A stage presentation at the Jump Festa ’20 event on Sunday announced that Ryōsuke Takeuchi and Hikaru Miyoshi‘s Yūkoku no Moriarty(Moriarty the Patriot) manga is getting an anime adaptation.
Takeuchi and Miyoshi debuted the manga in Shueisha‘s Jump SQ. magazine in August 2016. Takeuchi draws the storyboards and Miyoshi provides the art. Shueisha published the manga’s 10th compiled volume on November 1.
A Novel for the franchise shipped in November 2018.
