Hello all,
I am planning to write a fanfiction which is based on Black Jack. Black Jack is one of the popular graphic novels in Japan. Black Jack was created by Osamu Tezuka, one of the Japanese famous graphic novel creators.
The original story of Black Jack is created from the view of Black Jack, who is an illegal doctor. He cures all kinds of illnesses even if they are serious and hard for the other doctors to cure; however, he charges an enormous number of the doctor’s fees which are illegal.
One day Black Jack is asked for a lumpectomy by an anonymous woman. The tumour is unusually big, but he operates on her. He finishes operating successfully, and he finds some human’s body parts in the tumour. He creates artificial bones, looking like a little girl, and he creates a girl from the bones and the body parts that he finds in the tumour. He names her Pinoko and starts living with her. Pinoko speaks although she cannot speak properly, and she sometimes assists Black Jack with operations although she is not a good assistant.
What I am planning to write is changing Black Jack’s position and Pinoko’s position (i.e. Pinoko will be a doctor and Black Jack will be her assistant). Pinoko is a lazy person, and Black Jack is a hard worker. When they work together, Black Jack (assistant) leads Pinoko (doctor) to operate on their patient, even though it is normally the other way around. However, Pinoko has stronger power than Black Jack to control the operation, so there are always some problems. For example, Pinoko tries to postpone the operation, or she often has a break during the operation.
Does it sound alright for you? Please feel free to comment on this. Thank you :-)

Hi Hisako, I'm glad you pick the anime comics same as me. I will post it as soon as I have the clear vision but I have decided about the characters already. From your starting point I guess that Pinoko and Black Jack might be fighting though about who takes control. Good luck :)
Hi Jan,
Thank you for your comment.
Yes, make them fight during the operation will be interesting too. I'm looking forward to seeing your fanfiction idea :-)
Awesome, Hisako. I haven't read a whole Tezuka manga even in translation^-^; but I am well aware of his influence on the genre and anime ^-^
Things like the Tezuka character in Akira, etc, and influence on Miyazaki both as manga and anime creator, Otomo, Rintaro, etc.
The original plot sounds quite strange, even grotesque to me, but maybe that's a cultural predisposition. I often find Japanese manga/anime strange but captivating, and especially Miyazaki. *-*
Your gender reversal proposal sounds interesting: post me some narrative and I can respond some more. Look forward to it... Will you be making some drawings? ;)
