Black Jack - Plant Man (Vegetable)

[grapeofdeath]

It says on the site that Plant Man (Vegetable) 植物人間 has never been collected into a volume. I have the first printing of volume 4 and it's in my book:

Perhaps it's in the early printings and not the later ones?

That's correct. Vegetable was included in the first printing (I have a Japanese scan of the story for reference), but I believe that's the only place it has been re-printed.

I'd imagine that volume 4 was tough to come by, no?

I read on place that it seems to exist through the 18th printing:

There's quite a few up on Yahoo Japan Auctions right now. I got mine for $10. Here's another at the same price:

It was actually more expensive (about $5 more) to find The Wall. I ended up going with ATC ブラック・ジャック 死にゆくものへの祈り編 so I wouldn't have to worry about an insert.

Do you have the e-comics version of Black Jack? I have it, but I can't get it to play on my computer. I'm curious to know which chapters they included in the 4 volume set.
