Synopsis

The series follows Christie, the niece of Sherlock Holmes. She's shown to be incredibly clever and inquisitive, much to the chagrin of those close to her.

Reception

The School Library Journal wrote a mixed review for the first omnibus release, as they enjoyed the story and characters but criticized it for being marked as "all ages" given the inclusion of a crossover with Dance in the Vampire Bund, which the company played up as a feature. They commented that "it wouldn’t be a problem here if Seven Seas had either promoted the crossover elements but rated Young Miss Holmes Teen/13+ so as to have less of an abrupt change between it and Dance or if Seven Seas had kept Young Miss Holmes at a lower rating but downplayed the crossover as much as possible, so as to keep the young audience for Young Miss Holmes separated from the more mature audience of Dance."[3] Anime News Network was more positive, writing that it was "Fairly faithful to Holmesian literature in general and the period, detailed art, interesting characters" and that the "Crossover with Dance in the Vampire Bund is nicely executed."[4]

gollark: If you want the *names* for whatever reason, that is somewhat harder.
gollark: It has multiple returns, so do `{peripheral.find "monitor"}` if you want a table of all monitors.
gollark: `peripheral.find "monitor"`
gollark: beehive
gollark: Maybe as an option like the somewhat-not-really-immutable-globals feature.
