Moriarty the Patriot 13: Die spannenden Kriminalfälle von Sherlock Holmes' größtem Gegenspieler

Moriarty the Patriot, known in Japan as Yuukoku no Moriarty, is a manga series written by Ryosuke Takeuchi and illustrated by Hikaru Miyoshi. Published by Shueisha, the series reinterprets Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes canon by shifting the perspective to William James Moriarty, framing him as a complex anti-hero working to dismantle the rigid class structure of late 19th-century Britain. This specific volume, the thirteenth installment, continues the intricate narrative arcs that have defined the series' blend of historical drama and crime fiction.

The German release, localized by Carlsen Manga, adheres to the aesthetic and narrative direction set by the original Japanese edition. Hikaru Miyoshi’s artistic style is noted for its clean, sharp lines and evocative character designs that modernize the Victorian setting while maintaining a gothic atmosphere. Upon its release, the series garnered a dedicated following for its cerebral approach to the cat-and-mouse dynamic between Holmes and Moriarty, finding success both in its domestic market and internationally through these translated volumes.
