Written and illustrated by Shūhō Satō, the series began serialization in Kodansha's Morning magazine in 2002.[2] It concluded its serialization in 2005.[3] Its individual chapters were collected into thirteen tankōbon volumes, released from June 21, 2002,[4] to January 23, 2006.[5]

A sequel, titled Shin Black Jack ni Yoroshiku (新ブラックジャックによろしく, Shin Burakku Jakku ni Yoroshiku), also written and illustrated by Satō, began serialization in Shogakukan's Big Comic Spirits magazine on January 22, 2007.[1] It completed its serialization on July 17, 2010.[6] Its individual chapters were collected into nine tankōbon volumes, released from February 28, 2007,[7] to September 30, 2010.[8]

In April 2012, Satō canceled his contract with Kodansha and warned that any remaining copies in bookstores were "illegal publications".[9] In August, Satō began allowing free secondary use of the title, allowing people to "use the original work to create editions in foreign languages, films, applications, anime, and more without any royalty payments", effectively putting the series in public domain.[2][10] In February 2013, Satō said he has made ¥100 million since allowing secondary use.[11]

In 2010, it was reported that Niconico was working with Satō to translate the series into English.[12] The series became available in English on Amazon Kindle following Satō allowing free secondary use.[13]
