Over the winter, Japan celebrated the 50th anniversary of one
of Osamu Tezuka's most beloved characters: Black
Jack! And since it's one of my favorite manga, you
know I had to do a podcast episode to celebrate! Joining me, on
loan from the Anime World Order Podcast is fellow podcaster
& Black Jack fan Clarissa! Listen as we
talk about Black Jack's history, his similarities with Tezuka
himself, and just why we love this iconic manga doctor as we
try to convince you to give this wild medical manga a try.
