The untold story of Sherlock Holmes’ greatest rival, Moriarty!

Before he was Sherlock’s rival, Moriarty fought against the unfair class caste system in London by making sure corrupt nobility got their comeuppance. But even the best-intentioned plans can spin out of control—will Moriarty’s dream of a more just and equal world turn him into a hero…or a monster?

OH WOOOOW.

Vale, vale... Estoy DENTRO de esta locura. Por un par de cositas no le pongo cinco estrellas, pero os juro que he estado a punto. ¡Menuda maravilla!

En este tercer volumen tenemos la continuación del descubrimiento de Sherlock como personaje y el primer caso al que se enfrenta. Vemos, además, su ascenso a la fama de la mano de los famosos diarios del Doctor Watson. Pero tiene un plot twist importante que me ha hecho chillar. That's how you do it, Moriarty!

Sherlock’s been framed, the nobility sucks, and also the nobility sucks. Moriarty and crew mostly sit out the first half of their book, then come in for the second part when this series once more revels in its excesses.

Don’t get me wrong, I like a good chunk of this book and the first part is great fun. With Sherlock framed for murder, he’s on the case and up against an incredibly petulant Gregson. I mean, there’s nothing wrong with a mystery where our detective humiliates the police; it’s pract Sherlock’s been framed, the nobility sucks, and also the nobility sucks. Moriarty and crew mostly sit out the first half of their book, then come in for the second part when this series once more revels in its excesses.

Don’t get me wrong, I like a good chunk of this book and the first part is great fun. With Sherlock framed for murder, he’s on the case and up against an incredibly petulant Gregson. I mean, there’s nothing wrong with a mystery where our detective humiliates the police; it’s practically tradition.

There’s an especially good vein being mined here where Moriarty is using Sherlock to his own ends and expects him to solve the case. That’s a clever way to hold on to the canon while also making the series lead sharper than his inspiration.

Moriarty remains very much a background figure for this part, but the book keeps him lingering in the background as the mastermind, as it should be. They also mess around with the idea of the Holmes stories being written by Watson and having him invent the traditional hat and pipe accoutrement to gussy up the coarser version of the character we get here (whose accent does not translate all that well).

Then the next story arc begins and I once more roll my eyes at the ridiculous nature of the vile appetites of the nobility in this story. There’s nothing this book apparently won’t hit for shock value, so hold tight for eye gouging, tendon severing, and, yes, even worse.

It’s all a little much and while we haven’t seen the end of the arc, I don’t think, it’s a bit of a letdown to have such a famous Holmes story used as inspiration for such a try-hard bit of schlock. The reasoning behind this doesn’t make any sense in context - it’s hard to envision a version of this where it would actually be sporting to do what the nobles do, so why it interests them at all I cannot fathom.

I will say that Moran is turning into a real stalwart and I like his position in the gang and the way he knows quite a bit, even for being largely there as muscle. When he gets a somewhat cool line, I loved the way they bagged on him during the gag manga.

An okay volume. I like this series more than I love it. I get why it wants to hammer home how much the nobility deserve comeuppance, but there’s villainy and there’s outright depravity and this series isn’t good about easing off the latter when trying to illustrate the former. ...more

Duh, bener-bener deh! Suka liat Moran yang mendampingi dan membimbing Fred. Uuuh... Macem om dan ponakan /gakgituwoi

Asik ya, tim Moriarty tuh "paket lengkap". Ada bos yang super cerdas dan idealis, William. Ada adik tukang galau yang brocom, Louis. Ada pejantan alfa tukang main cewek, tapi sebetulnya dewasa, bisa membimbing dan mengenali tiap orang dengan baik, Moran. Ada tipe dedek pendiem yang setia dan penurut kayak guguk yang minta disayang dan bikin naluri keibuan si Gie muncul, Fred.
Dan yang paling penting: ada abang baik hati, bijaksana, mengayomi, dewasa, sopan dan santun, bersuara lembut, ganteng, loyal, gentleman, sungguh pria sejati yang tiada duanya, kalo-bisa-ingin-si-Gie-nikahi, makhluk paling sempurna di dunia kisah Moriarty, dan gak-akan-habis-si-Gie-memuja-muji, Bang Albert <333
Si Gie jadi gak sabar ketemu anggota Moriarty yang lainnya nanti, masih ada Bond dan Herder kan? Fufu~

Oh! Oh! Mengesampingkan soal ceritanya sendiri, si Gie ada keluhan(?) soal terjemahan dan editan!
Di jilid 3 ini berasa banget terjemahannya terkesan "raw", mentah. Bahan utamanya udah enak banget sebetulnya, tapi kurang dimatengin dan dibumbui, gitu. Terjemahannya asik, sikap ngeyel dan tengil Sherlock tersampaikan banget! Kalau si Gie yang nerjemahin belum tentu bisa ngeluarin sisi Sheelock yang sengeyel dan setengil itu!
Masalahnya! Saking "mentah"-nya jadi terkadang terasa lagi baca dalam bahasa jepangnya alih-alih indonesia. Apa ya? Kebayang kalimatnya dalam bahasa jepang, gitu. Makanya saya bilang terjemahannya terkesan "mentah". Bukannya gak bagus lho ya. "Mentah" aja. Mestinya editor bisa mengolahnya dengan lebih baik supaya lebih nikmat saat disajikan. Sayang, tampaknya editor kurang optimal mengolah terjemahannya.

