Hi JoJo Fans!

The reason for this post is to discuss, reunite and contribute in the translation of Jojo's Bizarre adventure light novels and books.

This a non-profit project. The only reason of this project is to read and gather info about the novels of the series for the wikia. We are searching for the following titles:

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Over Heaven (Japanese Only) Jorge Joestar (Japanese Only) The Book: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure 4th Another Day (Japanese Only) Hajishirazu no Purple Haze: "Purple Haze Feedback"(Japanese Only) GioGio's Bizarre Adventure 2: Golden Heart, Golden Ring(Japanese and Italian) Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: The Genesis of Universe (Japanese and Italian)

Anyone interested in helping me can do some or all of the following:

1) Search for the original material: on the web, on the house of a japanese friend,anywhere.

2) If you can read japanese or italian and want to help with the translation, you are welcome.

3) Find previous published translation in the web to continue from:

The contributions we recollected so far:
 * Kewl01210 is translating The Book on the JJBA Comunnity forums ( http://ls57tiger.freepgs.com/jojo/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5260 )

Novels Translation Progress

 * JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Over Heaven is online. I will search for a translator here, the novel is not too long. I think is a good point, to begin with.
 * I am purchasing Jorge Joestar and Hajishirazu no Purple Haze: "Purple Haze Feedback" but apparently is going to came to me next year (Early I Hope!). This two are new novels so i doubt someone uploaded it yet.
 * The Book: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure 4th Another Day is currently being translated, so i think we just can search for help for the translator.
 * GioGio's Bizarre Adventure 2: Golden Heart, Golden Ring and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: The Genesis of Universe . If an online version exist would be excellent. The other choice is searching for an italian version (Easy to translate, even me can try it :D)
