The November issue of Gangan Joker, to be released on October 22, will announce that mangaka Jun Mochizuki will create a new series for the magazine. Titled Vanitas no Carte (Records of Vanitas), the series will contain themes of vampires and steampunk and will be set in 19th century Paris. The series will debut in Gangan Joker's January issue on December 22.

Mochizuki is known for Pandora Hearts, which was serialized in GFantasy between 2006 and 2015. The 24th and final volume of that series ranked 18th in Oricon's Manga Rankings on its first week, selling 45,608 copies. Yen Press licensed the manga in 2009, and it ranked in The New York Times best seller list for the first time in June 2012 in third place.

Do try reading it even if you're already spoil-ed. It has enough plot twists that not even spoilers can beat, lol, you won't be disappointed ^^

I really need to finish Pandora Hearts (Or more like just need to buy the rest of the English release manga books...cause I have 1-9, but have only read 1-6 or 7 if I remember correctly XD) cause I was really liking it. Will also for sure read this manga, I like the artwork she does and stories.

I'm still reeling over PH ending, but I'm glad MochiJun is back at it already. Looking forward to this, even if its bishie level is higher than PH.

Maybe this will help us get that PH reboot MAL's top 10 has been needing.

Maybe you'll develop better reading comprehension skills? The story was perfectly clear if you're actually capable of thinking about things.

Its hard when you read it over a longer span because of many connections made to really earlier volumes. But I think when you read it really fast there is no problem.

I need to go finish those last few chapters of Pandora Hearts that I've been avoiding so much. But really happy to hear that Mochijun is starting a new series! 19th century Paris huh, that's certainly not a common setting. Steampunk is awesome too.

The original wasnt that bad, the problem it had was that the last 5 episodes didnt followed the manga and were very boring but still PH needs a second season or new version.

Read manga first. The anime doesn't really follow the manga towards the end and stops abruptly.

I read "Pandora Heart" & "New Series" and instantly thought it was a reboot of the anime.

Well this is nice too.

YES YES YES! I've been waiting for more information on her new series for months.

I don't know if I like the vampire aspect, but I have faith in Mochizuki-sensei.
Also, it's going to be amazing to see an entire series with her godly art style. Pandora Hearts started off okay, but the art became so much better as the chapters went on. By the end, it was absolutely gorgeous. I am so excited (the steampunk will be so cool)!! This is going to be beautiful!

Bring on the plot twists, tragic characters, and incredible art

Can't wait for this. Pandora Hearts is the best manga I've ever read. If this new series is only half as good, it will still be pretty cool.

Yessss a new series! Can't wait until it comes out. Vampires and steampunk, i'm up for this.

Missing pandora hearts, but this is still good. Hopefully a remake of the anime will happen sometime, and not one by Xebec...Xebec Zwei is okay, just not Xebec
