I definitely thought I’d love this more than I did. I have easy access to the next three volumes though so I’ll read those before I decide if I want to drop this series or not.

Es un increíble comienzo de una serie. Creo que es una idea original un personaje que solo vemos muy pocas veces adaptado y darle todo un trasfondo, como lo es en este caso Moriarty.
Aunque voy a admitir que en momentos se me hizo medio largo el tomo pero aún así lo disfruté mucho.

I wouldn't normally rate individual manga volumes but I don't think I'll continue this series so here we are. I think the concept here is an interesting one to bring into a manga. I like the premise this volume sets up and I think it could lead to an interesting story. However, things worked out just a bit too conveniently each time and the main characters intelligence was just a bit too convenient too. But my main gripe with this volume was I have never felt so beaten over the head as a reader by the message a manga is trying to portray and it really started to bug me. With the idea of 'show don't tell', this book really shows you and then tells you and then tells you again.
