Moriarty the Patriot, Vol. 1 by Ryōsuke Takeuchi
4.0
Moriarty is a cut-throat anti-hero who will do whatever it takes to ensure everyone is equal.
I went into this series not knowing anything about Moriarty from the Sherlock series but at the end of the manga, there is a brief "bonus chapter" about the original character.
The plot begins describing William in his youth and how he came to be a respected noble. Born into poverty but intelligent at a young age, William and his brother Louis are taken into the Moriarty home and assume the roles of Albert Moriarty's brothers. The three brothers move around London, exacting justice for the poor with new cases.
Volume 1 of the manga features two different cases in addition to the origin story. The plot breezes through the origin story, drawing readers into 19th century London. The plot quickly moves into a case and the arc for the coming volumes. The cast of characters grows towards the end of the chapters, adding more depth to the story. A good beginning to an interesting series. I look forward to the next volume.
