I felt so emotional . . .
They're back!! I am feeling a million things... Happy, sad, and overwhelmed. The series is almost ending and I haven't made peace with it yet. But all good things have to come to an end . . .
I love that Billy the Kid was thrown into this and Sherlock and William tell their tale of New York with their old and new friends. Everyone wants to know what happened in 3 years.
There is a pigeon called Charles Dickens🤣
I am waiting for vol 18 as I feel my heart breaking.

Charles Dickens as a...... this is hilarious I loved it
Brotherly scenes, Sherliam scenes, everything scenes were so heartwarming and even if nothing plot wise happened in this volume it was such a joy to read through.

Fellas, is it gay to profess to your rival who helped you fake your death and ran away with you to start a new life in a new country together that he fills your world with color, reminds you that you do have a heart, and that he gives you something to live for? Asking for a friend~

“all i can say for sure is that i enjoy spending time with you. when i met you, it was as though everything became brighter. my whole world changed. and that night you saved me, it changed again. this time, it was suddenly full of color. you showed me that, despite all i’d done, i still had a heart. now i can honestly say that everything is precious to me. i never knew the world looked this beautiful.”

I wanted to like this volume for the Sherlock/William stuff, but good grief it partially recycles white supremacist propaganda with why the US Civil War happened and uses copaganda for the Pinkertons, of all people, completely ignoring like... why strike-breaking is a bad thing? And why not letting the government hire mercenaries against its own citizens is a good thing? I mean the US still hires mercenaries abroad, so it's not like it doesn't happen, but like the Anti-Pinkerton act was a good thing, contrary to whatever is going on in idea here.
For the record, the Pinkertons are and always have been a private security force, not a secret arm of the US Department of Justice. I mean maybe they are, who knows, but for all intents and purposes, publicly, they've always been a private security force/group of mercenaries and largely a bunch of for-hire assholes willing to work for the bosses to spy on workers and oppose worker's rights by any means necessary. Please look up the Homestead Strike. Since the majority of people reading this are very likely not rich monopolists like Carnegie, just FYI, people should not be sympathizing with an organization like the Pinkertons. Don't be a scab.
It is fiction and it can be fun to mess around with history, and that's fine. It's a Japanese mangaka writing some odd game of telephone version of US history, so I get it. But this part is deeply disturbing. There's already so much copaganda, and plenty for the Pinkertons. Really depressing that even the good parts of the manga - rare as they are - get marred by this.
Also the whole "the US Civil War was about states rights and war of Northern Aggression" was literally made up by white supremacist traitors (lol look it's Billy's hated word) to whitewash that they wanted to keep people enslaved. I mean yes, it was states' rights - the right to keep people enslaved. It's in the Confederate constitution. Funny thing about Billy's favorite word, too. The Confederacy literally are traitors lol Like the manga wants it to feel deep, but it's really not. Their opponents were -checks notes- the federal government. They attempted to forcibly leave the union and then fought the union. That's... what a traitor is. (And they lost) Also they wanted to keep people enslaved. Like the Union wasn't perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but like... that part of this is so swept under the rug that it's utterly bizarre (it gets one sentence and is... never brought up again). Like you want to write bishounen Billy the Kid Who Worked For Strikebreakers Fanfiction, that's fine. And it doesn't have to reconcile with who the Pinkertons are and their place in history. But it's not a comfortable read, either.
It's also fascinating about what cast was chosen. Yes, part of it is clearly the lean in the narrative towards all these military and spy agencies working together to retain power for their governments, and the Pinkertons are just there, conveniently. And like I dread to think what this story would have done with a black character, but it's interesting that Billy the Kid Who Worked For Strikebreakers was picked over any particular other well-known time-relevant cowboy-ish people, like, I don't know, Bass Reeves, who actually did work for the federal government. Sure, it'd be a bit weird to write him into the story for like why he would be in/around London, and the variable timeline doesn't quite work for his history. But you know, it's fantasyland, so why not? I would honestly love to read about Sherlock Holmes and Bass Reeves shutting down strikebreakers. That'd be cool. Much cooler than whatever nonsense was in this volume, anyway.
Maybe the conclusion will be . I can only hope.

