4 (Diamond is Unbreakable): 174 chapters (May 4, 1992 – December 4, 1995)
- Part 5 (Golden Wind / Vento Aureo): 155 chapters (December 11, 1995 – April 5, 1999)
- Part 6 (Stone Ocean): 158 chapters (December 7, 1999 – April 8, 2003)
- Part 7 (Steel Ball Run): 95 chapters (January 19, 2004 – April 19, 2011; serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump then transferred to Ultra Jump in 2005)
- Part 8 (JoJolion): 110 chapters (May 19, 2011 – August 19, 2021)
- Part 9 (The JOJOLands): 41 chapters (February 17, 2023-present)
Across its entire run, Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure had a clean total of 775 chapters from 1987 to 2005 (across 18 years) and 225 monthly chapters from 2005 to present (across 21 years), with Weekly Jojo’s reaching over 15,100 pages while Monthly Jojo’s having over 10,000 pages for a total of around 25,142 pages, with Jojolion being the longest part in both duration and page count.
