This is the first in a series of manga adaptations by Jay of the television series Sherlock, and this volume is a kind of faithful representation of the very first episode of the series. I love Sherlock (though I like the American series Elementary maybe just as much for rather different reasons), and it was nice to see an episode I like reproduced. I laughed aloud in a few different places. It made me immediately want to re-see the episode, and did then see it. Yes, I liked the tv version better. A nit: In the manga version, Watson and Lestrade, both blond-haired, look too similar; I didn't like that.

I don't think it adds anything to the experience of the original story by Stephen Moffatt and Mark Gatiss except maybe to slow it down a bit. To those of you that know the series, Sherlock speaks (and thus thinks) very fast, and while this is impressive, on a certain level, from the perspective of acting, it is hard to follow his line of thinking at times. It's almost as if the performance of this manic character is more the point than the details of the mystery's plot itself. The manga allows you to take your time figuring out how the mystery enfolds and is solved. But other than that, it doesn't add anything new. I still liked it, though, it's fun.

Thanks to Rod Brown for calling my attention to this series.

Achja ich liebe einfach alles rund um Sherlock. Und da ich die BBC-Serie mit Benedict Cumberbatch vergöttere musste der Manga zu ebendieser her. Cumberbatch ist für mich einfach der perfekte Sherlock 🙌🏻 ich mochte den Zeichenstil hier sehr, allerdings kam für mich Dr. John Watson (aka Martin Freeman) nicht so witzig rüber wie in der Serie, hier wirkte er etwas stumpf(sinnig), aber vielleicht wird das ja in den kommenden Bänden noch besser.
Ich kann auch nicht beurteilen ob man diesen Manga versteht, ohne die Serie zu kennen, da manchmal irgendwie nicht ganz klar war wer grade spricht.
Aber darüber hinaus fand ich "Ein Fall von Pink" sehr genial und unterhaltsam.

Me ha encantado. Totalmente fiel a la serie y plasmado todo al más mínimo detalle. Si os gusta esta serie no os podéis perder el manga. El dibujo es espectacular, sobretodo el de Sherlock, que está logradísimo y se nota que es él. Me fallaba un poquito más el dibujo de vez en cuando de Watson, pero solo en algunas viñetas, así que no me voy a quejar, porque ha sido una gozada leerlo. ¡¡¡¡¡RECOMENDADÍSIMO!!!!!

Semplicemente stupendo 😍
Se avete amato la serie della BBC con Benedict Cumberbatch e Martin Freeman, questo manga fa per voi.
I disegni riescono a rispecchiare non solo i protagonisti ma anche l'ambientazione tipica della serie.

My video review: https://youtu.be/UNswm5fBIaI

The manga adaptation for the first episode of BBC's Sherlock, is brilliant. It captures everything so well that it almost feels like you are re-watching the episode. This is both good and bad. I was amazed at how accurate the content was, but at the same time I would have liked a little more creative freedom; something different instead of just the same thing I've watched on TV over 5 times.

The art style is amazing, I would never have imagined Benadryl Cabbagepatch fitting in so well with manga. I would highly recommend this to any fan of Sherlock wanting their fix, if not just for the artwork alone.

Reseña completa: http://elcaosliterario.blogspot.com/2...

Este manga es una adaptación muy fiel a la serie de la BBC. El trabajo que han realizado es muy bueno y refleja muy bien las sensaciones que transmite y los rasgos más típicos de los personajes. Para mí ha sido toda una sorpresa ya que era la primera vez que leía un manga.

Las tramas son muy buenas y los personajes principales tienen una personalidad arrolladora. Es muy entretenido y se lee fácilmente, aunque, para los que no estamos acostumbrados a leer mangas, se nos puede hacer un poco pesada su lectura por abrirlo desde el lado izquierdo y leerlo de derecha a izquierda.

Este manga hará las delicias de los seguidores de la serie, pero al mismo tiempo, también gustará a aquellos que todavía no la hayan visto. No es necesario tener ningún tipo de referencias para leerlo.

En resumen: una adaptación muy fiel del primer capítulo de Sherlock. Imprescindible para fanáticos de la serie y del personaje. Recomendada para aquellos que, como yo, han decidido iniciarse en el mundo del manga. Seguro que no será el último.

4.5./5 Stars

So my birthday came round this week and unexpectedly my boyfriend got me this as one of my presents! I absolutely love the BBC version of Sherlock and to read this in manga form was awesome. Plus it's my first ever owned manga! XD

It genuinely made me laugh some of Sherlock's faces that were pulled and I love it when a book/manga can do that. Overall a brilliant story with awesome characters displayed in a form of art I love.

[Ophilia Adler · Rating 5 out of 5]

I actually started reading this a long time ago but kinda left it on my bookstand after 1/4. Not because its bad but because its the bbc series but in manga form. Everythibg is the same: scenes, lines etc.

This isnt a bad thing the sherlock holmes books is what go me into reading as a teen and i lived the bbc adaption of the books. This was fun and cute and i loved it.

I felt more gay tension in this manga than in the series though. Maybe it was the blishing on sherlock that made it more romantic. In a way the bbc series didnt.

