MORIARTY tom 8: Waneko

Moriarty the Patriot, titled Yuukoku no Moriarty in its original Japanese publication, is a reimagining of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes universe that shifts the perspective to the antagonist, William James Moriarty. This eighth volume continues the series’ exploration of class struggle in Victorian-era England, framing Moriarty as a criminal consultant aiming to dismantle the rigid societal hierarchy. The narrative is a collaboration between writer Ryosuke Takeuchi and illustrator Hikaru Miyoshi, whose sharp, elegant character designs have been central to the franchise's success.

Since its inception in 2016, the manga series has been critically noted for its atmospheric art and its ability to weave complex moral questions into a suspenseful thriller. The volume represents the ongoing expansion of the series’ aesthetic influence, which has resonated with a global audience beyond its origins in the pages of Jump Square.
