Moriarty the Patriot

I recommend this manga to those who like villains.  The reason is that the theme is 

for bad guys to beat evil. It is based on Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes series, and the story from the perspective of Moriarty. He is Holmes's old enemy.  The Moriarty the Patriot approach and the unprecedented "philosophy of evil" of "changing the world with crime" fascinated readers and quickly became a hit.

The setting of this manga is England at the end of the 19th century. In the prosperous British Empire during the Industrial Revolution, discrimination based on the long-established "perfect class system" was strong. It is the upper class, or aristocrats who have privileges and control the country.  Most bottom people are exhausted by the absolute system of their life and the intense discrimination. The main character is Moriarty who was originally an orphan of the lower class. However he is promoted to upper class by using his wisdom and knowledge.

My recommended character is Irene Adler. This woman is very smart and beautiful. She uses her beauty and her wisdom to hunt down her opponent in various ways. She is a very strong woman, so I got attracted to her.
