The hugely popular manga "Cells at Work! BLACK" is a spin-off of the well-known "Cells at Work!" series. Unlike the generally heartwarming "Cells at Work!" series, "Cells at Work! BLACK" features some serious plot twists. This article introduces a ranking of the most popular characters from "Cells at Work! BLACK." Is your favorite character on the list? Let's take a look now.
Popular Character Ranking #5: White Blood Cell
White Blood Cell is a white blood cell with a different role from the heroine's white blood cell. She first appeared in Volume 3. She has a slightly tsundere personality and is slightly smaller in bust than the heroine, White Blood Cell. She also boasts overwhelming strength, as befits a white blood cell, and once helped Red Blood Cell with bacteria attacking him. Despite all that, she cares about Red Blood Cell.
White Blood Cell-chan
Red Blood Cell was the first to call her "White Blood Cell-chan." Though she denied it, saying, "Who called me 'chan'?", she continued to call him that.
Popular Character Ranking #4: Red Blood Cell (Protagonist)
Next up is the protagonist, Red Blood Cell. Red Blood Cell initially enters the body as a new recruit, but gradually begins to realize that his workplace is a very shady place. Despite feeling despair in the harsh working environment, his dedication to hard work has many readers rooting for him. He's a handsome young man with glasses and a serious personality.
Growing
As the red blood cells grow in these harsh conditions, they are transfused into another body in Chapter 2, along with the heroine, white blood cell. Now a leader in their new bodies, red blood cells must now face new challenges, including diabetes and caffeine addiction. What will happen to them in their new bodies?
Popular Character Ranking #3: Platelets
When it comes to platelets, many fans probably think of "Platelet-chan," with her adorable kindergarten-like appearance. She's always carrying a flag and was a very popular character in the "Cells at Work!" series. Platelets also appear in "Cells at Work! BLACK." However, even in the anime trailer, she doesn't smile, instead sporting a gloomy expression. What exactly is Platelet-chan's role in "BLACK"?
Appearances are Very Few
Though the platelets are popular in the main series due to their cuteness, they appear very rarely in "Cells at Work! BLACK." The heartwarming atmosphere of the main series is almost completely absent in "BLACK," so the healing platelets probably don't get much play. Platelets originally serve the purpose of sealing wounds, so in the original "Cells at Work!", they appear in cases of scratches and other injuries. However, in "Cells at Work! BLACK," there are various other issues that limit their appearances. When she first appeared in "Cells at Work! BLACK," she was fighting gonorrhea. The fact that such a cute platelet had to fight gonorrhea shows just how dark and cruel this world is.
Most Popular Character Ranking #2: Hepatocytes
Next in second place are hepatocytes found in the liver. In this world, the liver plays the role of a downtown area in the human world. The stem cells working there are like hostesses, beautiful women dressed in sexy dresses. These stem cells are responsible for removing alcohol from cells. The liver's primary function is to break down alcohol into acetaldehyde, and then acetaldehyde into acetic acid. In episode 2 of "Cells at Work! BLACK," a red blood cell that had become intoxicated due to its owner's drinking was brought to the liver.
They take pride in their work
Stem cell work can be challenging, but they take pride in their work. It's very cool to see a woman working with such confidence. The red blood cells were completely healed after having the alcohol removed by the sexy liver cells. However, they also feel tired at times.
Most Popular Character Ranking: White Blood Cell
And taking the top spot is White Blood Cell, the heroine of "Cells at Work! BLACK." She's a sexy, cool beauty with impressive combat abilities. However, she also seems to believe she needs to remain cool in order to complete her job, and she's a kind, older sister-like character in her everyday life. Her uniform is often the wrong size, and she has large breasts that are often unbuttoned. Her sexy battle scenes have also garnered popularity. Incidentally, the original author himself is said to be White Blood Cell's favorite.
Do you like Red Blood Cell?
White Blood Cell is depicted as having feelings for Red Blood Cell. In the original "Cells at Work!", the relationship between Red Blood Cell and White Blood Cell somehow ended up becoming close, and this is no exception. While "Cells at Work! BLACK" generally has many serious and hopeless scenes, including some gory elements, many people find the relationship between Red Blood Cell and White Blood Cell to be a soothing one.
