While the health-care debate is still fresh in our minds here in the United States, controversy over the business of our well-being is always brewing. Osamu Tezuka was no stranger to the topic, as Cian O’Luanaigh of The Guardian (U.K.) explained in his recent article “Osamu Tezuka: Father of manga and scourge of the medical establishment.” As O’Luanaigh details, Tezuka masterfully used Black Jack’s fantastic escapades to examine the ills plaguing Japan’s health-care industry.
In the newest volume of Black Jack, our rogue surgeon goes further beyond what the medical establishment deems acceptable, as he operates on spirits, challenges psychic surgeons, and treats an adorable, and familiar, white lion. Whether you’re a first-time patient or a loyal patron of the doctor, you won’t be disappointed when you check in with Black Jack. Make a reservation and pick up volume 12 today.
