In the anime s story, there were once many heroes who saved the world from Destruction. Time has since passed, and young men and women who have the title of Successor awaken powers from the heroes of old, and are entrusted with the fate of the world. The Seven Knights are a group of top Successors. Among the Seven Knights is a young woman named Faria, who is fighting against the troops of Destruction. In the midst of this battle, she saves a young man named Nemo. Nemo then awakens the power of a Successor, but no one knows of the hero whose powers he has inherited.
Kodansha Comics is publishing the manga, and it describes the story:
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!
The manga and anime
Cells at Work! showed you what happens when a young, healthy body gets in trouble. but what if the body wasn t so young, and was never very healthy? This new take 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!