TW/CW: suicidal thoughts
I’m still on the fence about this new arc but I am hopeful.
Volume 17 is filled with reassurances and hope. THIS IS THE FIRST VOLUME WITHOUT ANY VIOLENCE OR GORE!! What a surprise. I kinda like it? There’s no tension or drama, just comfort at the moment.
The dynamics of friendship have improved, which is wonderful. I love this reunion. As they share the happenings of the past, we will now concentrate on Sherlock's adventures in NYC during his three-year absence from home with our new character, Billy (and spoiler someone else! Wink wink). We learn about the formation of the United States, the Pinkerton National Detective Agency (which is real, I checked!), and much more!!! I love this shift as we’ve been in London for 16 volumes.
I should point out that this manga occasionally deviates from the actual historical timeframe (mentioned by the mangaka before). Therefore, it's preferable to just appreciate it despite the discrepancies (the inventions of Herder, that one scene with the undergarments hahaha etc). After all, it's a work of fiction. Volume 18 is coming tomorrow!! I can’t wait to continue. Things are looking good at the moment.

Mój świat się zmienił tego dnia, w którym mnie ocaliłeś. Świat stał się naprawdę piękny.
Po powrocie Williama każdy szykuje się do świętowania, dzięki temu poznajemy co takiego Sherly i Liam robili podczas tych trzech lat. Poznajcie osobę zwaną "Bill the Kid"
Nareszcie się wszyscy spotkali, okazuje się, że nie mogłam się tego doczekać, tak jak historii Billa, którego zdążyliśmy już poznać. Bill jako jedyny rozumie ship Sherliam - przez co go kochamy ( no i nie tylko) Zamieńmy Londyn na inną scenerię i zobaczmy w jaki sposób Mistrz Zbrodni dogaduje się ze swoim detektywem.

With all three Moriarty brothers finally reunited, it’s time for… a dinner party. As everybody gets chummy with one another, the story turns to what Sherlock and William were up to in America.
Sometimes Moriarty is less. I applaud the series once more for finding a way to move forward after the point where it should have begged off and called it a day, but this is where I’ll be parting ways with the series.
Oh, I will miss parts of it. Herder’s current schtick of inventing (and naming) inventions that are about a century ahead of their time remains amusing. The one that he busts out in this volume is hilariously silly.
There are also the continued oblique hints about the relationship between Sherlock and William, the general nature of which could launch a dozen slashfics. Seeing them sharing an apartment is dead amusing.
Otherwise this, bluntly put, wastes a lot of time. It’s a long dinner sequence to reintroduce everybody to one another and let them interact. It’s fun, after a fashion, but it just goes on forever.
Then it pivots to the start of an American adventure with Billy the Kid, where it turns out he and Sherlock are working for the Pinkertons. Yes, those. And it really seems to love them, despite, you know, how the Pinkertons actually worked.
If the moralizing of the first part of the series was a bit heavy handed, it has nothing on Billy waxing fondly about the Second Amendment and freedom from government interference. The class struggle I could get behind. This? Eh, not so much.
It’s a bold move that it cannot pull off because there’s a lot of history that gets ignored, bowled over, or just plain changed in service to the story. Nobility dumping on the lesser classes is nice and basic. The stuff about US history it gets into here is incredibly complicated and, these days, used to justify a lot of bad actions when spin a certain way, so the series’ typical attitude is ill-suited for it.
That’s just about as much of this as I need. I don’t necessarily think it means anything bad, but the boredom plus this current arc’s apparent trajectory, I don’t much care for Billy as a character, leaves me pretty cold.
2.5 stars - I think that this truly hasn’t been a series for me for a while now. And, rather than throw money at it to see how much I can come to regret continuing on, I think I can let it go here.

such a nice volume! i loved to see everyone together, they're like a big family at this point. i'm so happy we got to see what happened in new york (at least some of it because it's not all), i love sherlock and liam's relationship (and billy is for sure 1# sherliam shipper, he made so many implications), i love billy, he's so funny and sweet. can't wait to read more of the new york adventures!!

I do like the series, I only wish that Moriarty would be allowed to be a bit more evil. It is funny though and brings together a lot of topics, I’m not quite enjoying the Bond theme, but that’s personal taste.

Dużo historycznych nawiązań (i biblijnych jeśli chodzi o wcześniejszy tom) fajnie, że nawet pokazano faktyczną kamienicę w usa, w której Sherliam się zatrzymali i jak wygląda dzisiaj (zdjęcie z google maps). Zauważyłam, że te wszystkie nawiązania nieproporcjonalnie nakulminowały się po "final problem", który zresztą moim zdaniem mógł być po prostu ostatnim tomem, więc te tomy po "final problem" dają vibe takich napisów po filmie, nie wydaje mi się, żeby gdzieś konkretnie prowadziły i były potrzebne, ale są całkiem urocze.

