About Moriarty the Patriot manga
Ryōsuke Takeuchi and Hikaru Miyoshi's manga first debuted in Shueisha's Jump Square magazine in August 2019. Working together, Takeuchi is known for writing the story while providing storyboards, with Miyoshi illustrating the manga and providing his art to the series.
Ever since, the manga has released 75 chapters of the series in the monthly magazine. Out of these 75 chapters, up till chapter number 72, the manga has been compiled into 18 volumes, the last one having been published on August 8. The next volume is set to feature until chapter 76, acting as the final volume of the first part.
The story's protagonist is James Moriarty, the famous antagonist from Sir Arthur Conan Dyle's Sherlock Holmes series. In the manga, he was an orphan who, along with his brother, got adopted into the Moriarty family, following which he assumes the name William James Moriarty.
Like the brothers, the Moriarty family was also against the strict class stratification in England. The divisive system was hindering class mobilization. Thus, Moriarty, who was a patriot, chose to use illegal means to put a stop to it.
The manga became highly popular, after which it was given an anime adaptation by Production IG, which premiered in October 2020. The anime had a total of 24 episodes, with its first part airing in the Fall 2020 anime season, followed by the second part, which was released in the Spring 2021 anime season.
