Synopsis

Saitou Eijirou is a newly established intern doctor, who is forced to take on a second night job at another, much smaller hospital because of the extremely low pay he receives. As he bounces between the two different hospitals, he is forced to dig deeper and deeper into Japan's largely corrupted medical society and starts to question even his own initial beliefs, as he asks himself just what being a doctor means.

Say hello to Black Jack is one of the most overlooked manga on MAL due to its lack of English scans and publications (I read it in French). However, it is one of the few manga that left a strong impression on me.
Story: 10/10
The story focuses on a young intern in Eiroku (University famous for medicine) and the chronicles of his experience as an intern in different departments of the hospital. Each story arc is a 3-4 months internship in one of the major departments of medicine and Saito (protagonist) is always left in charge of one particular case/patient. However, his naive ideals and stubbornness makes him rebellious and doubtful about the ethics of medicine in Japan. From, neonatal care to cancer/chemotherapy to psychiatry, each department provides an unique view on the difficulties and challenges of society. Wonderful storyline, dealing with an extremely mature critical and hard subject with a very strong emotional and psychological impact on the readers.
Art: 9/10
Some characters' face are exaggerated in a serious and realistic fashion. The artwork can be categorized as realistic seinen, sometimes bordering on the same category as Vagabond in terms of details.
Character: 10/10
The characters are truly multi-dimensional. Many of the 'antagonists', i.e. the senior doctors in each department first appears to be insensible and corrupted. However, as the story progresses, we discover that there is no right or wrong between Saito's ideology and that of his seniors. At the end of each arc, not only Saito grows by understanding that his initial thoughts about patient-doctor relationship is too naive, some of the senior doctors also get influenced by Saito. Some regain things from their youth that they have lost after spending too many years in the corrupted system.
Enjoyement and Overall: 10/10
This manga is a SHOCK manga, revealing some of the most obscure aspects of the medical system in Japan. While being pessimistic and dark, it still portrays with confidence the presence of hope both for the patient and the doctor...even when there are none....Some of the story arcs, especially the last two ones, very really emotional. I personally shed tears on the cancer story arc and found it to be one of the most deep and well developed emotional and psychological episode of all the manga I have read. I truly recommend this to anyone who is willing to read a realistic manga that criticizes the social system (of Japan) but also add a 'human' side to all things. One of the masterpieces.

Intensity. It can swirl over all different kinds of situations, in a heated derby between two rival teams, in a large open room covered in sweat and anxiety caused by the start of entrance exams and, most importantly, in interpersonal conflicts with your closest of friends, family and possibly their inevitable diagnosis, floating above them like the sword of Damocles. It’s almost unbearable to be part of the latter situation, being confronted with the defencelessness one must face when the bodies of our loved ones and its seemingly attached lifetime seems to flow out because of one fatal diagnosis, almost like a storm front quickly approaching the once amicable and warm shelter.
When reading ‘Black Jack ni Yoroshiku’, the realization that there couldn’t be any better way to describe the deciding majority of its depicted situations than ‘the lull before the storm’ won’t take long and through its lengthy run of 13 volumes, there is no break in intensity. Interns may change their medical department, people and faces swap but in essence, the problems and conflicts stay the same but never fail to touch and impress at the same time. And while stating this, I want to highlight that it is indeed a big shame that a Manga, covering modern problems on both the medical field/ organizations and interpersonal interactions in its spotlight, way better than any western TV-show ever could, has failed to strike any notable readership whatsoever outside of Japan. However, BJnY (which I’ll use as an abbreviation from now on) didn’t go past the eyes of the more critical audience in Japan, as it has been nominated for the ‘Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize’ in 2003 and eventually winning it in 2004, only for the author, Sato Shuho, to refuse the award because of the evident similarity and reference (even in the series’ title) to Osamu Tezuka’s ‘Black Jack’ himself. While that is of course not an automatic equivalent to quality in any degree, it’s always welcome to get more exposure thanks to a nomination and technical win like this, even if it only marginally spreads the word outside of Japan and motivates me, even more, to share the goods of this Manga as marginally as I am able to with this write-up.
Getting into BJnY during the first few chapters is not the easiest of tasks. While I was incredibly interested in the subject and possible introspection it might end up offering on its way to the conclusion, I can see many people finding ‘doctor’s introspection’ to sound boring on the first and, in fact, also on the second thought. The series starts off as a mixed bag in contrast to what it evolves later on, Dr. Saitou a freshly graduated intern from one of Japan’s considered to be elite universities in medicine gets to see the harsh and cold reality of internships in the country, working 24h shifts on the regular, with little to no help of his superiors. Having to face grave decisions unacceptably harsh for a freshman, he eventually breaks and has to face a seemingly impenetrable wall in front of him, full of corruption and antipathy in form of the organization of the hospital and insurance company he has to work in/with.
Keeping in mind, that everything I’ve described bef