But if a filler volume...
Most of this volume was filler as the characters were all brought back together again. Towards the end they finally shift to start to discussing what happened in the missing months. Not much yet, but next volume will probably have lots to discuss.

Je vais être franche, je ne peux pas dire que ce soit mauvais, c’est juste moi qui n’aime pas la tournure prise par la série. Les auteurs ont fait le choix d’emmener leurs personnages sur la voie de la rédemption, là où je voulais quelque chose de bien plus sombre et terrible. Je me sens trahie mais leur écriture est depuis cohérente avec leurs choix. Ce ne sont juste pas les miens.
J’ai été très déçue au début quand j’ai vu la direction que prenait désormais la série. Heureusement les auteurs nous laissent le temps de nous habituer et je fais peu à peu mon deuil même si ce n’est pas simple. Depuis le début, j’ai l’impression qu’on m’a trompé avec cette série, me promettant une version sombre des écrits de Conan Doyle pour me retrouver au final avec quelque chose de très lisse et gentillet. Mais c’est juste mon sentiment à moi.
En attendant, ce tome est une douce transition entre les deux séquences de l’oeuvre, nous emmenant sur les chemins de la rédemption de la team Moriary. Les auteurs ont choisi de leur faire racheter leurs mauvaises actions, pas surprenant alors de les voir faire le point sur là où ils en sont et de suivre leurs retrouvailles avec leur chef ici. C’est avec émotion qu’on y assiste également tant on sent l’attachement de tous pour William et ça fait plaisir à voir. Cela donne un tome plutôt calme, limite tranche de vie, ou calme après la tempête où on les voit reprendre leurs marques et refaire connaissance. C’est mignon et touchant.
Nous avons droit également à l’habituelle séquence souvenir, permettant de combler les années manquantes et de découvrir la nouvelle relation Sherlock – William. C’est émouvant là aussi. Les auteurs essaient de rendre crédible cette prise de conscience de William ce qu’il a fait et les conséquences de ses actes. J’avoue trouver cela un peu trop facile, trop fleur bleue et je n’aime pas que le vecteur de ce changement soit Sherlock, car je n’avais pas adhéré à la dynamique du duo dans cette série. Je trouve cela un peu factice. Mais les intentions sont là et le discours de William sur les erreurs qu’on doit assumer et non pas effacer touche sa cible. Je prends donc un certain plaisir, bien qu’un peu lisse, à découvrir ce nouveau William et ce qu’il a vécu lors de sa « rééducation ».
L’occasion est ainsi parfaite pour le lecteur d’enfin voyager un peu. C’est direction les Etats-Unis avec Sherlock et William, dont on découvre les premiers temps avec Billy the Kid avec qui ils se sont associés. Idéal pour découvrir ce nouveau pays, ses lois et ses moeurs, et mettre en lumière celles de l’Angleterre. Là-bas, c’est le nouveau rôle de Louis qu’on découvre avec saveur. Que ça fait plaisir de le voir mener son monde à la baguette et de ne pas plus rester dans l’ombre. Après, je suis curieuse de savoir où ce nouveau mélange va nous mener parce que ça reste assez flou pour le moment. On prend son temps pour reposer de nouvelles bases mais la direction n’est pas encore claire.
Tome de transition au rythme lent et tranquille, ce 17e tome déjà repose les bases et relance l’intrigue, on ne sait juste pas encore vers où. Si on adhère au principe du récit rédempteur c’est plutôt bien écrit et mené, avec une belle émotion et des promesses. Si on reste fidèle au concept d’origine de la série, on peut trouver cela fade et contradictoire dans l’esprit. A vous de voir où vous vous placer. Personnellement j’aurais presque préféré qu’elle s’arrête à la mort des deux adversaires plutôt que de continuer ainsi…

