About Cells at Work!

Looking for background on Cells at Work! (Hataraku Saibou (TV))? This comedy and shounen series by David Production (2018) starts out like this. The premise: Inside the human body, roughly 37.2 trillion cells work energetically 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. Fresh out of training, the cheerful and somewhat airheaded Sekkekkyuu AE3803 is ready to take on the ever-so-important task of transporting oxygen.

Further in, as usual, Hakkekkyuu U-1146 is hard at work patrolling and eliminating foreign bacteria seeking to make the body their new lair. Elsewhere, little platelets are lining up for a new construction project. Dealing with wounds and allergies, getting lost on the way to the lungs, and bickering with similar cell types, the daily lives of cells are always hectic as they work together to keep the body healthy!

As a comedy title, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Think of it as a pick for viewers who want something light between heavier series.
