=== Critical reception ===
Reviewing the first volume, [[IGN]] named ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'' a "must read", declaring the artwork of "a standard virtually unseen in most manga produced today."<ref>{{cite web|title=JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Vol. 1 Review|url=http://www.ign.com/articles/2005/12/01/jojos-bizarre-adventure-vol-1-review|work=[[IGN]]|date=December 1, 2005|access-date=October 18, 2012|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130216015556/http://www.ign.com/articles/2005/12/01/jojos-bizarre-adventure-vol-1-review|archive-date=February 16, 2013|df=mdy-all}}</ref> ''[[Otaku USA]]''{{'}}s Joseph Luster called the series "fun as hell" and noted how the beginning is not filled with action like most ''Weekly Shōnen Jump'' series, but instead has the tension of horror and thriller films.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.otakuusamagazine.com/Manga/News1/Manga-Review-JoJos-Bizarre-Adventure-Phantom-Blood-6172.aspx|title=Manga Review: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure - Phantom Blood vol. 1|work=[[Otaku USA]]|date=January 12, 2015|access-date=November 21, 2015|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150429054447/http://www.otakuusamagazine.com/Manga/News1/Manga-Review-JoJos-Bizarre-Adventure-Phantom-Blood-6172.aspx|archive-date=April 29, 2015}}</ref> Rebecca Silverman of [[Anime News Network]] wrote that the first volume "combines a fighting story with a solid emotional background, and will absolutely put hair on your chest." She called Dio an excellent villain that the readers can enjoy hating. However, she criticized the anatomy of characters, saying "bodies are often twisted into impossible positions."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/jojo-bizarre-adventure/part-1/gn-1/.83656|title=JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Part 1 GN 1 - Review|work=[[Anime News Network]]|date=January 27, 2015|access-date=November 21, 2015|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151107075056/http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/jojo-bizarre-adventure/part-1/gn-1/.83656|archive-date=November 7, 2015|df=mdy-all}}</ref> ''Comics & Gaming Magazine''{{'}}s Cole Watson also strongly praised Dio as the highlight character of Part 1, stating that his eyes were glued to the page whenever he appeared, and described him as "the literal embodiment of Satan in manga form." Watson gave ''Phantom Blood'' a 7.5 out of 10, writing that while there is a lot to enjoy, it primarily serves as Dio's origin story and there are some moments that are "agonizingly slow".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cgmagonline.com/reviews/jojos-bizarre-adventure-part-1-phantom-blood-manga-review/|title=JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 1: Phantom Blood (Manga) Review|work=Comics & Gaming Magazine|date=May 9, 2016|access-date=September 13, 2020|archive-date=November 28, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201128165700/https://www.cgmagonline.com/reviews/jojos-bizarre-adventure-part-1-phantom-blood-manga-review/|url-status=live}}</ref>

Silverman described Part 2 as "less urgent" than Part 1, which allows for more humor and insanity, while still letting the reader get attached to the characters.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/jojo-bizarre-adventure/part-2/gn-2/.98538|title=JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Part 2 GN 2 - Review|work=[[Anime News Network]]|date=February 12, 2016|access-date=September 13, 2020|archive-date=November 29, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201129234934/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/jojo-bizarre-adventure/part-2/gn-2/.98538|url-status=live}}</ref> She felt positively about how strikingly different the protagonist Joseph is from Part 1's Jonathan.<ref name="p2v1">{{cite web|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/jojo-bizarre-adventure/part-2/gn-1/.94888|title=JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Part 2 GN 1 - Review|work=[[Anime News Network]]|date=November 4, 2015|access-date=September 13, 2020|archive-date=December 7, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201207135053/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/jojo-bizarre-adventure/part-2/gn-1/.94888|url-status=live}}</ref> However, she wrote that Araki's art had gotten even more "physically improbable", making it difficult to distinguish body parts.<ref name="p2v1" /> When discussing his views on having characters die in a series, writer [[Gen Urobuchi]] cited ''Battle Tendency''{{'}}s [[Caesar Zeppeli]] as a character who became "immortal" thanks to his death.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ultrajumpegg.com/#/column/0004/0029/02|title=脚本家 虚淵玄さんインタビュー ウルトラジャンプ本誌『ULTRA NEXT』増補版|publisher=[[Ultra Jump#History|Ultra Jump Egg]]|language=ja|trans-title=Interview with scriptwriter Gen Urobuchi - ''Ultra Jump'' 'Ultra Next' extended version|date=July 27, 2011|access-date=May 6, 2013|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130621090347/http://ultrajumpegg.com/#/column/0004/0029/02|archive-date=June 21, 2013|df=mdy-all}}</ref>

