Last July 7, the internet was blessed with these cute animations of the human cells at work. With two episodes and five volumes of manga, Cells at Work! (Hataraku Saibou) continues on captivating its audience while also teaching them the basics about biology.

Written and illustrated by Akane Shimizune, the story revolves around the day-to-day adventure of the Red Blood Cell, AE3803 together with the other anthropomorphize cells within the body who work tirelessly 24/7. On the first episode, the scene opened with the terrorizing invasion of the Pneumococcus within the artery where our protagonist is currently making her delivery of nutrients. But when she was about to get killed, the brute and brash (but ridiculously adorable) U-1146 the White Blood Cell saved the day. However, one of the viruses slipped away.
As White Blood Cell head on to find that sneaky virus, their comedic and action-packed journey left the audience craving for more.
