Black Jack – A Manga Based on the Game of Blackjack
Blackjack is a game of skill and chance, with the aim of beating the dealer. The game has also gained a lot of popularity on TV, movies and in books. In the past some famous card counters have even become millionaires. Throughout the 50’s and 60’s card counters such as James McDermott, Jess Marcum, Roger Baldwin, Joe Bernstein and Herbert Maisel made quite a fortune by counting cards.
However, despite its high popularity, Black Jack is not as well-known as it should be. Some people may think that Black Jack is just a game of chance, but there’s more to it than that. Black Jack is a manga written and illustrated by Osamu Tezuka, and it is based on the game of blackjack. Its main character is a doctor named Black Jack, who uses his skills to save those in need.
The manga started in 1973 and has been published continuously since then. The series has also been translated into many different languages, including English. In the United States, the series has been adapted into several different television and movie versions. In addition, a number of video games have been developed for the manga.
In the early episodes of the manga, the story takes place in S-city where Black Jack is a young man living with his mother and sister. His sister is a pianist, while his mother is a singer. He dreams of becoming a pianist himself, but he is unable to achieve his goal because of his poor health.
Later in the manga, the character of Michelle Rochasse is introduced. She is a star of a popular film and she seems to be in good health, but she slowly begins to lose weight. Eventually, she is unable to eat and develops red blotches on her skin. After an exhaustive battery of tests, Black Jack is unable to determine what is wrong with her. She is referred to Dr. Kiriko, who has a reputation for helping her clients die.
After a while, Black Jack is called in to examine Koichiro Tsuzuki. The young head of a large corporation, Tsuzuki has developed a carbuncle-like tumor that resembles a human face. He becomes extremely paranoid and accuses the doctors of conducting experiments on him. He also starts to disappear for hours at night. Black Jack agrees to operate on him but is at the edge of his scalpel when a voice tells him not to cut.
In another story, Black Jack and Pinoko befriend an old lady who is staying at her son’s hospital. She has a dissociative identity disorder and has two personalities. One of them is a violent killer. The other wants to rob Black Jack. He manages to destroy the personality, but after a while it returns. This time he is able to keep the personality under control and he recovers from his injuries.
