Black Jack vol. 2

Black Jack is a mysterious and charismatic young genius surgeon who travels the world performing amazing and impossible medical feats. Though a trained physician, he refuses to accept a medical license due to his hatred and mistrust of the medical community's hypocrisy and corruption. This leads Black Jack to occasional run-ins with the authorities, as well as from gangsters and criminals who approach him for illegal operations.

Black Jack charges exorbitant fees for his services, the proceeds from which he uses to fund environmental projects and to aid victims of crime and corrupt capitalists. But because Black Jack keeps his true motives secret, his ethics are perceived as questionable and he is considered a selfish, uncaring devil.

"Black Jack in 17 volumes" refers to the complete English manga series by Osamu Tezuka, published by Vertical Comics. Each volume collects several short, episodic stories about Black Jack's life and medical feats. While the series has 17 volumes in this edition, finding all of them can be tricky as later volumes weren't always reprinted, but it's a classic medical manga.
