Cells at Work! 3



  • 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).
  • Unique setting and appealing characters will draw readers of upbeat shonen manga like One Piece and Fairy Tail.
  • A good (very general) introduction to human biology for reluctant readers.

  • Ages 13+

    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!

    Praise for Cells at Work! 3

    "There are a lot of anthropormorphized stories these days, but it's rare to see one focused on human cells, and seeing the idea realized so clearly was fantastic. It was great fun entering a world based on real research materials with defined characters based on each cell's different function." -Sirius New Age Award jury
