    An adventure set inside a human body, Cells at Work! is a fun, fast-paced manga that's even a little bit educational (kind of).

    Strep throat! Hay fever! Influenza! The world is a dangerous place for a red blood cell just trying to get her deliveries finished. Fortunately, she's not alone; she's got a whole human body's worth of cells ready to help out!

    The mysterious white blood cell, the buff and brash killer T cell, the nerdy neuron, even the cute little platelets - everyone's got to come together if they want to keep you healthy! But when you get injured, viruses or bacteria invade, or when an allergic reaction flares up, everyone from the silent but deadly white blood cells to the brainy neurons has to work together to get through the crisis!

    Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 192 pages, B&W.

    Volume 1 - 1st printing.

    Written by Shigemitsu Harada. Art and cover by Issei Hatsuyoshiya. Translated by Iyasu Adair Nagata.

    In this new spinoff of the hit manga, a newbie Red Blood Cell is one of 37 trillion working to keep this body running. But something's wrong!

    Stress hormones keep yelling at him to go faster. The blood vessels are crusted over with cholesterol. Ulcers, fatty liver, trouble (ahem) downstairs... It's hard for a cell to keep working when every day is a Code Black!

    This story stars a fresh-faced Red Blood Cell and his friend, the buxom White Blood Cell, as they struggle to keep themselves and their world together through alcoholism, smoking, erectile dysfunction, athlete's foot, gout...it's literal body horror!

    Whoever this guy is, he's lucky his cells can't go on strike!
