Yuukoku no Moriarty

In late-19th-century Britain, social class nearly determines the value of a life from birth. Aristocrats can stand above the law while the poor have little meaningful way to hold them accountable. William James Moriarty appears to be a quiet nobleman and mathematics professor, but in secret he works as a “crime consultant” for people crushed by that system.

Alongside his brothers Albert and Louis, William does not intend to correct a handful of isolated injustices. He wants to destroy the class structure itself. He designs crimes that force corrupt nobles to pay for what they have done, manipulating every detail toward a larger revolution. Each success, however, attracts people capable of recognizing the mind behind the pattern, including a young detective named Sherlock Holmes. Their growing contest may decide whether Moriarty becomes a liberator or Britain’s greatest criminal.
