In August 2016, Takeuchi and Miyoshi collaborated to bring the manga to life in Jump SQ. magazine. Their combined efforts, with Takeuchi’s storyboards and Miyoshi’s artistry, resulted in a captivating and one-of-a-kind storyline. The 19th compiled volume of the manga was published by Shueisha in February 2023. Viz Media has also released an English version of the series, describing it as:
The untold story of Sherlock Holmes’ greatest rival, Moriarty!
Before he was Sherlock’s rival, Moriarty fought against the unfair class caste system in London by making sure corrupt nobility got their comeuppance. But even the most well-intentioned plans can spin out of control—will Moriarty’s dream of a more just and equal world turn him into a hero…or a monster?
