MORIARTY 19: Waneko

Moriarty the Patriot is a manga series written by Ryosuke Takeuchi and illustrated by Hikaru Miyoshi, serving as a dark reimagining of the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle universe. The story centers on William James Moriarty and his brothers, framing the iconic antagonist not as a villain, but as a revolutionary seeking to dismantle the rigid class system of late 19th-century Britain. Volume 19 represents a late chapter in this long-running narrative, published by Shueisha in Japan and licensed by Waneko for the Polish market.

The artistic direction by Hikaru Miyoshi leans into a sleek, gothic aesthetic that emphasizes the Victorian setting while maintaining the sharp, expressive character designs typical of modern shonen manga. The series has been well-received for its complex moral ambiguity and the creative subversion of classic literary tropes. As part of the Waneko release, this volume maintains the high production standards expected of the publisher, serving as a key installment in the localization of this successful adaptation for Polish-speaking readers.
