With its superb narrative style and rebellious surrealist fantasies, this work successfully broke the dogmas and frameworks of the early new manga, making this work an immortal masterpiece in the Japanese manga industry, along with Nagai Hiroshi's "Demon Man" and Rishiro Ikeda's "Rose of Versailles", and known as the three major manga works of the 1970s. It was also the world's first commercially successful medical comic, which opened the precedent for medical comics and was written for the originator.
The work tells the story of the surgeon Black Jack, who has no license to practice medicine and always demands huge medical expenses, making him notorious in the medical community, but in fact he is a doctor with high medical ethics and saves lives. His superb surgical skills are unmatched, he rejects traditional value standards, and only acts according to his own concept of medicine, so he is rejected and isolated by the authoritative medical community. But he was fearless, and with the help of his assistant, the little girl Pinocchio, he firmly followed the path of medicine in which he believed.
As we all know, Black Jack has a knife scar on his face, and the other half of the face that is divided by the knife scar is black skin, and when he first looked at it, he didn't care too much and only thought it was the author's styling design, but when the whole story was read, he found that this black skin was not designed out of thin air, and there was a touching story.
The story is called "Friends, Where Are You" from the second volume of the manga.
The story goes back to when Black Jack was operating as a child, when a wound on his face needed a skin graft.
However, many parents and children are reluctant to help, afraid that they or their children will be hurt, and they have run away.
The last mixed-race black-skinned child named Guizhi stayed, although the color of the face would be obviously different after the skin implant, but there was no other way to save his life, and after Black Jack recovered, Takashi also disappeared after transferring to school.
In fact, it is easy to replace this piece of skin with Black Jack's surgical technique, but Black Jack believes that this skin is the most important thing given to him by his friend, and if he replaces it, it is equivalent to betraying the sincerity of his friend, so he chooses to keep it all the time.
After black jack has not given up looking for Guizhi, after several twists and turns Black Jack got the letter written by Guizhi to him, it turns out that Guizhi has been working hard for the earth environment for several years, hoping to cure the 'creature' of the earth Finally, Black Jack also learned of Guizhi's death, this skin has also become Guizhi's last relic, Black Jack is also considered to inherit Guizhi's will, has been saving lives and helping the injured, but the object of treatment is not the same.
Finally, the color of the skin on the cover of the young black jack often changes, but it should be a color that is deliberately modified for the overall picture.
