Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan: At a Confessional

Thus Spoke Rohan Kishibe (Japanese: 岸辺露伴は動かない, Hepburn: Kishibe Rohan wa Ugokanai; lit. 'Rohan Kishibe Does Not Move'), is a series of manga one-shots created by Hirohiko Araki. It is a spin-off from Diamond Is Unbreakable, the fourth part of Araki's JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, and features the character Rohan Kishibe, a manga artist who travels around the world to get inspiration from people's lives. The English title of the series is a reference to the book Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Friedrich Nietzsche. The series is published by Shueisha, starting with the one-shot "Episode 16: At a Confessional" in 1997 in their Weekly Shōnen Jump; new episodes have since appeared in their Jump Square, Shōnen Jump+, Bessatsu Margaret, JoJo Magazine, and Ultra Jump magazines. The series was originally meant to be completely original, but it was changed as Araki found it too tempting to use Rohan. The first collected volume was released in 2013. The first volume was the 68th best-selling manga volume of 2014 in Japan and was well received by critics. Spin-off short stories by several writers were published from 2017 to 2024. Original video animation (OVA) adaptations were released by David Production from 2017 to 2020. A live-action adaptation premiered on NHK General TV in 2020.
