In this volume the doctor felt a little bit more harsh then in previous volumes. I guess the author is reminding us that even though he is a better person then he pretends to be, he is also a little bit bad. There were also a few hopeless cases in this one, making it sadder then some of the previous volumes. I still love Pinoko and generally like the series.
Black Jack, a brilliant doctor performs miraculous operations while hiding out on a little shack on a hill with his creepy doll-like assistant.
The local library only has Vol.1 and Vol.4 for some strange reason, but it doesn't interfere much with reading it. Tezuka's (he did Astro Boy!) cute-looking characters and uncluttered style are balanced with the dark themes he explores and the somewhat graphic images of surgery.

Good, good series. If you like House, you'll like these books. The enigmatic Black Jack character continues to be defined a bit further. It hits some of the themes of earlier stories, but they're such good reads.

Tezuka breaks the fourth wall once too often for my tastes, and he is straining against the page limit, which results in rushed stories and deus ex machina endings. But when art and story work together, as it does in "Pinoko Love Story" and "Burned Doll," Tezuka achieves greatness.
More stories about a brilliant but unlicensed doctor who performs miraculous surgeries for all sorts of unusual clients. This volume felt like it had a lot more stories with O. Henry-type twists than the previous volumes, like the one about the would-be revolutionaries who blow themselves up trying to take out their rivals, or the one about the cop who forces Black Jack to re-attach the fingers of his pickpocket arch-nemesis. Tezuka's storyboarding composition remains as strong as ever, and you...more
Amazing volume with surprising stories and of course beautiful art. I'm hooked good on Tezuka now.
One of the more interesting things that I noticed in this volume, as compared to other volumes was increasingly self-referential. At times, characters would rationalize their actions by explaining how it would save page length, or a traditional plot device. At other times, it would reference various other pop culture characters or well-known manga writers. This was fascinating to me because it not only allowed Tezuka to try some different things, but freed him up with a clever rationale for doin...more
Ce quatrième tome regorge d'histoires fortes qui ne se laisseront pas oublier de sitôt. On est tour à tour violemment ému, révolté, et emporté par la lecture des aventures du chirurgien le plus secret du Japon.
Último tomo que poseo (por ahora) de esta obraza de Tezuka. Espero conseguir los 13 siguientes sin problemas y sin que me saquen un ojo en el proceso.
The story line seemed interesting, but- oh god. The art. I couldn't get past it.
