_How did you integrated the world of manga ?_
MochiJun:
I always enjoyed to draw. Since primary school to High School, I used to filling my books with drawings. Then, I tried to prepare the entrance examination for a Arts School. Unfortunately, I failed. I continued to draw alone, and I finally got the idea to show my work to Square Enix. By chance, one of the leading persons in charge noticed it. And that's how my career of mangaka began. Square Enix agreed to publish a One-shot in one of its magazines of prepublication, then a short story, and now the final result, Pandora Hearts.
_From which does your inspiration come from Lewis Carroll ?_
MochiJun:
I'm not even sure to have understood the story of "Alice in Wonderland".
(Little scene from Disney's Alice in Wonderland)
But what I particularly enjoy in this story, it's the ambivalence between apparent cheerfulness and the impression of anxiety which characterizes the universe. When I proposed the idea of Pandora Hearts to my leader, he said to me to pay great attention to not parody Alice in Wonderland. Then I paid attention not to plagiarize the book, neither to make a sequel of it, nor even going on the opposite. I'm simply inspired by images and by the atmosphere in general.
_ Did you took part to the adaptation from the manga to the anime ?_
MochiJun:
When they showed the project for the anime adaptation, my leader told me to not be implied, because this project wasn't mine. So I didn't give any concils to the staff. I just answered to their questions. I really like the anime ! Watching the serie is just like watching someone else's work, that enabled me to take retreat on my own work and to analyze it in a more objective way. About the sequel of the anime, I can't decide. Only Square Enix will be able to tell us !
_You're already popular in France whereas the manga's juste out.
How do you live this success?_
MochiJun:
It's the first time I leave my country and go to another country. As you can imagine , I was very anxious. Not only because I left my country, but also because I was going to meet foreign fans, with whom I don't speak the same language. But I was reassured to notice that French fans had the same reactions as Japanese fans.
And I was charmed to see so many cosplays of Pandora Hearts.
_Do you already know the end of Pandora Hearts ?_
MochiJun:
Yes, I know how the story is going to finish. I also know at which time the tension will be at its paroxism. But I have still many ideas to find, in particular between the two parts.
_Would you like an adaptation in video game ?_
MochiJun:
I love videogames, but I don't have time to play it now, but when I was young, I often play with my big brother. Of course, I would adore to participate to the creation of a Pandora Hearts game !
I was Mochizuki Jun, on GONG. The author of Pandora Hearts !

"How did you integrate your universe into a manga?"
I have always loved to draw. All through primary and high school I spent my time filling my sketchbooks. Then I wanted to prepare for entrance into an art school. Unfortunately that didn't work, but I still continued to draw. I finally got the idea to show my storyboards to Square Enix. By chance, members of the editorial department noticed my work, and that's how I started my career as a mangaka. Square Enix was kind enough to publish my one shot in their magazine, and the final result of that is how you see Pandora Hearts today.
"Did your inspiration come from the works of Lewis Carroll?"
To be fair, I'm not sure I understood the plot of Alice in Wonderland, but what I like in particular about the book is the ambivalence between the apparent gaiety and a sense of anxiety that characterize the universe. When I first mentioned the idea of Pandora Hearts to my editor, he told me to be very careful not to parody Alice in Wonderland. So I took care not to plagiarize the story or make it a sequel, and also not to make it the complete opposite. I'm just inspired by the images and atmosphere in general.
"Did you participate in adapting the manga to anime?"
When the adaptation to anime was proposed, my editor told me not to become too involved, as this project was not mine. I was very careful not to give advice to the team - I only answered their questions. However, I like the anime a lot. Watching the series, it was like watching someone else's work. It allowed me to sit back and analyze my work more objectively. Regarding the result of the anime, I can't say. Square Enix will have to tell you that.
"You are so popular in France that the stores are almost sold out. How do you cope with this success?"
In fact, this is the first time that I've left my country to travel abroad. As you can imagine, I was very anxious. Not just because I left my country, but also because the foreign fans that I'm going to meet on this day and I don't speak the same language. But I was reassured to see that French fans have the same reaction to the series that Japanese fans do. And I've been delighted to see so many Pandora Hearts cosplays.
"Do you already know how Pandora Hearts will end?"
Yes, I already know how Pandora Hearts will end. I also know what point the tension will be at its paroxysm. But I still find a lot of ideas, especially between the two.
"Would you like to adapt Pandora Hearts as a video game?"
I love video games, but I don't have time to play them right now. But when I was younger I played a lot with my older brother. Obviously, I would love to participate in creating a Pandora Hearts video game.
edit - AND I WAS TOO SLOW! XD;

How did you insert the universe of the manga?
I always loved to draw so much. From primary school to high school, I spent my time filling up my exercise books with drawings. Then I’d wanted to prepare the entrance examination for an art school. Unfortunately it didn’t work. I kept drawing on my side. And I finally got the idea to show my work (here: manga pages) to Square Enix. Luckily one of the people in charge of the editorial noticed them. That’s how I began my mangaka career. Square Enix has kindly accepted to publish a One Shot in one of his pre-publication magazines, then a short story, and finally the final result which is now Pandora Hearts.
From where come your inspiration for Lewis Caroll’s work?
Actually I’m not even sure to have understood the story of Alice in Wonderland. [ Extracts of Disney movie ] But what I particularly like in this book, that’s the ambivalence between the apparent joy and the feeling of anxiety which characterizes its universe. When I suggest the idea of Pandora Hearts to my editor, he told me to be very carefully not to parody “Alice in Wonderland”. So I was careful not to plagiarize the book, or to do a sequel, nor even to go just the opposite. I was just inspired by illustrations and the atmosphere in general.
Did you take part in the adaptation of the manga in anime?
When the animation project was submitted to me, my editor told me not to get involved too much, as this project isn’t mine. I was careful not to give advices to the team. I only answered their questions. Otherwise, I like the anime a lot. Watching at the series was like watching at someone else’s work. That allowed me to stand back from my work and to analyze it in a more objective way. As regards the sequel of the anime, I can’t tell you anything. Only Square Enix will be able to.
You are already popular in France while the manga is hardly published. How do you live this success?
Actually, that’s the first time I leave my country and I travel abroad. As you can imagine, I was very anxious. Not only because I leaved my country, but also because I was going to meet foreign fans with who I don’t even speak the same language. But I was relieved to notice that French fans got the same reactions than Japanese fans. And I was delighted to see so many cosplays of Pandora Hearts.
Do you already know the end of Pandora Hearts?
Yes I do. I too know when in the story the tension will be at its paroxysm. But I still have a lot of ideas to find, more particularly between both.
(Shin: Don’t kill Break, pleaaaaaase! ;o;;; )
Would you like an adaptation of Pandora Hearts in a video game?
I love video games, but I don’t really have time to play with at the moment. But when I was younger, I often played with my big brother. Of course I’d love to take part of the adaptation of Pandora Hearts in a video game.
That was Jun Mochizuki, on GONG. The author of Pandora Hearts.
