JoJo A-Go!Go!
by Hirohiko Araki
funny
inspiring
lighthearted
relaxing
fast-paced
Absolutely stunning art-of book. This is my first exposure to the world of JoJo, and I am intrigued to immerse myself further. The question is, which first- the manga or the anime?
Artwork aside, the designers of the book have done a fantastic job. It reads like a music ensemble, split into sections of the 'song'. Each spread is carefully thought out, some images collaged or repeated and dissected, others simple full spread bleeds that let the original pieces talk for themselves. Printed colours are gorgeous and vibrant, but also some subtle black-on-black detailing that just makes the pages pop even more. Beautifully crafted, and love the tracing paper tip-in pages at the front and back of the book- fun and tactile.
As far as art books go, this is a 5 star from me, and that's without the bias of a JoJo fan.
