This collection of phantom works features 11 chapters collected here for the first time, as well as Black Jack's final appearance drawn by Tezuka! This volume contains 11 stories from the 67-chapter Midnight serialization in Weekly Shounen Champion from 1986 to 1987 that were never included in volume releases, plus three chapters featuring Black Jack in a crucial role in the final chapter. Presented in the same format as previous Rittorsha Tezuka publications: large B5 size matching the original format, high-definition printing, and valuable end-of-volume materials. While Midnight is one of Tezuka's iconic late-career works, many fans have long eagerly awaited the volume release of its unpublished episodes, which remained unknown for 35 years since their initial publication. This volume is a phantom collection containing those 14 episodes, and it is also the last work Osamu Tezuka drew featuring Black Jack. Furthermore, the end-of-volume materials include original cover art for all 67 episodes, volume cover art, preview cuts, and existing manuscripts of Drive-R, the prototype for Midnight, along with commentary and explanations. This structure allows readers to fully enjoy the appeal of Midnight. (Source: Rittorsha, translated)
In a corner of a continent, a kingdom was divided into seven major cities, each led by a princess who was supposedly the illegitimate children of the previous king. One of them, a nine-year old orphan, was chosen as the princess of Nanamiya Kasen. She was supported by the warrior General Ten Huo and his military strategist Toel Tau. She realizes that both of them are liars in varying magnitudes and their true intentions are unknown, but she went along with their plans as they cheerfully told her that the three of them will take over the entire kingdom. However, when she turned twelve, the neighboring city of Tsudumi began its invasion of Kasen....... This is a story about a girl who is tossed about by the currents of fate, but who faces her own destiny with sincerity.
