"Cells at Work! BLACK" is a spin-off of "Cells at Work!". Set inside the body of a man who works for a black company, the story depicts the cells working tirelessly day after day. In this work, the cells themselves are forced to work in a black labor environment, and they do their best to protect their bodies from danger while sadly watching over their colleagues as they die tragically. It has been decided that "Cells at Work! BLACK" will be made into an anime in 2021. In this article, we will introduce the heroine of "Cells at Work! BLACK," the white blood cell. What kind of character is she?
The heroine of "Cells at Work! BLACK"! What exactly is the white blood cell?
Compared to the original "Cells at Work!", "Cells at Work! BLACK" is a much more serious work. The heroine is a white blood cell. In the original, the red blood cell is the female protagonist, and the white blood cell is the male character, but in "Cells at Work! BLACK," the situation is reversed. The heroine's white blood cell is one of the cellular components contained in blood, and its role is to eliminate bacteria, viruses, and cells that have outlived their usefulness. In the work, white blood cells are often covered in blood after fighting enemies.
Why are they called neutrophils?
In both the main series "Cells at Work!" and the "Black" series, white blood cells are sometimes referred to as "neutrophils." This is because neutrophils account for 50-70% of white blood cells and gather at sites of bacterial infection to ingest them. Incidentally, pus sometimes comes out of the body; this is the remains of the neutrophils that fought the infection. Incidentally, in the "Cells at Work" world, among the various white blood cells, the character with "White Blood Cell" written in large letters on their hat is referred to as the neutrophil. When other characters simply say "White Blood Cell," they are usually referring to the neutrophil. This shows that neutrophils are the most representative of all white blood cells.
What kind of character is White Blood Cell?
What kind of characters are the white blood cells in "Cells at Work! BLACK"? They are reliable agents who eliminate bacteria that invade the body, making them an indispensable presence in the body. Even the main character, the red blood cell, has been helped by white blood cells many times.
White Blood Cell's Appearance
White Blood Cell is a cool, beautiful woman. She wears a hat with the word "White Blood Cell" emblazoned in large letters, a mark of her status as a neutrophil. Other similarities with the original White Blood Cell include only one eye covered by her hair and an overall pale appearance. However, her biggest difference is her uniquely feminine, sexy aura. Her breasts are so large that her uniform is unbuttoned, and her sexy fighting style is truly indicative of a work aimed at adults. Incidentally, there are other White Blood Cells besides the heroine White Blood Cell, but most of them still have their uniforms unbuttoned and fight in a sexy state. "Cells at Work! BLACK" is targeted at a higher target audience than other "Cells at Work!" series, which is likely why it's portrayed this way.

Here's the male version of the original white blood cell. Looking at it this way, you can see that there are some similarities in appearance. The original white blood cell is also cool, strong, and very attractive. However, this white blood cell is generally cool, but when it comes to red blood cells, his character breaks down, which is quite amusing. Considering this, the white blood cell in "Cells at Work! BLACK" maintains a cool character, perhaps because of the harsh environment he lives in. The second season of the original "Cells at Work!" series is scheduled to be adapted into an anime in 2021, the same year as "Cells at Work!", so I'm really looking forward to it!
The "Cells at Work!" version of White Blood Cell drawn by the original author is also wonderful!
According to Akane Shimizu, the original author of the original "Cells at Work!" series, "Black White Blood Cell" is "one of my favorite characters in all the manga I've ever read." Shimizu's drawing of White Blood Cell is also wonderful!
What is White Blood Cell's personality like?
White Blood Cell's personality is, as you'd expect, a cool beauty. However, the author has stated that this is merely an effort to live up to her name as White Blood Cell, and that she is actually a very caring older sister. When you think about it that way, you can see that White Blood Cell is not just cool, but also has a cute side. While she may act cool only at work, that may not be the case on a normal day. In fact, she does show a kind side, especially towards Red Blood Cell. This was also the case with White Blood Cell in the main story. White Blood Cell is probably naturally caring and kind. The contrast with her cool appearance is fascinating!
Incredibly strong white blood cells! Defeating the enemy
When it comes to white blood cells in the world of "Cells at Work," one word can be used to describe them: simply strong! They mow down enemies with incredible force, and their incredible predatory powers sometimes make other cells fear them. However, they fulfill their mission, and are fascinating not only for their physical abilities, but also for their mental strength.
Devout the enemy through phagocytosis
White blood cells use phagocytosis to ingest and disassemble enemies (such as bacteria) into their bodies. This scene is quite shocking, and many viewers were probably shocked. In the original "Cells at Work" series, there was a scene where a male white blood cell ate cedar pollen, but it wasn't as grotesque.
The scene encouraging the red blood cells is so gentle!
The red blood cell and white blood cell seem to have a friendly relationship, but the scene where the white blood cell encourages the red blood cell became a hot topic. This is where the white blood cell's kindness really comes through.
What is the relationship between the two? Does the white blood cell like the red blood cell?
Even in the original "Cells at Work!" series, many viewers were anxiously watching the relationship between the white blood cell and the red blood cell. Their relationship in "Cells at Work! BLACK" is also intriguing! White blood cell seems to be interested in the red blood cell, often smiling at him and blushing while talking. He also seems jealous, becoming sulky when the red blood cell and the hepatocyte (who acts like a hostess in BLACK's body) are having a fun conversation. It was a rare scene, as the white blood cell rarely expresses such feelings. It will be interesting to see what happens to these two.
Are there other white blood cells?
There are countless cells in the body. Red blood cells aren't the only main characters, and the same goes for white blood cells. White blood cells aren't just heroines; there are many other characters. What kind of cells are they?
White Blood Cell-chan
Aside from the heroine, this is the white blood cell who appears the most. Also known as "White Blood Cell-chan," she appears in a scene where a red blood cell, who had arrived through a granulocyte transfusion, is attacked by bacteria and rescues it. She seems to care about the red blood cell. She also has a tsundere personality, and although her breasts are slightly smaller than the heroine's white blood cell, she is also quite strong, just like the other white blood cells. Incidentally, she doesn't seem to particularly like being called "White Blood Cell-chan."

Unlike the male White Blood Cells in the original "Cells at Work!" series, White Blood Cell is a distinctive female and sexy character.
