Ooookay! And now finally, he we are, the last one of these releases. For those that haven’t been keeping track, we’ve been making our way through the volumes redoing the magazine versions with better raws over the course of the last few years now because we didn’t have the resources to do it when the volumes had just come out. Though we did previously do volumes 1-2 at one point, this is an updated version that improves those releases and brings the quality up to the level of our other Jojolion volume releases. This version has the best versions of the color pages I could find with and without the insert texts from the magazine, all the pages are properly sized so the single pages are the same width, all the sound effects are typeset, all the text is updated to our current typesetting style, and I also went through the translation and tried to improve it where that was possible. Generally speaking that just involved trying to make the phrasing sound more natural and fixing a couple super-minor mistakes from back in 2014 when we first did these. They use the same cleans as last time though as those were already good.

With that, I think we’re all done with JoJolion. It’s been a verrrry long journey. We did 27 volumes in both magazine and volume versions (The first 8 chapters were only ever done with volume versions but the rest we did twice. But technically we redid those again in this release. And I think we’ve technically released chapter 9 three times now if you count the magazine one.) And now I think the work is finally complete. We may go back and fix something if a mistake or something is found, but otherwise I think that’s it. We’re not gonna do something like re-release chapters with textless high-res versions of color pages from new art books or redo everything if some sorta collector’s edition with better quality paper comes out. I think for those things it’s better to just encourage people to seek out the artbooks/re-releases on their own rather than re-update releases years after the fact for something like that. Otherwise we’re spending tons and tons of time just re-doing stuff when we could be doing something new. And I think everyone’s pretty happy with what we’ve put out now. I hope you all enjoy it, JoJolion is a great series!

We’ll see you in Part 9, whenever that starts!

Also, we have a new Discord! Come hang out and talk about manga. https://discord.gg/fxrmZufp

Bwaaaah we did it! Here are our HQ releases of volume 3 and volume 27! And with that, we’ve released volume versions of all of JoJolion. We finally did it after a very long period of working out way back through the old volumes from when the newest volume was volume 15 back in 2017. I’m very happy about this as this was a ton of work from a ton of people.
Volume 3 should be much improved from the magazine versions we did back when they came out in like 2013-ish. Volume 27 is mostly just the high-res volume version but there’s also a couple extra pages between chapters and at the end (Though it doesn’t change the story really.)

So right now the plan is we’re still going to do a *slightly* updated version of volumes 1 and 2 which have a few fixes to be in line with our modern style. They’ll have fixed widths for the single pages, added in the other color pages they were missing, have the sound effects added, and I’ll fix any translation issues I find from when I did those back in 2014 and 2015. But they’re not gonna change a TON, we’re gonna use the same scans/cleans. Those are done besides the typesetting/lettering part. Anyhow I hope you all enjoy these!

(Also we can’t put these on Mangadex still because you can’t update them with new pages. We’ll put them there along with like 30 other things like this whenever that goes up.)

Whew, so here’s our HQ version of volume 4. There’s just one volume left which we don’t have a volume version for left and that’s 3. And then we’re gonna redo v1 and v2 to be more in-line with our current styles and have all the sound effects and all that. I said this on the other volumes, but they’re all done except for the last step which is the typesetters going through them and updating the fonts, which they can only do when they’re free from other stuff they got going on. So those’ll definitely get done at some point. Again, the series is on hiatus until whatever JOJOLANDS is comes out and volume 27 comes out next month. (Also we still can’t upload this to Mangadex until they allow editing chapter pages again.) See ya later!

And this is it! The final chapter! We’ve now officially scanlated all of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure Part 8 – JoJolion!
Volume 27 comes out next month and we’ll do a high quality version using the raws for that once it does. Our HQ versions of volumes 1-4 are almost done, I’m gonna see if there’s any way to get them finished up sooner because it’s really been dragging on longer than I want.

