Jun Mochizuki was born on December 22 in Kanagawa Prefecture. [1] After graduating from high school, Mochizuki applied for an art school, but was ultimately not accepted into the school. [2] Following this, she continued drawing and eventually submitted her work to Square Enix. [2] Her first work was a one-shot titled Pandora Hearts. Following the one-shot's publication, she launched Crimson-Shell. [2] It was serialized in Monthly GFantasy from September 2005 to February 2006. [3] [4]
Following Crimson-Shell's completion, she launched Pandora Hearts (different from the one-shot) in Monthly GFantasy on May 18, 2006. [2] [5] The series concluded in Monthly GFantasy on March 18, 2015. [6] The series did well, and received an anime television series adaptation.
