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.

While Black Jack’s reputation as the most skilled doctor around is only matched by the infamy that his often-exorbitant fees have earned him, Volume 11 of Black Jack takes a more holistic approach to the man. As the doctor encounters men and women of all ages and professions, not to mention dogs, clams, and even a kappa, he takes everything from preexisting conditions to his own sense of morality into account when deciding on both treatment and fees.

The doctor himself also receives care this time around, delving into his past and exploring his future in episodes that include one that may be a “goodbye” to Black Jack! Who knows how much health coverage this comprehensive would cost you, but at $16.95, there should be no debate on how you’ll cover your manga needs—pick up Black Jack, Volume 11, available now!

Health care reform is on its way and apparently the country is torn…possibly for good reason.  While the President’s bill provides health insurance to millions of Americans, it does not cover nearly as much as the basic plan rogue surgeon Black Jack offers. For a paltry $16.95 anyone, citizen, immigrant or alien, can get Osamu Tezuka’s full-service manga coverage regardless of age or pre-existing condition.

In this 10th volume of Black Jack, our doctor adds a psychological and physical therapy program to his already extensive post-op recovery program. House calls are already a luxury in the medical world, but BJ’s own plan covers not only the tenants but the home itself. And while HCR might cover cosmetic surgery under certain cases, Black Jack will not only cover you and your family in the homeland, but he will also treat loved ones overseas as well.

So while pundits debate over death panels and socialism, we ask Americans to read our text-bubbles as we confirm that no new taxes will be needed to pay for your medical manga coverage.

It sure is not easy being the world’s most notorious medic. One day you are on the cover of all the medical journals, and the next you’re being hunted down by the underworld. In volume 9, Black Jack continues to crisscross the globe treating the politically-exiled and the environmentally-challenged, healing wounds and mending hearts along the way. But in one special chapter, Black Jack goes beyond the call of duty to treat a unique client who has signed up for a special lifetime coverage plan, paid in advance a million times over with affection.

In honor of this latest edition of Tezuka’s Black Jack we are now adding a new plan for readers to enjoy. Now available with every volume is full family coverage, at no additional cost! For a simple bi-monthly co-pay of $16.95, readers worldwide can gain access to the best medicine and science-fiction manga has to offer.

After dozens of operations it seems as if manga’s most trusted medic Black Jack can treat just about anything with his scalpel. But there might be one thing his god-like hands cannot cure—broken hearts.

Now at the halfway point of Osamu Tezuka’s masterwork, his titular character Black Jack must not only treat the pain and suffering felt by the bodies of his patients, but he will have to just as deftly diagnose and cure their emotional, and often mental, trauma as well. In such cases, sometimes the procedures used may not be endorsed by regional medical associations. Then again, would you turn to our rogue medic if your HMO could provide comparable medical care? Not if your love life depended on it.

As our elected representatives are criss-crossing the country on the stump for health care reform, the latest addition to a proven plan will be available to the public this week.  Volume 7 of Osamu Tezuka’s Black Jack is now available to treat a nation desperately in need of an affordable plan to cure an epidemic of post-summer boredom.

While the media has citizens up in arms about death panels and increased national debt, manga’s original surgeon general continues to offer new ways to entertain generations of Americans. Healthy pets mean happy owners, and now Black Jack is offering full veterinary coverage. And for the first time ever by a provider, Black Jack’s plan includes family services to help mend the hearts of households in need.

With so many of us in need of alternative health care, isn’t it time to demand a change?  Don’t leave your manga health in the hands of insurance companies or government bureaucrats. Join the growing number of Americans with comprehensive coverage from the best manga has to offer. Pick up your copy of Black Jack Volume 7 today!

As long as you have the money nothing can keep mercenary surgeon Black Jack from treating what ails you. Not the police, not his lack of medical credentials, and definitely not little spats like feuds or wars. Once Black Jack takes an assignment his hands are yours, so only his death or an untimely  incarceration will prevent him from fulfilling his obligations.

In this latest collection, our scalpel-for-hire is up against the whole criminal justice system. First it’s Black Jack against the Japanese Medical Association in a no-holds barred face-off with lives on the line. Then when a murderer attempts suicide to escape a prison sentence, the law, with Black Jack’s skills, hand down two consecutive death sentences!! Finally the good doc does what he can to save a dying boy, but sometimes God is the only true judge, jury, and executioner.

With more than thirty years of service, Black Jack has provided health care and illegal wellness advice to clients worldwide. And for only $16.95 you too can get Black Jack’s hands-on lifetime consultation services. When Black Jack fights the law…readers win!