If you are a sherlock fan i would highly recomend it.

Sherlock: also know as my favorite TV show ever.

It's complex and fascinating and fun and absolutely amazing. And this is basically a manga version of the show. Cut out the amazing soundtrack and those super cool transitions and you basically get this manga.

Seriously, there's pretty much no difference.

Just add a few lines of John's inner monologue here and there and you get this. I mean, if you're a Sherlock enthusiast like I am, then you can check out this book, but if you haven't seen the show yet, get on that. Or you could just use this as a cliff notes version, I guess.

[Delaney · Rating 5 out of 5]

Brought back all the good memories of the show :) . Makes me want to watch the show all over again.

The BBC Sherlock TV series is one of my favourites. So, when I bumped into these manga adaptations I couldn't help myself. I had to read them all!
They're so cute and they are well executed. The illustrations are quite beautiful and I appreciated them a lot!

Love this series

[Sarah Bookmarked · Rating 4 out of 5]

Im Endeffekt ist es die erste Folge der BBC Serie in Mangaform. Die Personen entsprechen den Schauspielern, die Szenen und Dialoge sind gleich. Da ich die Serie geschaut habe, konnte mir der Manga also nichts neues bieten. Ich hatte sogar Lust die Serie erneut zu schauen, da ich ihren Charme so sehr liebe.
Dadurch ist der Manga natürlich keinesfalls schlecht. Die Zeichnungen sind sehr gut, die Komposition der Panels unterstützt den Inhalt und die Story ist hervorragend, aber ich schaue es dann doch lieber als Serie und erfreue mich an der grandiosen Leistung der Schauspieler sowie zusätzlicher akustischer Untermalung.

I mean it's the same thing you see in the show, but I loved it XD

[Antonella Imperiali · Rating 4 out of 5]

Che strano leggere al contrario, cioè partendo dall'ultima pagina e da destra verso sinistra.
Neanche il tempo di abituarmici e il volumetto è bell'e finito...
Carino, però... molto carino, veramente.
Bei disegni, bellissimo tratto, elegante, ricco di particolari ed effetti, simpaticissima la trascrizione dei suoni, storia discreta vista anche l'ambientazione in una Londra di oggi (per fortuna non ho visto la serie TV; molto probabilmente mi sarei persa la novità...).
Soddisfatta, molto, di questa nuova esperienza.
Avanti allora con il n. 2!

[Read is wonder · Rating 5 out of 5]

El manga es la adaptación de la serie de televisión, pero es espectacular. Las ilustraciones son increíbles, clavados a los actores, y las expresiones están súper detalladas.
Las deducciones que realiza Sherlock sobre los casos y los nuevos acontecimientos hacen que te enganches más a la historia y ver cómo acaba todo. Además, capta la compenetración y el compañerismo entre Sherlock y Watson, un dúo dinámico.

Concluyo que, para los amantes del thriller y el suspense, este es el manga ideal que disfrutaréis de principio a fin.

[Hot Mess Sommelière ~ Caro · Rating 3 out of 5]

Found this in a japanese bookstore shortly before the english release was announced. I didn't even know there was a Sherlock manga adaption for the BBC series *.*
Sherlock is one of my favorie shows, and this manga tries very hard to stay true to the source material. Conversations, character design, props and gags are largely the same as in the show, which is great! I mean, look at the cover. Benedict Cumberbatch is totally visible in the manga art, and the artist deserves a lot of credit for that.
However, I wish the artist had been given just a tiny little bit more freedom, to better express the character dynamics and plot developments in the manga format.
Sherlock the manga Vol. 1 reads like a stop motion version of the series, and the series that used to be fast, dynamic and fresh on the small screen suddenly became static, a mere remake.
I'm a huge fan of manga adaptions and I love revisiting the series (be it in a re-watch or a re-read of the episode!) but in a direct comparison with the source work, the manga falls a little flat.

4 stars // read January 2022

My first manga- I didn’t realize at first that the pages were supposed to be read from right to left, oops.

I’ve never actually watched BBC’s Sherlock, so I can’t tell you how this compares. However, as a general Sherlock Holmes fan I really enjoyed the way this was adapted into a more modern setting while still retaining that essential “feel” that all the good Holmes stories have.

The art style is beautiful. I love the detail and how all the panels are laid out. Also, it’s worth mentioning that real-life Benedict C. ain’t nothing compared to his manga counterpart. XD

Content advisory:
Violence: Mild/Medium. A dead person is shown; someone is shot; mentions of suicide and taking poison. Someone writes a word in blood. Overall, though, nothing is detailed and there is very little blood.
Language: Infrequent, mild swearing (d***.)
Other: Unfortunately, there are a fair amount of LGBT+ references. A (divorced) lesbian couple is mentioned. Multiple people assume that John and Sherlock are in a relationship, and Sherlock explicitly tells John that he’s married to his work and so he isn’t interested. LGBT+ relationships are viewed in a positive light.

