STORY

This is the first animated TV series of the popular manga Black Jack, which has been made into a movie, a direct-to-video animated series, and live action TV dramas. Basically, it is a faithful production of the original but some adjustments were made in the plots and depiction of surgical scenes to make them acceptable to a wider audience. Moreover, Largo, the family dog, and Sharaku and Wato Chiyoko from The Three-Eyed One join the series as regular characters.
