The February issue of Akita Shoten’s Bessatsu Young Champion magazine announced on Thursday that Yū-Go Ōkuma and Yoshiaki Tabata’s Young Black Jack manga will resume in the fifth issue of the main Young Champion magazine on February 13.
The manga is a prequel to Black Jack, Osamu Tezuka’s classic series about a brilliant maverick doctor who practices without a license.
The prequel follows Black Jack when he was still a young, unorthodox medical student in 1968.
Ōkuma and Tabata launched the manga in Young Champion in November 2011.
