Good news to fans of Cells at Work: the hit anime series about the anthropomorphized cells of the human body is coming back for a second season! This was announced in the official Twitter account of the Cells at Work anime. Details about the new season such as staff and premiere date are yet to be announced.
The series’ first season produced by David Productions aired from July to September of last year. It was directed by Kenichi Suzuki (JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Drifters) with Yuuko Kakihara (Persona 4 the Animation) in charge of series composition. The script was collaborated on by both Suzuki and Kakihara.
The animé depicts their daily activities and respective responsibilities as cells in the human body. It was subsequently adapted into animé by David Productions, and was arguably one of the most-talked about shows in 2018. The anime series was also hailed by most because of its easy-to-understand and fun presentation of the processes inside the human body. Its success among fans had led to a stage play adaptation that ran last November, and a mobile game entitled Itsudemo Hataraku Saibou which was released in Japan last March 23. As of this writing, there is still no news of a global version for the game.
Written and illustrated by Akane Shimizu, Cells at Work was first serialized in Kodansha’s Monthly Shonen Sirius in 2015. It features the anthropomorphized cells of the human body, with the story mostly told from the perspective of a clumsy but lovable Red Blood Cell along with her reliable friend Neutrophil, who almost always ends up saving her from pathogens.
