I'm so glad I got around to reading this manga; the first six volumes have been sitting on my shelves - unread - for an embarrassingly long amount of time. Already started reading the second volume! Black Jack and Pinoko are the best, it's true. ( ) The back of the book says that this is an adult book, but I have to say that I am not really sure why. There isn't really any crazy sex or violence. This was an intrigueing read. Black Jack is an interesting character, and while we are given plenty of background on him; I wish we were given more info on what makes him tick. Sometimes he is exceedingly selfish, other times he is incredibly kind, and there seems to be nor rhyme or reason regarding his decisions. Sometimes it seems to be a decision based upon the worthiness of the cause, other times it just seems random.

Black Jack is a mysterious and charismatic young genius surgeon who travels the world performing amazing and impossible medical feats. Though a trained physician, he refuses to accept a medical license due to his hatred and mistrust of the medical community's hypocrisy and corruption. This leads Black Jack to occasional run-ins with the authorities, as well as from gangsters and criminals who approach him for illegal operations. Black Jack charges exorbitant fees for his services, the proceeds from which he uses to fund environmental projects and to aid victims of crime and corrupt capitalists. But because Black Jack keeps his true motives secret, his ethics are perceived as questionable and he is considered a selfish, uncaring devil. No library descriptions found. |
