This has to be the most interesting take I have ever read on a Sherlock Holmes character.  We get to see Moriarty not as an evil villain, but as someone who wants to make the world better and bring societies to live as one.  He uses dastardly ways to do it, but his heart is in the right place.  This is supposed to take place at the same times as Sherlock Holmes stories which would be turn of the century 1890s.  But one character uses a gun way too modern for that, even though the rest of the story does fit.  I thoroughly enjoyed this manga, and I really want to keep reading the adventures of Moriarty, just to see what he does next.  How does he come in contact with Holmes, and as he calls himself a consulting detective, what will Holmes think of Moriarty’s use of his term.  Vol. 2 can not get here soon enough.
