Another collection of stories about the unlicensed surgeon who's said to only take on patients who can afford his outrageous fees; in story after story, however, he reveals a heart of gold. This collection includes several all-out tearjerkers, including "The Robin and the Boy." Oh, and the one where he goes head-to-head with a Kevorkian-like patient in a dispute over a paralyzed woman; the question of whether she'll live or die is resolved in a particularly ironic twist.

This volume felt a little bit darker then previous volumes but was still very enjoyable. I still love Pinoko, but even her stories are more serious this time around. Due to the nature of the medical cases in this volume we do get to see more of Black Jack the anti-hero, who does right in a more round about way that people don't necessarily see.
Always a fun read. I enjoyed this one, but none of the plot arcs really jumped out and grabbed me. I'm starting to realize that I feel the same way about Black Jack stories as I do about Star Trek. Each one has that certain combination of ridiculousness mixed with a serious or meaningful message that makes for a great story.
I love Pinoko, I can't help it. Lots of ladies and babies and Blackjack not really being in the money for it in this one. And blackjack performing BADASS surgery on himself and thenfending off dingoes. Man what a guy.
great finish to the 3 vol. accupuncture episode helps widen the entire work by giving a sense of history/values to the surgeon. an excellent balance between one-off productions and interwoven story.

Continues to be dead solid in both story and art. Sad thing is I'm hooked and have to buy more volumes!
Great series and the global themes Tezuka worked into some of these stories resonated with me. Looking forward to continuing.
Much darker and more poignant than Black Jack #1, but such a good read. This series is my new favorite thing.
I picked it up for the pretty cover - and 'cause my kids all read manga and I thought I might be able to stomach this one.
This was too ridiculous for my taste.
A ver cuándo me lo puedo traer pal depto así sigo tezukeando de lo lindo.
Awesome...No other words could describe it!
Le roi des mangas.
