Download or read book Blackjack Deluxe T15 written by Osamu Tezuka and published by Crunchyroll. This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chirurgien sans diplôme opérant dans la clandestinité, personnage ténébreux, génial et hors-la-loi, Black Jack passe sa vie à sauver celle des autres. Tezuka, lui-même médecin, s'exprime à travers son personnage. Chaque nouveau cas est, pour l'auteur, l'occasion de dévoiler un regard acéré, sans concessions sur la nature humaine... et pourtant profondément humaniste, malgré son apparente dureté. Chaque épisode de Black Jack est une fable noire et superbe sur la condition humaine. Here comes the man in black... Considéré comme l'un des chefs-d'oeuvre d'Osamu Tezuka, Black Jack est aussi la série la plus conséquente du fondateur du manga moderne. Depuis sa création, de nombreux auteurs de manga rendent régulièrement hommage à ce personnage mythique : Naoki Urasawa (Monster), Akihito Yoshitomi (Ray) Eiji Ohtsuka et You Kinutani (Leviathan) ou encore Shuho Satô (Say Hello to Black Jack). Un des plus grands classiques du manga, régulièrement adapté en animé (la dernière adaptation en date est une série T.V. diffusée au Japon depuis fin 2004). La lecture de Tezuka rejoint ici ce que les plus grands auteurs ont cherché à atteindre : émouvoir son prochain, le remettre en question et finalement l'inviter à s'élever vers ce qu'il porte en lui de meilleur, de plus juste et de plus haut... De plus humain. Un must à ne pas rater pour tous les amateurs de bandes dessinées et pour les fans de Tezuka !