Apa sih Gie, ngoceh mulu! Ya maap!
Mari, lanjut ke jilid 4! Sampulnya John! ...more

seruuuuu banget, dihubungin sama Study in Scarlet dan nyambung. ntah ya apa emang ada hubungannya, karena kalau baca yg versi Conan Doyle ga terlalu suka kalau bahas Moriarty wqwqwqwqwq. Holmes nya astagaaa hahahahahah gemay!

kasus kedua banyak trigger warning, nih, soalnya adegan gore nya ga disensor, which is good tapi karna korbannya anakanak jadi ngilu sendiri.

part antara William dan Louise ini selaluuuu aja menyentuh, lovely.

Cuando decía en reseñas anteriores que este manga tenia pinta de que iba a mejorar tomo a tomo, no me imaginaba que tuviera tanta razón. Este volumen me ha encantado, y me ha tenido pegada todo el rato. Los arcos son muy diferentes entre si, y toda la trama de misterios y acción se ha llevado muy bien, y está vez nada me ha chirriado.

Continuando con el anterior volumen, nos adentramos en la versión que esta historia nos ofrece de “Estudio en Escarlata”, esa primera novela en la que Conan Doyle Cuando decía en reseñas anteriores que este manga tenia pinta de que iba a mejorar tomo a tomo, no me imaginaba que tuviera tanta razón. Este volumen me ha encantado, y me ha tenido pegada todo el rato. Los arcos son muy diferentes entre si, y toda la trama de misterios y acción se ha llevado muy bien, y está vez nada me ha chirriado.

Continuando con el anterior volumen, nos adentramos en la versión que esta historia nos ofrece de “Estudio en Escarlata”, esa primera novela en la que Conan Doyle nos presentaba a su creación más famosa. Sherlock ha sido culpado de un asesinato que no ha cometido y que debe resolver para probar su inocencia. Y porque es Sherlock Holmes y resolver crímenes es lo que le puede. Por supuesto, contara para ello con la ayuda del Doctor Watson, por lo que el arco es la oportunidad para ver asentarse su relación y la dinámica que hay entre los dos y que conocíamos por primera vez en el anterior tomo. Y me gusta comp se está llevando. Dentro de la admiración que siente por sus dotes detectivescas, Watson no se deja avasallar por la personalidad de Holmes, tiene su propio carácter y sabe como ser la voz de la conciencia y el sentido común para su amigo. Y ese es un papel que no siempre se le reconoce algún lector en las múltiples versiones de la historia.

Como ya he dicho antes, en esta versión de “Estudio en Escarlata” todo está muy bien llevado, podemos ver las celebrinas dotes detectivescas de Sherlock en todo su esplendor, y el crimen te tiene en vilo incluso cuando ya se ha resuelto, tan bien llevado está todo. Pero lo más destacable para la historia creo que es el final. Aquí se ve claramente cuál va a ser uno de los puntos más importantes en torno al cual pivotar a todo el argumento: el duelo intelectual entre Moriarty y Holmes, como son las dos caras de una misma moneda, y como sus personalidades y forma de actuar se contraponen, siendo tan parecidas como diferentes. Eso es algo vital para todo el lore sherlockiano, y que tengo muchas ganas de ver como se desarrolla en esta historia.

Los dos últimos capítulos del volumen son una historia que se basa en otra de las novelas de Conan Doyle “El Sabueso de los Baskervilles”. Unos nobles se divierten cazando y torturando niños, dándonos unas escenas iniciales muy duras y gores, difíciles de digerir y que te ponen los pelos de punta. Pero, a mi modo de ver, lo más destacable de este arco no es su argumento, sino como evoluciona el grupo de William en general. Vemos nítidamente los roles que cada uno de sus miembros tiene dentro del equipo, como trabajan juntos, y como sus personalidades se perfilan para el lector, especialmente las de Fred (es amor) y Lewis (uno de los personajes más complejos), y la adhesión de ellos a William y su causa. Ademas, conocemos con más profundidad las relaciones que hay entre los miembros del grupo, destacando el vínculo entre los dos hermanos, William y Lewis. Y, por ultimo, empezamos a intuir el misterio que oculta el pasado del Coronel Moran. Creo que todo esto era muy necesario para dar solidez a los personajes, y que solo puede beneficiar al conjunto de la historia en general.

En definitiva, el mejor volumen hasta la fecha de este manga, lo he disfrutado de principio a fin por muchos motivos. La historia está empezando a coger tono y me está gustando lo que leo. ...more

👍 Der dritte Band startet vielversprechend. Sherlock Holmes steht mit dem Rücken zur Wand und muss Scotland Yard beweisen, dass er den Baron nicht ermordet hat. Die clevere Kombinationsgabe, die man mit dem Charakter Sherlock Holmes verbindet, ist auch hier präsent. Es macht Spaß mitzuverfolgen, wie er eine scheinbar völlig aus der Luft gegriffene Schlussfolgerung mit stichhaltigen Beweisen belegt.

I think Moriarty the Patriot is becoming my favourite new Manga series. From all the new stories I’ve been reading this last year this series is at the top. By this point if you haven’t read the first two books, I think you’ll be lost so I would recommend starting back at Vol.1.

OK, I'm officially lost within the series and have lost interest in continuing with it. I could only get a third of the way through this and I just can't bring myself to continue. There is just too much talking and nothing is actually happening. I've been having trouble keeping track of what exactly the point of the story is and I am just not invested anymore.

Tapi, kayaknya gue sering deh baca cerita bertema Inggris jaman baheula begini tapi kasusnya penculikan anak terus disiksa. Kayak Kuroshitsuji juga kan ada tuh chapter kesekian yang temanya mirip-mirip.
