Another great collection of short stories in graphic format, Black Jack Vol. 7 could be said to be the most emotional volume in Tezuka's most famous drama.
"A Cat and Shozo," and "Guys and Birds" both show the innocence of animals and the perceptions of their fellow humans. "Shozo" is especially sweet, showing a man in the throes of mental illness who abides heartbreak to continue on in a blissfully ignorant way. Similarly, "A Hill for One" and "Goribei..." also show the friction between animal and human relations, both showcasing larger animals in peril.
"The Two Pinokos" as well as "Kuroshio: A Memoir" both have children suffering, which brings about both the most vitriolic and compassionate sides of BJ. The latter is especially touching, one of the best of the series, moving your ideas about BJ from 'hateful' to 'kind' in the passage of just a couple dozen pages. It's the dichotomy of BJ's "thievery" and gift-giving that gives him a certain pathos and charm.
"Hurricane" and "Timeout" are both disaster/horror pieces that involve death approaching in a timely manner, with only BJ having the correct answer to the problem. With Tezuka's prolific output, maybe he himself felt a bit like being trapped under beams, dismembered when necessary, and wishing someone like BJ was to save him. If only the world had such a man.
Essential volume!

this series is fine, but reading so many 20-page episodes so quickly is dulling the impact of any single installment, i believe. c'est la vie. such is the life of the content consumer, alas

If you've been following the series along to this point, you are more than familiar with the characters and themes of the manga. If you haven't, then don't worry- one of the strong points of the Black Jack series is that you can pick up any volume in the series & know what is going on. While some stories do give more background to the characters & situations, each chapter is an individual story unto themselves. (Although reading just one of the volumes is like listening to just one piece of a symphony- you can enjoy it, but you miss out on the overall experience.)
This volume, if I had to label it, would be the sad & sweet volume. The volume opens up with some rather sad tales, such as a sister who would do anything for her badly hurt brother... even if it means putting herself in danger. The tales do get a little sweeter as the volume progresses with a tale about a man who has lost his family & believes a trio of cats to be his dead wife & children, but overall many of the stories are a little sad. (They're more cheery than some of the other stories in previous volumes, though!) That isn't to say that they're all depressing- there's a pretty great story in here concerning the president of a huge company & a common construction worker that should warm the heart.
I really do enjoy the Black Jack series. As always, the feats in the manga really aren't feasible in many cases, but the storytelling is so great that you just really don't care. One of the things I really liked in this volume is that there's a lot of character background in it. You learn a little more about Black Jack's past & you get to see who Black Jack based Pinoko's face on. There's some translation notes on a few of the pages, which really helped on some occasions when some of the references got beyond my limited knowledge of Japanese culture.
If you've been collecting the series, I really don't have to tell you what makes this series so great. If you haven't, then you are really missing out. If Higurashi is my favorite thriller manga, Black Jack is my favorite drama manga. I'll be a little sad when Vertical eventually releases the final volume in 2011- this manga really takes you for one great ride. But then, what can you expect from Tezuka, other than the absolute best?
