憂国のモリアーティ [Yūkoku no Moriarty] #7
Moriarty, Tome 7
Deux frères orphelins sont accueillis dans la famille Moriarty, grâce aux ambitions cachées du fils aîné Moriarty, Albert. Ce dernier abhorre l'aristocratie à laquelle il appartient et le système social qui régit la société britannique. Albert a vu en l'aîné l'intelligence et le charisme dont il avait besoin pour accomplir son rêve de nettoyer la société de ces "êtres inutiles et sales". Albert propose de leur offrir sa richesse et son influence à condition que les garçons mettent leur intelligence au service de son rêve. 13 ans plus tard, à côté de leurs activités officielles, les frères Moriarty sont devenus des "conseillers privés". Avec William à leur tête, ils aident les gens du peuple, victimes d'injustices, à se venger des riches qui les ont fait souffrir. Leur sanction est impitoyable, car la punition qu'ils infligent n'est autre que...la mort !

They really did include a Professor Moriarty and delinquent student Holmes extra chapter. That's just creating prompts for fanfiction aus, PLEASE CONTINUE ~

This was a good volume! The four servants chapter was excellent, I like seeing Bond joining the team and making friends, I'm sure he and Moran will be good buddies.
Heck yes trans James Bond, the only James Bond I like.
However, the Whitechapel mystery failed to engage me. I prefer when the Moriarty do the crime, not solve it (even when solving the crime involes doing more crime, it's stil less fun).

Sekarang ada Jack The Ripper muncul di sini. Ini dibikin kejadian asli tapi palsu. Gimana sih maksudnya, wkwk. Ya gitulah, wkwkwk.
Pokoknya di sini balik lagi fokus ke Moriaarty dan rencana-rencana jitunya. Tapi ini menarik sih sama strateginya. Dan aku berharap, musuh yang diitemin itu bisa nyaingin keluarga Moriarty lah yaaa, wkwkwk

The more I read this series, the more I want a story where Sherlock Holmes goes up against L. T. Meade's character Madame Sara, The Sorceress of the Strand. I'll probably have to write it myself.

Heee, this was an awesome volume! The series has been constantly good but of course some bits are even more to my liking than others, and this was great throughout. And everything looks great of course, I really like Miyoshi's style.
First there's a chapter of getting Adler, now known as Mr. Bond, integrated properly to Moriarty's company. It provides a change of pace between the bigger schemes but is also neatly tied into the next arc. There's some comedy provided by Moran, who's really cool when he's cool (c'mon, look at the cover of this volume!) but then he turns into the fool when a scene requires it. I like him though, everybody else is cool as cucumber (and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that either, I like them all), so his brashness livens up the show.
Anyway, I quite like this twist with Adler!
And then the series takes on the much retold story of Jack the Ripper and gives it its own spin. As with Sherlock Holmes retellings, I like the Ripper variations, so it's double the interest when these are combined. Moriarty the Patriot of course adds the class inequality into the mix, as it's the big theme of the manga. There's also a new character in form of Moriarty brothers' old teacher, which, to be honest, didn't seem essential to the story but he might do something crucial in the future. I didn't mind his addition but his role could've been performed by already established characters too.
The whole action portion is exciting, and Moran and Bond are quite superpeople without actual powers (I mean... the coin trick!) and that's pure action movie type of fun. Random thought btw, I remember seeing only a few left-handed people in manga/anime, so it's cool that Moran is left-handed.
Volume ends with cliffhanger, of course, so gotta wait for the conclusion 'til next time. Moriarty & co. had another cunning plan which was surely entertaining. But how Sherlock will play into this...? Can't wait!

In this volume we get another new addition to the Moriary crew, Jack the Ripper, along with another crime set up aid in the tension between the Vigilance committee and Scotland Yard.
Very political, which I usually enjoy but for some reason found a little dull. Still looking forward to the next volume!

I complained about this premise quite a bit, but the last 1/4 of this volume brings home why this series works well when it's on it's game. The concept of Jack The Ripper is introduced and I rolled my eyes super hard, I don't need the series to keep grabbing names we know. There is plenty of ground to cover with just Holmes and Moriarty, but that's not the way the author is telling this story. I'm mildly disappointed in that, but BUT the action and intrigue for the over-arching plot has held up. At the end of the day they are still trying to make society better and sticking to that core principle. This ends on a cliff hanger (shocking I know) that really does leave a lot of questions hanging. I am glad that the Ripper of it all was mostly misdirection, but I'm curious as to the literally shadowy figure introduced as there is a new player in the game who seemingly will bring big implications to the next "chapter" in the story.

