JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run English Manga Release Confirmed

Viz Media confirmed on social media that it will release the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run manga in English, as well as the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Globetrotter Guidebook. Both have a Summer 2025 launch window. There are no exact release dates for either one yet, however. 

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run is the sixth part of the manga, which hasn’t been available outside Japan officially until now. Its run consisted of 24 volumes, which appeared in Japan between 2004 and 2011. The name is taken from the race in which Johnny Joestar and jockeys like Diego Brando, Gyro Zeppeli, and Hot Pants compete. 

As for the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Globetrotter Guidebook, that is a 35th anniversary project that’s been available in Japan since 2022. It is a guidebook covering places visited from the original Phantom Blood up through JoJolion. None of The JOJOLands appears. So it covers actual places and inspirations for them.

Here is how the covers for both volume one of the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run manga and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Globetrotter Guidebook looked in Japan.

Both JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Globetrotter Guidebook will appear in English starting in Summer 2025. The most recent manga part being handled by Viz Media is Stone Ocean, and the anime for that arc aired on Netflix.
