A THREAD ABT MOCHIJUN BECAUSE I THINK YOU SHOULD READ HER MANGA @ TWST MUTUALS

hi mochijun is my favorite manga author I think she is very Cool. now who is she.

Jun Mochizuki (望月 淳, Mochizuki Jun, born December 22 in Kanagawa Prefecture) is a female Japanese manga artist best known for creating the manga series Pandora Hearts. Go read that.

mochijun has 3 works of her own so far,

her debut: a one-shot called crimson shell (one volume, 6 chapters, complete)
her first series: pandora hearts (24 volumes, 104 chapters, complete)
her current series: the case study of vanitas (8 volumes, 47 chapters, ongoing)

Crimson-Shell (クリムゾン·シェル - Kurimuzon-Sheru) is a one-shot manga created and illustrated by Jun Mochizuki. Crimson-Shell was published monthly in GFantasy by Square Enix in 2005. Being a one-shot it has only one volume that includes six chapters in total.

Yen Press released the English language version of Crimson-Shell. There is no anime adaption or OVA and there doesn't seem that there will be one in the future.

PLOT:

Rescued from the darkness by Xeno, a mysterious swordsman, Claudia the Rose Witch is the foundation of the Crimson-Shell, a special division of the Red Rose - an organization aiming to capture the results of one mad scientist's experiments, the deadly Black Roses. +

But when Xeno's loyalties are called into question, will Claudia be strong enough to believe in her dearest friend? And what is the color of the rose blooming in Xeno's heart - a deep, passiont crimson . . . or a traitorous jet-black?

this one-shot is legitimately fucking bonkers but it’s such a perfect introduction to what kind of author mochijun is.

Pandora Hearts (パンドラハーツPandora Hātsu ?) is a manga series by Jun Mochizuki. It began serialization in the shōnen magazine GFantasy published by Square Enix in June 2006 and completed its run in April 2015 with a total of 104 chapters collected in twenty-four volumes. +

The manga series was licensed for an English language release by Broccoli Books but was later dropped and later licensed by Yen Press. An anime was produced by Xebec in 2009 and ran for twenty-five episodes. +

On February 11, 2010, NIS America announced that it would release the anime of Pandora Hearts in North America. The series also had 9 OVA's (3 minute per episode), which aired from July 24, 2009 to March 25, 2010.

PLOT:

Oz Vessalius, one of the Heirs of the Four Dukedoms, has just turned fifteen. His life is rich and carefree, darkened only by the constant absence of his father. At his coming-of-age ceremony, however, everything changes. +

For no reason that he can discern, he is cast into the prison known as the "Abyss," only to be saved by a "chain" known as Alice, the Bloodstained Black Rabbit or B-Rabbit for short. +

The mystery begins there as Oz unravels the mystery behind Alice, the Abyss and the strange organization known as Pandora. +

The series features heavy references to Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass and can be considered both fantasy and mystery.

This one is also fucking bonkers but legitimately perhaps the greatest thing I’ve read. 100% my all time favorite piece of media ever it is so fucking good and so fucking insane.

Note: you will be fucking confused when you first read it. Don’t worry, we’ve all been there. But know that literally everyone who has completed it fucking agrees that it’s fucking amazing and a wonderful read.

The Case Study of Vanitas is the third main series by mangaka Jun Mochizuki following her completion of both Crimson-Shell and Pandora Hearts. The series launched on December 22nd 2015 and is being published monthly in Gangan Joker magazine.

Later the series has been licensed for an English language by Yen Press. In Indonesia, the series has been licensed by Elex Media Komputindo.

On April 2, 2020, Jun Mochizuki announced that the manga will be going on indefinite hiatus due to the C*VID-19 p*ndemic. (FUN FACT: WE ARE BACK BABY !!!! CHAPTER 47 IS FINALLY HERE AFTER 4 OR SO MONTHS).

PLOT:

During a blimp ride to Paris, Noé Archiviste meets Vanitas: a human claiming to be a doctor for vampires, curing them of the malnomen which cause vampires to behave predatorily against their will. +

The book with which he heals, the Book of Vanitas, is connected to the original Vanitas, the Vampire of the Blue Moon, hated by the Vampires of the Red Moon who form traditional Vampire society. +

Noé and Vanitas join forces to heal vampires, but there lurks a threat of some unknown force named Charlatan which may be responsible for corrupting the sick vampires.

This series is very fucking sexy read it or else.

The fandom’s population is very small, we are an oppressed minority /j. So likely speaking, your mutuals will all likely know each other. They also fucking come into anyone’s live threads to point and laugh as they watch them SUFFER. Knowing that they have dragged another +

Poor unfortunate soul into hell. /j
