Black Jack ( Japanese ブ ラ ッ ク ・ ジ ャ ッ ク , Burakku Jakku ) is a manga series by the Japanese illustrator Osamu Tezuka from 1973 to 1983. It is one of the most influential Japanese comics of the 1970s. The manga, which has been filmed several times and translated into several languages, comprises over 4700 pages and can be assigned to the Shōnen genre.
Characters
Black Jack is an unlicensed doctor and the best surgeon in the world. However, he has astonishing medical skills, for the use of which he charges large sums in order to force a special argument from the people around the sick. The high sums of money inevitably give them the choice of whether and how much their health, their life or that of their relatives are worth to them.
Pinoko (derived from Pinocchio) is Black Jack's little companion. She was a parasitic twin, or organism with its own brain, limbs and internal organs in her sister, and was diagnosed as a teratogenic , cystic tumor . Black Jack operated her out and gave her her own body with an artificial skeleton.
Emergence
Osamu Tezuka was a trained doctor himself. He himself said that if he had become a doctor instead of a manga artist, he would have tried to be like blackjack . In the manga he was able to process his medical knowledge, so real or invented diseases are explained over several pages and operations are presented in detail and realistically. Tezuka uses triangular or trapezoidal panel frames in surgical scenes, as if the sides were being “cut open”.
Publications
Black Jack appeared in Japan from November 1973 to October 1983 in 242 individual chapters in the weekly manga magazine Shōnen Champion , in which, among other things, Shinji Mizushimas Dokaben was published at the same time . From May 1974 to November 1994 the Akita-Shoten- Verlag summarized these individual chapters in 25 anthologies. The manga series has been reprinted several times since the 1970s in different formats and with different numbers of anthologies.
The manga series has been translated into Chinese, Korean, Thai, English, French, Italian and Spanish, among others.
Awards
At the first award of the Kodansha Manga Prize in 1977 Black Jack was awarded in the category of his own along with another manga series by Tezuka, Mitsuma ga tōru .
Film adaptations
The renowned anime director Osamu Dezaki , who became famous for anime such as Ashita no Joe and Treasure Island , filmed the manga in 1993 in the form of a ten-part original video animation . In November 1996, a 105-minute film followed, also directed by Osamu Dezakis.
From October 2004 to March 2006, the Japanese television station Yomiuri TV ran a 61-episode anime series based on the manga, directed by Osamu Tezuka's son Makoto Tezuka . On December 17, 2005, the film Black Jack: Futari no Kuroi Isha (ブ ラ ッ ク ・ ジ ャ ッ ク ふ た り の 黒 kam 医 者) was released in Japanese cinemas, where it was featured in the top 10 most successful films of the week in Japan for one week. From April to September 2006 the sequel Black Jack 21 was broadcast with 17 episodes.
In all of the films, Akio Ōtsuka played the role of Black Jack and Yūko Mizutani that of Pinoko .
