Jojo's Bizarre Adventure novelization

In 2000, it was announced that Otsu-ichi would be writing a novel set during the fourth arc of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. The novel proved difficult to complete; in Kono Mystery ga Sugoi 2004, Otsu-ichi claimed to have written over 2000 pages, but thrown them all out. Intent on writing a novel that lived up to the manga, it took him until 2007 to complete it.
