The first part of the manga ends with the “Valley of Friends” arc, named after Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's fourth and final Sherlock Holmes novel, The Valley of Fear, in December 2022.
Takeuchi and Miyoshi launched the manga in Jump SQ. magazine in August 2016. Takeuchi draws the storyboards and Miyoshi provides the artwork. Shueisha published the manga's 19th compiled book volume in February 2023. Viz Media is releasing the manga in English.

In the manga, he is an orphan who takes the name William James Moriarty when he and his younger brother are adopted into the Moriarty family. As a young man, he seeks to eliminate the ills caused by England's strict class system.
The manga inspired an anime television series that premiered in October 2020, with the second half airing in April 2021. The series has a total of 24 episodes. Funimation streamed the anime as it aired in Japan, and also aired an English dub.
The main manga series has also inspired a series of stage musicals and two stage plays. The fifth musical is scheduled to run from August to September 2023.
