Yeah, I'll buy it. God knows I love my Sherlock Holmes.

Now all I have to wonder is if the manga will play up the homoerotic overtones of the relationship between Sherlock and John. Because I can think of several thousand fujojshi in America alone who would be interested in that being published.

We are thus given the task of foreseeing which other duos will enjoy a similar transition of medium. Jeeves and Wooster? The Two Ronnies? Roobarb and Custard?

Given how the Brits love wordplay, it wouldn't be such a hassle with the Japanese love of wordplay.

Assuming they got permission for this so it's pretty cool that the BBC green lighted this.

That being said I am not really sure Id want to read stories that I already experienced on TV.