**Warning: this text may contain spoilers** EDITED: Karena jenuh, akhirnya aku memutuskan untuk membaca ulang komik ini. Dan WHOA! Cerita dan gambarnya jadi terasa lebih ngecling waktu dibaca ulang! Dan aku ngerasa hubungan bromance Sherlock dan Watson di sini sweet banget. Jadi penasaran serial live actionnya sendiri kaya apa ya? Haha...

***

Cuma satu yang agak aneh dari komik ini, gambar senyumannya si Benedict 2D a.ka. Sherlock yang dibuat tebal dan berbentuk "V" yang terlihat canggung. Apa senyum Benedict di dunia nyata juga kelihatan aneh gitu?

Aku nggak terlalu familiar sama karakter ini, sih. Cuma pernah baca satu novel dan itu pun langsung di Surat Terakhir (pas Moriarty udah mati). Dari novel itu sih keliatan banget kalau Sherlock orang yang sangat nyentrik. Tapi di komik ini eksplorasi karakter seorang Sherlock lebih edan lagi XD

Mungkin dia dan Watson kali ini diset sebagai pairing? Lebih dari sekedar bromance, karena ada jokes gayish yang bertebaran di sini bahkan saat mereka baru ketemu. Orang-orang ngira mereka pasangan gitu. Gubrak.

Dan entah untuk kampanye antirokok atau apa gitu, salah satu fitur Sherlock yang paling terkenal, yaitu pipa tembakau, dihilangkan di sini. Diganti dengan nikotin patch. Apa ini fungsinya masukin nikotin ke tubuh? Sama aja dong? @_@ Tapi sepertinya ada indikasi kalau Sherlock mengonsumsi obat-obatan tertentu? Entahlah. Agak ambigu. Apa mungkin semacam obat penenang, ya?

Watson sendiri karakternya sangat menarik. Nggak sekedar sidekick. Dia adalah dokter militer yang baru pulang setelah ditugaskan di Afghanistan. Kayaknya kalau di novel aslinya dia dokter umum? Eh entahlah. Di sini Watson digambarkan seolah memiliki trauma gara-gara terlibat langsung dalam situasi perang. Sampai-sampai kakinya jadi pincang dan itu karena dampak psikologis tersendiri. Padahal, bukan karena itu. Watson aslinya sangat menyukai bahaya dan perang. Dia gelisah justru karena harus kembali ke kehidupan orang sipil. Bisa dibilang dalam komik ini Watson sama gilanya dengan Sherlock. Tapi justru itu yang menarik. Tipe cowok yang kelihatan jinak di luar tapi ternyata liar di dalam hahahaha...

Entah kenapa aku lebih tertarik sama pengembangan karakternya daripada kasusnya sendiri. Soalnya buatku motif pembunuhannya acak sih. Random banget. Pelakunya psycho pula. Dan korbannya pun kayaknya asal tembak. Ga asik. Mungkin karena keasyikan develop character, jadi kasusnya sendiri nggak terlalu dimasak. Aku lebih suka tipe cerita kasus kriminal yang penjahatnya punya motif pribadi, sih. Pokoknya begitulah. Jadi ini yang dibilang cerita nggak terlalu bagus, tapi karakter bagus banget. Jadi bisa mendongkrak dan menutupi kelemahan. Oke deh.

EDITED:

Aku baru ngeh soal motif pembunuh berantai di sini. Demi anaknya. Dia sebentar lagi akan mati dan tahu tidak akan meninggalkan banyak warisan. Jadi ketika seseorang menawarkan untuk jadi sponsor pembunuhan berantainya, dia mau. Pada dasarnya nih orang memang punya bakat psikopat sih. Oke, mungkin dia memang lagi mode kepepet di sini. Tapi yang lebih gila itu ya sponsornya, yang ternyata adalah... MORIARTY!

Satu yang aku bingung. Watson nembak si supir taksi pembunuh ini di lengannya, kan? Tepatnya lengan bagian dalam, daerah ketiak dekat dada, bukan langsung ke dada. Tapi kenapa dia langsung mati? Padahal kukira ga kena jantung. Infeksi kah? Kehabisan darah kah? Atau memang itu spot yang mematikan?


Aku tunggu terjemahan volume-volume berikutnya. Semoga kali ini penerbitan dan penerjemahannya lancar dan nggak ngegantung.

Really enjoyed reading this even though I'm not a big fan of Manga art - I'd have preferred a Graphic Novel with more realistic looking features. But I didn't dislike the art this time.

When I finished this I did kind of wonder, even though I liked it, what the point was. It's so close to the TV show in most regards except medium that it doesn't offer a new perspective or anything like that. If you don't like the show but do like Sherlock Holmes in general, this probably wouldn't be a good fit.

Suka banget sama TV seriesnya. Setelah baca komik ini, aku jadi tambah ngerti apa yang dibilang Sherlock (soalnya dia ngomongnya cepat banget!)😂😂

Butuh 2 buku selanjutnya sekarang!😂

Duit mana duit😂

This was a pretty good graphic novel manga based on the first episode of Stephen Moffat's Sherlock series. If you like the TV show Sherlock, definitely check this graphic novel out. It is available at your local library and wherever books are sold.
