Manga: Midnight
Both manga are by the same author also the is main characters are very alike in personalty. They are both unlicensed 'help' people in there own ways but usually for a high price

Manga: The Chef
Both The Chef and Black Jack have a serious, stoic main character (they even look the same sans the scars) who travels around to fix problems. For the wealthy, they charge an obscene amount. It's probably safe to assume The Chef will have poor clients in later chapters who won't get charged for his fixing service. The art style is also quite similar and this can be a nice change for those who want to look at medicine rather than food and vice versa.

Manga: Black Jack ni Yoroshiku
A doctor with his own vision and moral values meets various patients and we're shown both the medical process and their life stories, as the cases offer general life lessons.

Manga: Kounodori
Episodic medical manga--Black Jack is more of a generalist surgeon, and his stories can be more fantastical, while Kounodori focuses entirely on obstetrics and the cases are more grounded in reality. Life philosophy and ethics differ between the two physicians, so it's fun to compare and contrast the approaches they take. 
reportRecommended by Goblyn
Manga: Dr. Duo
Both manga involve practicing medicine. BlackJack is the "original" medical manga while Dr Duo is interesting because it has younger characters and supernatural elements  
reportRecommended by Hana-Lu
Manga: Uchuu Kaizoku Captain Herlock
They depict a gruff, black-cloaked, scar-faced man and his thrilling life as an outcast from the law. Appearances aside, he has a strong moral code and sense of justice that inspires people that he meets and encourages them to pursue their dreams. The protagonist dislikes the greedy bigwigs who plague the Japanese medical society and government, and makes a point of giving them a hard time through his extra-legal endeavours.

Manga: Hi no Tori (1967)
These are two of Osamu Tezuka's greatest works. Both are mature, artistically inventive and both series speak about important issues whilst staying entertaining. 
reportRecommended by TVC15
Manga: Tetsuwan Atom
Both are long episodic works by Tezuka. In both cases the protagonist is somewhat super-human, be it robot or gifted surgeon, and promotes the triumph of good over evil.  
reportRecommended by ejala
Manga: Monster
Doctors, the value of life. Black Jack contains several short stories, Monster is featured in one long, thrilling plot. 
reportRecommended by drf
Manga: Mushishi
Both are about a travelling doctors (of sorts) that help cure people of their unusual problems. Both are episodic works that are reflective and maturely told.  
reportRecommended by TVC15
Manga: Eat-Man
Episodic stories in which a man comes across as a greedy jerk but has good intentions and a kind nature. They're each very well written and are lots of fun. 
reportRecommended by Danish
