The Hataraku Saibou spinoff, inspired by the manga by Shigemitsu Harada and Issei Hatsuyoshiya, will take a different approach, showcasing the more courageous side of the tasks our cells perform.
Synopsis
Alcohol, cigarettes, and stress – in a body subjected to these irritants, the cells responsible for maintaining life fight an endless war. Due to a severe worker shortage, the red blood cell AA2153 needs to quickly learn how to deliver oxygen and collect carbon dioxide even in dangerous situations. Meanwhile, the white blood cell U-1196 does its part dealing with germs and viruses during life-or-death situations. In the midst of this crisis, they must work together to keep the body healthy, despite not knowing if their sacrifices will be worthwhile.
