Young Black Jack

ヤング ブラック・ジャック

In late-1960s Japan, against a backdrop of student protests and the war in Vietnam, medical student Kuroo Hazama already operates with a skill far beyond his training. Marked by a dark past and the surgeon Honma who once saved his life, he takes on cases no licensed doctor will touch and pulls off operations that should be impossible. This prequel traces the years before Hazama becomes the unlicensed back-alley surgeon known as Black Jack, adapted from Osamu Tezuka's original character.
