Books like Black Jack by Osamu Tezuka
Black Jack is a legendary, itinerant surgeon whose reputation precedes him. Though a licensed physician, he deliberately shuns a formal medical license, driven by disdain for what he sees as hypocrisy and corruption within the profession. Consequently, he faces occasional clashes with authorities as well as with criminal elements who seek his clandestine skills.
He charges steep fees for his services, using the proceeds to support environmental initiatives and to aid victims of crime and large‑scale injustice. Because his true motives remain hidden, many view him as morally ambiguous or even sinister, yet beneath the surface lies a complex code of personal ethics that guides his actions.
First publish date: 1993
