Moriarty the Patriot, Vol. 1 by Ryōsuke Takeuchi
4.0

I am once again reading this cos of the anime!!!! I have finished it just yesterday, and I couldn't resist reading the manga. Even though they are some inconsistencies with the former I still love them the same (some scenes in the anime were added, and others got deleted.).

I know must people are familiar with The Sherlock Holmes series, and the tv show. I have read some of those, and absolutely enjoyed its adaptation. Considering that they have a homosexual undertone I shipped Sherlock and Watson, obviously, and truly despised Moriarty. BUT THAT WAS IN THE PAST! I am team Liam and Sherlock, now, thanks to this manga.

I love that this adaptation is different. It's interesting to see the plot revolving around a villain for once, and tbh, Moriarty feels more like a morally grey character (Ik Ik I'm delulu for thinking so.). I do find him intriguing and appealing. His persona and aura are just way too charismatic for his own good. He's also a 21 years blond professor. He kinda reminds me of Lestat, the LOML!!!! so yeah, I totally dig him.

As for Sherlock, HOW ALLOWED HIM TO BE THAT ATTRACTIVE??? Can't wait to see more of him and his witty, arrogant self. I can not wait for them to bond together, and hopefully, we get more than that!!!
