Synopsis Black Jack is an "unregistered" doctor with a clouded, mysterious past. He works with his little assistant Pinoko (who has a massive crush on the doctor), dealing with medical cases not very well known, which can be strange, dangerous, or not known at all. But he is a genius, and can save almost any of his patients' lives (as long as they have the money for it, that is), and is known to many around the world, especially to those of medicine and science. He's a man of science himself, and does not believe much until he has seen it, yet it is many times he is surprised by love and nature often overpowering the science he bases his life in.

The English presentation of Oishinbo has much in common with Black Jack. Unassociated short stories create the back bone of the volumes, covering a range of topics, yet never leaving the reader feeling out of the loop. Though at times more comedic than the life and death tales of Black Jack, the serious edge isn't lost. The main character is an expert in his field, going about food preparation with the same precision as BJ approaches an operation. The stories can be a bit fantastical, as with any manga, but they are firmly grounded in reality, bringing real world knowledge to the reader in an enjoyable and relateable form, allowing for understanding without lacking technical jargon. Overall this manga leaves one refreshed, better for reading, learning without boredom, left with a bit better understanding of a foreign food and culture.
