“Black Jack” Introduction: Kuroo Hazama, a young boy raised in a wealthy family with a beautiful mother and capable father, had a bright and hopeful future. However, a single unexploded bomb shattered his hopes in an instant. An explosion killed his mother, tore his family apart, and left the boy so severely injured that his body was torn to shreds.
Everyone was sure he was dead. But a surgeon named Honma saved him. Honma refused to give up. He performed a major operation that lasted dozens of hours to save the boy, and finally brought him back from the brink of death. His body was covered in patches, and half of his hair was gray from fear. When he returned to life, his appearance had changed completely. What awaited him was a hellish rehabilitation program to help him recover.
The boy endured the rehabilitation. Before he knew it, a goal began to grow in the boy’s heart: to become a brilliant surgeon like Honma. And then, a few years later, a genius surgeon was born. This was the birth of Black Jack—a doctor who could make the impossible possible.
A doctor who charged exorbitant fees for surgery. And a surreptitious doctor without a medical license. Who exactly was he? Introduction to “Black Jack 21,” A new series by the same staff as “Black Jack.” New characters have been added, and the series has been revamped from a self-contained, one-episode series to a continuous story.
Black Jack travels around the world with Pinoko in search of clues to unravel the conspiracy of a mysterious organization that is trying to kill him. The correct way to pronounce Tezuka Osamu’s name is to put a dot in the “inoko” part.
