Moriarty the Patriot, Vol. 1 by Ryōsuke Takeuchi
3.0
I'll be honest, I started this one, disliked the opening chapters so much I set it aside, lost it and found it several months later cleaning up the bookshelves. It got a little better but hovered around a 2.5 for me. It's not a bad idea, reimagining Moriarty as a defender of the lower classes but the story is over the top violent and self righteous.
Moriarty is taken in by a family in the upper class in Victorian England and after being badly abused by them and seeing how servants and people in the lower class are treated by this one family, decides all wealthy people are like this and sets out to destroy them all. To be fair, the one wealthy dude we see him become judge jury and executioner for pretty much does deserve his fate, I can't imagine being interested in this one-note plot for long. I know this is an extremely popular manga/anime but it's not for me. The art is top notch though.
