I struggle reading Manga because it takes me a moment to adjust to reading the opposite direction of what I'm used to but I enjoyed this rendition of Sherlock Holmes' book, "A Study in Scarlet".  The art is done well and the story is true Sherlock Holmes!  A delightful mystery and it was fun to tag along with Sherlock and Watson as they solved the case.  The suspense was perfect.  The illustrations were eye-catching and pulled me into the story.  

I love the artwork!  This is a manga that I thoroughly enjoyed.  I'm impressed with this rendition of "A Study in Scarlet"!

The characters are white
