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.[7] Following Pandora Hearts' conclusion, she launched The Case Study of Vanitas in Monthly Gangan Joker on December 22, 2015.[8] Like her previous series, The Case Study of Vanitas also received an anime television series adaptation, which premiered in July 2021.[9]
Mochizuki has cited Fullmetal Alchemist's author Hiromu Arakawa as her main source for inspiration. Arakawa was the reason Mochizuki chose to submit to Square Enix instead of other manga publishers.[10]
