User Recommendations for Black Jack

Both series are about a kick ass doctor who goes around saving people/performing operation. But it's more about the characters, then each operations. They also both have a little kid who follows them around (although the little girl in "Black Jack" is actually a tumor...yeah don't ask). Urasawa clearly likes Tezuka A LOT, given his "PLUTO" manga, so it's not a stretch to say "Black Jack" goes along nicely with "Monster". I also find Dezaki's directing style to be very cinematic in it's aproach, like Urasawa's manga, or Kojima's anime. Both series are mature, thrilling, suspenseful, dark, and graphic at times. They

Shows about a travelling doctor with psychological and philosophical undertones. The difference is that the protagonist of Monster isn't on foot by choice, but rather due to persecution.
