Moriarty the Patriot, Vol. 3

Moriarty the Patriot is a Japanese manga series written by Ryosuke Takeuchi and illustrated by Hikaru Miyoshi, based on the classic Sir Arthur Conan Doyle character. Volume 3 continues the reimagining of Professor James Moriarty's origins, positioning him as a criminal consultant who seeks to dismantle the rigid class system of 19th-century Britain. This entry in the series delves deeper into the intellectual rivalry between Moriarty and Sherlock Holmes, blending historical fiction with suspenseful thriller elements.

The series debuted in Shueisha’s Jump Square magazine in 2016. Miyoshi’s illustrative style is noted for its polished, atmospheric take on the Victorian era, aiming to reflect the dark, sophisticated tone of the narrative. The manga has been well-received for its unique perspective shift, framing the infamous antagonist as a tragic, heroic figure, and it has since expanded into successful anime and stage play adaptations.
