What is the origin story of Kishibe Rohan’s stories?
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is one of the most loved anime in its genre. Like it bizarre title, the manga and its anime adaptation are equally bizarre. The story, written by Hirohiko Araki, features a variety of characters as seen in the protagonists, the Joestar family. The family members discover that they have psychic powers, which they must then use to defeat their supernatural enemies. Thus Spoke Rohan Kishibe (known as Kishibe Rohan wa Ugokanai in Japanese) is a spin-off series based on this manga. This spin-off series borrows its title inspiration from Nietzsche’s novel Thus Spoke Zarathustra. It follows Kishibe Rohan, a manga artist, who travels around the world for inspiration.
