Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Shatters the Fourth Wall In New Spinoff Chapter
Long-running manga series Jojo's Bizarre Adventure has had its share of gags leaning on the fourth wall over the years, but it's only in the most recent chapter of spinoff series Thus Spoke Rohan Kishibe that series creator Hirohiko Araki smashed through it entirely.
The character of Rohan Kishibe is a fairly popular one amongst the Jojo fandom, in part because this in-universe manga creator has become Araki's author avatar. Rohan's series revolves around stand-alone stories with strange monsters, often being recounted after the fact in a way that causes the reader to question how much of the story is actually true--especially since he's usually telling these stories to convince someone to do something for him. The chapters are often similar to internet «creepypastas,» brief horror tales and urban legends with no clear origin, enhanced by Araki's detailed and stylized artwork.

While some fans have wondered why Thus Spoke Rohan Kishibehas no ending, that's because new chapters are still releasing sporadically.
