Jun-Cat, Jun Mochizuki's self insert.

Jun Mochizuki (望月 (もちづき) (じゅん) , Mochizuki Jun), frequently shortened to "MochiJun" by Western fans, is a Japanese manga artist who began her professional career as a student. She is best known for the manga series Pandora Hearts which ran in GFantasy from 2006 to 2015, and the ongoing Gangan Joker manga series The Case Study of Vanitas. She is also the author of the one-shot manga Crimson-Shell, and illustrator of the Rolan the Forgotten King (忘却 (ぼうきゃく) 覇王 (はおう) ロラン, Boukyaku no Haou Rolan) and Caucus Race novels.

In Japan, Pandora Hearts and The Case Study of Vanitas have been marketed in combination as "PanVani" (パンヴァニ, PanVani) to reflect the overlap in community for each.

Crimson-Shell[]

Crimson-Shell (クリムゾン·シェル) Jun Mochizuki's first published work, being published on a monthly basis in GFantasy by Square Enix in 2005. Due to its nature as a one-shot, Crimson-Shell never surpassed 6 chapters - though its only volume has since been published in English by Yen Press - and it lacks an anime and OVA adaptation as of yet as a result.

Pandora Hearts[]

Pandora Hearts (パンドラハーツ, PandoraHearts) is the first major series to be written by Jun Mochizuki, beginning publication in 2006. It ran in Square Enix shounen magazine GFantasy (alongside titles such as Black Butler and Durarara!!) for about nine years before ending in 2015. In 2009, it received an anime adaptation directed by Studio XEBEC. It was primarily a supernatural mystery series with dark fantasy elements, drawing on Gothic literature and Western fairy tales as a motif.

Considered a critical success (though never attaining wide reaching commercial popularity), Pandora Hearts was praised for its complex plot, strong character writing, and frequent subversion of the shounen genre. It received praise from such figures as Hiromu Arakawa, author of Fullmetal Alchemist.

The Case Study of Vanitas[]

The Case Study of Vanitas (ヴァニタスの手記 (カルテ) , Vanitas no Carte) is the second major series written by Jun Mochizuki, beginning publication almost immediately after Pandora Hearts's conclusion. It has been published in Square Enix shounen magazine Gangan Joker (alongside titles like Kakegurui and Akame ga Kill!) since its initial release. In 2021, an anime adaptation was announced for that summer, directed by Studio Bones. It is primarily an action-adventure series with steampunk and dark fantasy elements, drawing on Gothic literature and Western fairy tales as a motif.
