Black Jack accepts a three million dollar fee from the young and beautiful Sayuri Crossword to treat Manabis Crossword (the Chairman of the Carosan Corporation and Sayuri's husband) on isolated windswept Raoski Island. Black Jack arrives to find a frail old man, wracked with painful spasms as all the water drains from his body leaving him weak from dehydration. Eighty doctors could find no cause, but Jack discovers that he has Kimaira, a disease endemic to the island and supposedly dormant for 150 years. However it actually surfaced 60 years earlier, infecting the Crossword family who were all killed by the villagers except the young Manabis. Manabis asks Black Jack to operate on him during a spasm to find the cause of the disease. Black Jack agrees and discovers that the Kimaira virus just as Manabis dies enabling a cure to be developed.

Synopsis

Kuroo Hazama, also known as "Black Jack," is a legend in the medical world. Famous for being one of the best, as well as not having a license, Hazama and his assistant Pinoko save countless lives that other doctors cannot... for a price; an exorbitant price, in fact, which causes many to view the genius as greedy and heartless. Despite these claims, however, none can deny his skill and the lengths that he will go to treat his patients. This dark medical drama tells the story of the ominous and mysterious world of underground medicine as Black Jack risks his life to cure some of the most bizarre diseases imaginable, even if it means breaking every law in the process.