Ripper Strikes in Whitechapel!
Reading Moriarty the Patriot is a lot like taking a stroll through a butcher shop. There’s a ton of baloney on display, no shortage of ham, and, yeah, it happens to be a total sausage fest (I think I used this before to describe this very series, but you try writing 400 reviews a year and see how repetitive you get…)
Which isn’t inherently bad, but tonally this series has always taken some weird swings between goofy and overly serious that didn’t always work. So for the story to really stitch these elements together during a Jack the Ripper storyline, of all things, seems about right for what one should expect.
And, believe me, if you thought Alan Moore’s From Hell took the Ripper killings in a whole other direction, you can rest assured that this is just a step below that and (arguably) much more ludicrous. I’m coming to the point with these books where I honestly wouldn’t have it any other way.
Part of the reason I’m not as hard on this is that the series finally dialled back on the hard leans into depravity that was the hallmark of earlier stories about torture and hunting people for sport and such.
This, instead, turns into a rather sedate communist plot, of all things, and, yes, a story based around the slaying of sex workers who were, in fact, eviscerated is treated with a far more subtle touch (and is thankfully really accepting of said workers) and doesn’t just go for gruesome viscera everywhere.
Now, we also have to discuss the first story, where Irene Adler joins the team as James Bonde, says he’ll be living as a man from now on, and somehow manages to be more progressive than the Texas legislature, despite being set in the 19th century. The fact that Ian Fleming would turn over in his grave at this is just a bonus.
Of course, Bonde just has short hair and a binder, but the wholesale acceptance of everybody on the team, save Moran, who gets a really amusing drubbing in the role of That Guy for large parts of Bonde’s introduction, is utterly refreshing.
This turns out to be a goofy bank robbery story that goes wrong and ends up tangentially leading to the Ripper arc that fills out the rest of the story, while also giving Bonde a chance to both learn and show off, which is a solid choice for the character. It’s
The Ripper stuff is utterly silly, loosely adapting the case as so many other things have been mere launching pads to whatever the mangaka is dreaming up. Still, there’s a ridiculous chase sequence that gives literally everybody something to do, no mean feat, but also features some hilarious ‘only in manga’ gunplay.
And we even get a little aside where Scotland Yard clearly sucks, so Lestrade tries to bring Sherlock into things, which he seems to be on board for, although he sure hasn’t made himself known by volume’s end.
At first, Lestrade’s way of dragging Sherlock into the case seems particular juvenile, but it actually serves as a fairly amusing reminder that Holmes basically is a giant child who needs his interest arrested in a particular way.
Some of this is okay, I don’t love the whole explanation for the Ripper name and the plot itself is resolved successfully in ludicrously ‘the plot wills it’ fashion, even if the resultant chase has some of the most fun of the whole volume. Still, this works for me overall.
4 stars - calling this a good book might be stretching my definition, but it IS fun and I had a really enjoyable time reading it, without some of my usual provisos for this series as a whole, so I’ll take the win there.

Me gusta mucho cómo han hecho que encaje Irene Adler en la banda de Moriarty. Y el personaje de Moran me gusta muchísimo.
El giro al tema de Jack el Destripador ha sido interesante, lástima que no acabe en este tomo, porque como los sacan con cuentagotas, para el siguiente se me habrán olvidado los detalles😩.

4.5/5 Stars: ‘Moriarty the Patriot’ (Book #7 of ‘Moriarty the Patriot’) by Ryōsuke Takeuchi.
→ Age Range: Young Adult.
→ Genre: Mystery, Historical Fiction.
→ Book Type: Manga.
Favourite Quote: ‘The powerful taking advantage of and murdering the powerless is unforgivable.’
In-depth Rating:
→ Plot: ★★★★★
→ Character Development: ★★★★★
→ Setting: ★★★★★
→ Entertainment Level: ★★★★★
→ Writing: ★★★★★
General Comments: The Seventh Volume in the Moriarty the Patriot Series. It does a wonderful job with its nods to other figures in Classical Literature and Real-Life History: enter ‘Jack the Ripper’. There’s a great balance between staying true to the murderers timeline, and going camp - of course, there is a level of ridiculousness on display, but is nevertheless entertaining and enjoyable. The new twists to the formula adds a fresh take, while staying true-to-form.

3.5/5
Finally, we have a nice action-packed volume!
In this one the famous killer Jack, The Reaper, is killing women in a low-life part of the city, raising questions among politicians and people who are begging for an excuse to fight against each other.
William and his team have to use their unusual abilities to complete another mission: one in which they’ll attract both sides (the police and the angry civilians) without getting killed and clean the name of the one who is actually nicknamed “the Reaper”, William’s teacher.
Also we have Mr. Moran bonding with the current Mr. James Bond, who was Mrs. Idler in the previous volumes. I like that in William’s team we have nothing but competent people who think outside the box! It’s quite entertaining to see them in action rather than just them planning and scheming. I’m glad I picked up the series ‘cause I was about to drop it.
Now I’m intrigued of what will happen with the copycat Jack the Reaper, William’s team and the current government.

In Chapter 24 [The Adventure of Four Servants], it’s more focused on Adler (now Bond, lol I still feel cringe regarding the name) gaining Moran’s trust. It’s the establishment of Moriarty and Co. to absorb Bond on the front line of their group. By the end, I love the easy flow of how Moran and Bond working together.
In Chapter 25-27 [The Phantom of Whitechapel Act 1-3], I love how they introduced new character, Instructor Jack who played huge role during Moriarty Brothers’ childhood.
The idea where there’s another association who shared the same goal with Moriarty but different method. They intended to create a revolutionary force that costs innocent life. Meanwhile, this volume reminded us where Moriarty stands. Despite wanting change, Moriarty being different from others— they’re ready to sacrifice themselves along the way (mentioned in previous volume).
It’s the ideology of extremist and patriot highlighted. Also, the crises at stake regarding Whitechapel’s status is handled well. And we’re all aware how an organisation can take advantage on this issue, something that might spread its influence if isn’t contained well. The one move that Moriarty did is brilliant yet risky.
With that cliffhanger end, how can I not continue the next volume right away HAHAHAH at least, finishing the ongoing act.

First: I REALLY love Bond. I love his storyline and how they handled it in the first chapter here. I’m dearly hoping we see more of him and Moran working together.
Second: I did not care about the Whitechapel story. At all. Which is a shame, because I’m intrigued by Jack the Ripper and I think they could’ve done more with it. Like, god, if they included the “From Hell” letter and the hotel “From Hell” crime scene… I feel like Moriarty’s line of “Hell is empty and the devils are all here” would’ve been MORE impactful.
