Space Detective Holmes

Space Detective Holmes (宇宙探偵ホォムズ, Uchuu Tantei Holmes) is a Sherlock Holmes doujinshi series by SUSSANRAP. The series was initially in Japanese only, but the doujinka later released Squid & Watson, a kindle ebook edition with an English translation; two more English versions are being edited.The announcement that an English edition is being worked on is here.
As the title suggests, it's a science fiction AU in which Holmes and Watson are in space. In this series, Sherlock's given name is written チョロＱ (choroQ) instead of the regular シャーロック (shaarokku); the roman version is Choro-Q.The roman version is available on the English edition, summarized on the Amazon kindle sales page.

Squid & Watson is the English-language kindle edition of the original Space Detective Holmes. It's translated and sold by the doujinka (who is bilingual). It's available through Amazon. Notably, the doujinka adjusted the shape of the speech bubbles to better accommodate English; this looks much nicer but it's not usually done, either for professional releases or for scanlations, probably because of the amount of work involved.
