posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Indonesian publisher M&C! teased a release of artist Jay.'s Japanese manga adaptation of the BBC series Sherlock on Tuesday. The post hints at a 2017 release.
The post shows all three adapted volumes of the first season episodes "A Study in Pink," "The Blind Banker," and "The Great Game."
Kadokawa previously published a bilingual edition of the manga aimed at Japanese students studying English.
In the BBC series, several Doctor Who scriptwriters (Steven Moffat, Mark Gatiss, and Stephen Thompson) take Arthur Conan Doyle's brilliant yet idiosyncratic detective and re-imagine him in modern-day London. Benedict Cumberbatch (Atonement, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Star Trek Into Darkness, The Fifth Estate) and Martin Freeman (The Office, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, The Hobbit, The World's End) star as Sherlock and his friend Dr. Watson, respectively. There have been three seasons of three 90-minute episodes, and a fourth season is in the works.
The artist "Jay." drew the "A Study in Pink" adaptation in 2012. "The Blind Banker" adaptation shipped in 2013, and "The Great Game" adaptation launched in December 2014.
