How to create villains the Hirohiko Araki way!

Manga in Theory and Practice: How to Create Villains gives you a front-row seat as Hirohiko Araki, creator of the globally popular manga JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, shares the techniques of making a great villain, examines his own work, and breaks down the four basic structures of manga. With commentary from his editor, investigations of characters like DIO, and a study of the panel layout of The JOJOLands, this book will be a crucial part of your manga development.
Hirohiko Araki made his manga debut in 1981 with the Wild West story Busô Poker. He experimented with several genres, including mystery (Mashonen B.T.) and action-horror (Baoh), before beginning JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure in 1986. Propelled by imaginative storylines, weird imagery, and individualistic artwork, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is one of the longest-running and most popular shonen manga ever. Araki’s current works include a new series set in the JoJo universe, The JOJOLands.
