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Midnight is one of Tezuka's iconic late-career works, many fans have long eagerly awaited the volume release of its unpublished episodes, which remained unknown for 35 years since their initial publication.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.