POPKULTUROWY KOCIOŁEK:
Wielki powrót Williama po trzech latach nieobecności była dla wielu sporym zaskoczeniem. Stało się to bodźcem do pewnych istotnych zmian, które kończą się ponownym zjednoczeniem braci Moriarty. Tym razem jednak cel ich działania będzie zupełnie inny. Każdy z nich zrozumiał bowiem swoje dawne grzechy i teraz jest gotowy na pokutę.
Zanim jednak bohaterowie przejdą do poważniejszych działań, trzeba jakoś uświetnić powrót z martwych. Dlatego też zorganizowana została uroczysta kolacja, na której pojawią się wszystkie znane postacie włącznie z mieszkańcami Baker Street 221B. Spotkanie to pozwala czytelnikom również na odkrycie tego, co działo się z Williamem i Sherlockiem przez prawie trzy lata, kiedy wszyscy uważali ich za martwych.
Siedemnasta odsłona serii to więc dawka dość spokojnej treści z odpowiednio dopasowanym humorem. Całość mangi można podzielić na dwie części. Pierwsza skupia się na przygotowaniach do kolacji i obserwacji zachowań bohaterów, których relacje trochę się zmieniły. W dalszej części tomu pojawiają się retrospekcje, które autor wykorzystuje do wypełnienia fabularnej luki.
Tomik ten jest więc swoistego rodzaju częścią przejściową, która kładzie podwaliny pod nowe wątki. Cała zawartość mangi to nic innego jak budowanie odpowiedniego klimatu, zanim twórca ponownie nie zanurzy bohaterów i czytelników w odmętach spisków, tajemnic i akcji. Wolniejsza i spokojniejsza treść nie oznacza jednak, że jest nudno. Wręcz przeciwnie całość podana jest w przyjemnej formie, a poznanie części wydarzeń z minionych trzech lat, ma duże znaczenie dla wykreowanego świata, jak i samej fabuły....

È finalmente giunto il momento di scoprire cosa è accaduto a Sherlock e William nel corso dei tre anni passati lontano dalle rispettive famiglie. È così, per celebrare il loro ritorno e quello di Albert, l'intero gruppo si riunione per un banchetto - non solo i fratelli Moriarty e compagnia cantante (non mi aspettavo il risvolto romantico tra Moran e Moneypenny), ma anche il gruppetto di Baker Street, Mycroft e Henry Antrim, statunitense, affiliato al Dipartimento di Giustizia, meglio noto come Billy the Kid.
In questo volume vediamo la ripresa di William, la sua scelta di continuare a vivere. Visto che il suo piano è stato completato, ora è libero di scegliere la strada che più gli aggrada. Lui e Sherlock finiscono per vivere insieme (e poi si incazzano se senti profumo di ship...tra loro due e l'accoppiata Albert/Mycroft, ci sono sempre quelle vibe in stile coppia sposata) e, vista la presenza di Henry, iniziano a conoscere meglio la situazione in cui si trova il governo statunitense. Il paese della libertà. Il paese in cui, grazie al secondo emendamento, i cittadini possono procurarsi armi e eventualmente usarle contro le autorità in caso di abuso di potere. Una nazione che non amo particolarmente e quindi eviterò di intavolare polemiche.
Comunque sia, immagino che ci verrà mostrato qualcosa di più anche sul passato di Billy e sul lavoro svolto da lui e Sherlock per conto dell'agenzia investigativa Pinkerton.

I feel like your enjoyment of about half of this volume is going to be dependent on whether you're excited to have a new American--a dare I say, painfully American--character introduced right as the entire series is drawing to a close. I really don't really understand the choice to devote so much time to introducing this character (Billy the Kidd.) Although to be honest I don't really understand many of the choices in this volume, even the ones that have nothing to do with him. In a way the "all the main character's get together for a dinner party" thing is cute, but it's beginning to feel like the story is veering too much into fanfiction of late, and the dinner part chapters don't do anything to help with that. There's not much of a plot to be had with this series anymore; it's just the characters reminiscing and telling each other how terribly fond they are of each other and whatnot. Which is decidedly cute, as I said, but when it's the only thing going on it feels like a little much. That's the sort of thing that really only works within a plot, not as the plot.

Este tomo que abarca del capítulo 65 al 68 tiene sus altibajos. El capítulo 65 es tan emotivo como los del tomo anterior pero a partir del capítulo 66 siento que se recrea demasiado en los sentimientos y situaciones, me da la impresión de que el mangaka está alargando la historia apropósito.
Por suerte a partir del capítulo 67 se comienza un nuevo arco donde descubrimos que pasó con William y Sherlock durante sus 3 años de ausencia. El capítulo 68 da varias explicaciones y conocemos a un nuevo personaje pero no me termina de convencer, siento que el autor pone excusas para prolongar la historia de más y sus justificaciones sobre algunos sucesos son demasiado pobres. De todas formas es un buen tomo que ayuda a dar contexto a la trama.
P.D. Me gustaron los guiños que se hicieron a los cuentos clásicos del Sherlock Holmes, me alegra que el mangaka no dejara de lado las referencias al material original.