There’s no… uh… Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure next issue. As you might’ve heard by now because it’s been going around Twitter, in a comment at the end of the magazine in the Table of Contents by Araki says the next thing he’s doing is tentatively called “JOJOLANDS”. Which is probably Part 9, unless it’s some totally different thing. But he says he’s taking a small break before that starts. The plan for now is for us to just continue on to that part, assuming we still have enough staff to do it and nothing else unexpected happens. But I’ve been working on this series for a long time and I dunno if I can do it forever because Araki is immortal and Jojo’s will possibly never end. ANYHOW we’ll figure that out once more is announced. Enjoy this final chapter!

109! Also it looks like next month Jojolion concludes. It’s been quite a 10 years. Next month is on the usual release day of the 19th in Japan so we’ve got a bit of a longer wait than usual because this month’s was super early for some reason (Maybe to do with the Olympics starting next week? We dunno really.)

We’re still trying to get the last few of the old volumes done, hopefully we can get them out soon. We’ve been trying to figure out a plan for that so it doesn’t take so long.

Oh I should also mention that seemingly there is no 3-Gatsu no Lion chapter in the next Young Animal (So that’s two in a row without one that hasn’t happened in a while). So the next chapter may not be until August 13th Japan time at the earliest.

Uh, so the series may end soon but we dunno when. So let’s just keep going, however many more chapters are left. We’re working on getting the HQ volume 4 done in the meantime. See ya next month!

Here it is! 26. This volume came out not too long ago so I’m glad we were able to get it done pretty quick this time. We’re working on the handful of old volumes still, and hopefully we get the next one out in not too long. Again, they need to be completely re-lettered which our letterers can only do in their free time.

I feel like I should mention here that I updated a few lines regarding the “invisible spin bubbles” from these chapters because now we know what they actually are (I updated them a bit ago and reuploaded the magazine versions but these have those changes, too). The issue was when they were first introduced we didn’t have any context, so it wasn’t clear if “その中に” meant “inside” or “among”, a lot of lines were said in a way where it was hard to tell if they were clarifying something or introducing a new idea… it’s all kind of hard to explain if you don’t know Japanese. It wasn’t fully clear until like chapter 105 when we got the full explanation.

But basically the end result is there’s just two “types” of bubbles. There’s the original ones at Jousuke’s fingertips which he can fire and the invisible ones that defy logic, are “just spin”, and appear from the mark on his shoulder that he can’t control. There’s nothing inside them, Mamezuku Rai was saying that the special invisible bubbles are “among” the other bubbles. They’re both made of spinning lines, but for the second type of bubbles they are “just spin” and have no physical “cords” that are spinning (Which the originals have). Anyhow those bubbles gave me a real headache and sorry about the confusion.

Anyyyhow check this out in the much-higher-resolution glory.

And we’re back with 106!
Uh, so the manga did not end this issue and it’s not ending next issue either (They’d announce if it were the final chapter in advance, most likely) so the series will reach the 10-year anniversary mark in June.

Anyhow we’ll see ya next month! Volume 26 comes out next month too. We’re working on the HQ version of volume 4 as well.

Mangadex is still down so we have an imgur link and a cubari.moe link if you want to read it online. I have a big list of all the stuff I need to upload to Mangadex whenever it goes back up.

Woo, these are done! For some reason these ended up getting finished at the same time.
So we’re caught up on new volumes again and we have one more of the older volumes out. We still need to do 3 and 4, which we’ll get to when we’ll get done once the typesetter has time to redo the typesetting on those volumes. Then we’re gonna redo the typesetting on volumes 1-2, though we already did volume scanlations of those, so it’ll only be the text that’s different. And volume 26 is planned to go on sale in early summer.

As usual, these have all the changes made between the magazines and volumes in them, which is just a couple lines usually. And for volume 5 I went back and double-checked everything and fixed a couple small mistakes and tried to make any other improvements in the translation where I could.
Enjoy, everyone!
