7.25/10.

This is very different from most of the manga I usually read and I think that's why I enjoyed it so much. All the things that are left unanswered added to the mystery of Black Jack. Looking forward to reading more.

The world's greatest surgeon is unlicensed and charges a lot of money. But he also performs miraculous surgeries. This book collects seven or eight essentially unrelated tales of Black Jack's medicinal triumphs. Each story's engaging and well drawn. A pleasure to read, but not something that I'm interested in reading indefinitely, and Vertical seems to have an endless supply to Black Jack books to translate.

Best medical manga? Yup, best medical manga. Black Jack is an effin' champ. 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.

Another great work by Osamu Tezuka. It is a collection of short stories --- perfect to read them in between volumes of other manga or comic books (Tezuka's Buddha, for example). I just love the way Tezuka draws action movements.

If House was a little more fun, if he could do stuff like full body transplants, you'd have Black Jack.

I'm always game for a Tezuka book. Astro Boy might've been the first Japanese comic I read a lot of, and it was great fun, not to mention the layouts and art were groundbreaking. Also, any robot who has an ass full of machine guns is my kinda wacky.

It's another book off the shelf of stuff I wanted to read and then divest myself of before moving.

This one is tough. It's a really good book. I don't think I'll read it again just because there's SO MUCH left on the shelf, and this is how I got there in the first place. But it's one of those books you'd like to see go to the right reader, someone who would appreciate it.

But it'll probably end up in the Little Free Library up the street, which has got to be the awesome-est LFL ever. I've been putting some great shit in there, some weird shit, and some good reads, and you should be so lucky as to live close to that Little Free Library. List me the titles in any other LFL you find, I got 'em beat.
