#SocialSunday: Take A Chance: Mokumokuren

On Take A Chance posts, I’ll be showcasing authors I love to read, but who I don’t have contact with, for things such as interviews and teasers. I will be sharing their bio, some of the works I loved best, and a showcase of up to 5 books, if they have a larger back catalogue, as well as their social media links.

Mokumokuren

Mokumokuren (モクモクれん, Mokumokuren?) is the writer and illustrator of The Summer Hikaru Died (光が死んだ夏, Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu?). Mokumokuren first conceived of the series while studying for exams and later began posting drawings on Twitter, which led to the Young Ace Up editorial department approaching Mokumokuren to serialize the manga via the Young Ace Up website.

Upon release of the first volume, the series became a critical and commercial success, with the first volume selling 200,000 copies in three months, and received critical praise for story, artwork, and characters.
