London, 1888. In the heart of the fog a terrible murder is committed, the word RACHE scrawled in blood on the wall over the body. The police, baffled, turn to the only consulting detective in town for aid--and he, in turn, leads them down that slender scarlet trail to expose a tale of love and revenge which spawns both continents and decades.
Manga Classics: Sherlock Holmes: A Study In Scarlet marks the debut of the eccentric detective Sherlock Holmes and his constant companion Dr. John Watson a legendary duo whose adventure have thrilled readers ever since. Manga Classics is proud to present a full-color manga version of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's debut novel, in which their timeless partnership first begins!
Manga Classics: Sherlock Holmes vol. 1 with art by Julien Choy will be publihsed January 21, 2025. Udon Entertaniment provided an early galley for review.
This is my first foray into Udon's line of classics (they have put out several over recent years). The cover of this one jumped out at me and caught my interest.
I very much like the art style and coloring in this manga. Choy's work is clean and sharp with a touch of animated elements to it. I could easily see this translated into an anime. The designs chosen for Holmes and Watson work very well, in my opinion, as they mix traditional Victorian garb with a more stylistic upgrade.
