Synopsis: White Blood Cell, Red Blood Cell, Macrophage, and the cute little Platelets face a threat unlike any they've ever dealt with before: COVID-19! But even this threat can be defeated, as long as everyone works together. The uplifting and informative series comes to a close with one last tour of the hardworking body, featuring "left shift" in the blood, retinal degeneration, and a simple bump on the noggin. But, of course, as long as there's a job to do, this team won't quit!

My rating: ★★★★☆

In this last volume of the series 😭, the first chapter revolved around a bump on the head and what happens internally in that situation. I’ll tell you what happens: the little platelets being adorable and working together 🥹

Synopsis: THE GUTS TO GET THE JOB DONE

Life’s not easy for a workaday cell, and amid all the hustle and bustle it takes to keep the human body going, it can be hard to know who’s an enemy and who’s a friend. You might think all germs are bad, but it turns out some bacteria aren’t just friendly, they’re downright essential (not to mention cuddly)! In fact, when an old nemesis returns, it might just be those friendly, cuddly bacteria that help save the day. The saga of life inside you continues!

My rating: ★★★★☆

In this week’s episode of Cells at Work! 😆 we are looking at H. Pylori, angiogenic shift, Cytokines, harmful bacteria, and the return of the cancer cells...

This series is so much fun! I have loved the anime for such a long time, and I am really glad to finally be getting into the manga! I love it! It’s just so cute and informative, and it honestly does a relatively decent job of explaining medical things and making them easy to understand using these anthropomorphic cells.

It has been a minute since I last read a manga, but I was very excited to read this one because I loved the anime when I watched it a couple years back. And the manga was just as good!