Reviewing ''Stardust Crusaders'', Silverman enjoyed seeing Part 2's Joseph team up with new protagonist Jotaro and was impressed that Araki was able to keep Dio out of Part 2 completely, only to bring him back for Part 3.<ref name="p3v1">{{cite web|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/jojo-bizarre-adventure/part-3/gn-1/.109391|title=JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Part 3 GN 1 - Review|work=[[Anime News Network]]|date=December 3, 2016|access-date=September 13, 2020|archive-date=November 24, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201124065259/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/jojo-bizarre-adventure/part-3/gn-1/.109391|url-status=live}}</ref> She initially called the replacement of Hamon with Stands both understandable and a bit of a disappointment, since the "insane physical abilities and contortions" caused by the former were a large source of the fun in the first two parts.<ref name="p3v1" /> Silverman later described Stand battles as exciting and creative in subsequent reviews.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/jojo-bizarre-adventure/part-3/gn-2/.126070|title=JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Part 3 GNs 2-3 - Review|work=[[Anime News Network]]|date=January 11, 2018|access-date=September 13, 2020|quote=...Polnareff's arc is good, battles are exciting...|archive-date=November 24, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201124065258/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/jojo-bizarre-adventure/part-3/gn-2/.126070|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/jojo-bizarre-adventure/part-3/gns-4-5/.127337|title=JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Part 3 GNs 4-5 - Review|work=[[Anime News Network]]|date=February 11, 2018|access-date=September 13, 2020|quote=Some great Stands used in creative ways...|archive-date=January 25, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210125010603/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/jojo-bizarre-adventure/part-3/gns-4-5/.127337|url-status=live}}</ref>

Anime News Network had both Silverman and Faye Hopper review the first volume of Part 4. Silverman called the beginning slower and not as instantly engrossing as the previous parts, but felt this allowed Josuke, whom she and Hopper both described as kinder than the previous protagonists, to develop as a character. Hopper stated that ''Diamond Is Unbreakable'' is sometimes criticized for a "lack of a strong narrative throughline" in comparison to other parts, but argued that this is one of its greatest strengths as it allows the main characters to "simply be, lending them an amiable humanity that none of the over-the-top archetypes in the first 3 Parts ever had."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/jojo-bizarre-adventure/part-3/gn-1/.109391|title=JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable - The Spring 2019 Manga Guide|work=[[Anime News Network]]|date=June 5, 2019|access-date=September 14, 2020|archive-date=November 24, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201124065259/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/jojo-bizarre-adventure/part-3/gn-1/.109391|url-status=live}}</ref>

Both [[Screen Rant]]'s Steven Blackburn and Jordan Richards of AIPT Comics called ''Golden Wind'' a breath of fresh air for ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'' by deviating from the basic formula and following Giorno, son of villain Dio Brando, as he looks to cement a reputation and build a criminal empire.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://screenrant.com/jojos-bizarre-adventure-golden-wind-manga-important-arc/|title=Why Golden Wind Is So Important In Jojo's Bizarre Adventure|work=[[Screen Rant]]|date=August 5, 2021|access-date=September 12, 2021|archive-date=September 12, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210912162626/https://screenrant.com/jojos-bizarre-adventure-golden-wind-manga-important-arc/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="AIPT">{{cite web|url=https://aiptcomics.com/2021/08/03/jojos-bizarre-adventure-golden-wind-vol-1-review/|title='Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Vol. 1' review|work=AIPT|date=August 3, 2021|access-date=September 12, 2021|archive-date=September 12, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210912162626/https://aiptcomics.com/2021/08/03/jojos-bizarre-adventure-golden-wind-vol-1-review/|url-status=live}}</ref> Jenni Lada of [[Siliconera]] also praised the protagonist Giorno and said the first volume of Part 5 shows how skilled Araki is at getting people quickly invested in a character and story. She wrote, by giving readers a look at Giorno's past and insights into the person he is now, it emphasizes why he is compelling; "We're introduced to his dream and see him take his first steps toward it."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.siliconera.com/jojos-bizarre-adventure-golden-wind-manga-is-refreshing/|title=JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Manga is Refreshing|work=[[Siliconera]]|date=August 29, 2021|access-date=September 12, 2021|archive-date=September 12, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210912162625/https://www.siliconera.com/jojos-bizarre-adventure-golden-wind-manga-is-refreshing/|url-status=live}}</ref> Despite calling the supporting cast a memorable bunch, Richards felt they were underdeveloped as of the first volume, but noted they had potential.<ref name="AIPT" />

Heidi Kemps, also of ''Otaku USA'', was mostly positive in her review of "Rohan at the Louvre", praising the art for being drawn in full-color by hand, although noted that readers new to ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'' might not fully understand the ending due to the one-shot only briefly explaining the ability of Rohan's Stand, Heaven's Door.<ref>{{cite web|title=Rohan at the Louvre|url=http://www.otakuusamagazine.com/Manga/News1/Rohan_at_the_Louvre_4571.aspx|publisher=[[Otaku USA]]|access-date=September 2, 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120620023228/http://www.otakuusamagazine.com/Manga/News1/Rohan_at_the_Louvre_4571.aspx|archive-date=June 20, 2012}}</ref>
