“Moriarty the Patriot’s” Upcoming Manga: Another Perspective on Sherlock Holmes
Takeuchi and Miyoshi’s Moriarty the Patriot manga ended its first part with the “Valley of Fellows” arc, named after Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s fourth and final Sherlock Holmes novel. The duo first debuted the manga in Shueisha’s Jump SQ magazine in August 2016. Takeuchi draws the storyboard, and Myoshi provides the art. Shueisha published the manga’s 18th compiled book volume on August 4th. Now, Viz Media is releasing the manga in English.
The story of the franchise revolves around James Moriarty, the famous antagonist from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes. In the manga, he is an orphan who assumes the name of William James Moriarty when he and his younger brother are adopted into the Moriarty family. As a young man, he seeks to remove the ills caused by England’s strict class system.
The manga then inspired a television anime that premiered in October 2020, with the second half running in April 2021. The show had a total of 24 episodes. Currently, Funimation streamed the anime as it aired in Japan and also streamed an English dub.
Moriarty the Patriot: The Remains will launch in the magazine’s April 2023 issue on Mach 3rd. The Moriarty the Patriot anime is available to stream on Netflix and Funimation.
