Talking about the anime "Cells at Work!" 🩸🦠
The original work is a manga by Akane Shimizu, which has concluded and has a total of 6 volumes. The anime aired its first season in 2018 and its second season in 2021, with a total of 21 episodes across both seasons. The story is set inside the human body, personifying cells like red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, depicting their daily efforts to keep the body functioning properly. Red blood cells are responsible for transporting oxygen, white blood cells fight against pathogens, and platelets handle hemostasis, each fulfilling their roles. When bacteria, viruses, or other crises occur, how will the cells respond? I think the most interesting part of this series is how it turns potentially dry biological knowledge into a lively story. Not only are the characters cute and the plot engaging, but you also learn a lot while watching! And through the perspective of the cells, you realize how difficult it is to maintain good health. Seeing them work so hard every day makes me think I should be more careful and try not to get injured, so I don't make the cells run around frantically 🤣 It's an entertaining work that combines entertainment and knowledge, allowing you to re-understand your own body! 😆

There's also a dark version later. Due to the editing, Akane Shimizu developed a mental illness like trichotillomania. It should probably be considered an anxiety disorder. The reason is that the editor didn't hire a medical supervisor for her, and then when the anime came out, she was criticized for not following medical knowledge in some parts. However, she bought many medical books and was very dedicated to writing this manga.
