Shonen Champion vol. 4 (first printing)<\/p><\/div>\n

Tezuka was extremely attuned to his fans, and with Black Jack especially, was sensitive to even the slightest complaints regarding certain conditions\/diseases – especially from patients or their families. As such, in cases where he’d received negative feedback, he often felt compelled to change dialogue in, or even pull stories from, future reprints.<\/p>\n

\n

Out of the 243 total chapters of the Black Jack<\/em> manga, there are 22 chapters that have, at one time or another, been excluded from collected editions. While the majority of the excluded chapters have been held back because they were controversial or dealt with sensitive political situations, some of them have been excluded simply because Tezuka wasn’t happy with the end result.<\/p>\n

\"Illegal<\/a>

Illegal Black Jack<\/em> vol. 26<\/p><\/div>\n

Although most of the excluded chapters have eventually made it back into print in at least one Japanese edition, there are five chapters that have almost never been reprinted since they originally appeared in Weekly Shonen Champion<\/em><\/a>.<\/em> Three of these chapters are considered “sealed”, and the other two considered “semi-sealed”.<\/p>\n

Obviously, despite Tezuka’s wishes, these sealed and semi-sealed chapters are in high demand for anyone wanting to have a “complete” Black Jack<\/em>\u00a0(1973-83)<\/a> collection. \u00a0In one particular case the sealed and semi-sealed chapters, as well as three other excluded chapters, were reprinted illegally by a Japanese Tezuka fan in a pirated volume known as “Black Jack 26”. \u00a0Printed with a professional-seeming cover, it was made to match the original 25-volume Sh\u014dnen Champion<\/em> edition. \u00a0The man who made the edition copied the chapters from his own personal collection of the original serialized issues, and offered the illegal volume for \u00a5100,000 per copy (roughly $1,000). \u00a0He sold two copies before he was caught by the police and fined \u00a5300,000 by the Tokyo court in March 2003.<\/p>\n
