絶望が絶望をぬりかえる漫画

A comic where despair reproduces despair

This review contains spoilers. 「はたらく細胞」のスピンオフ。BLACKと付いている通り、細胞たちは不健康な身体のなかブラックな労働環境ではたらく。痔瘻、睡眠時無呼吸症候群、帯状疱疹、糖尿病…など、ストレスと疎かな食事睡眠運動により引き起こされる健康問題を細胞目線で描いている。主人公の赤血球くんは脱核してまもないころから散々な目に遭うのだが、それってよくよく考えると宿主(赤血球のいる身体の持ち主)はそれだけ病気を頻発しているわけで。いやもうそれ以上罹ると身体は耐えきれないのでは…というところでまさかの献血をしてその後輸血され、新天地では体内環境はもっと最悪だった…という展開には思わず笑った。そしてそこで病気のフルコンボ。トラウマどころの騒ぎじゃありませんね。自分の身体を大事にしようと思いました。ちなみにr18とまではいいませんが、所々いかがわしいシーンがあるので注意です。1巻の2話や4話は人前で読むのを避けたほうがいいです。

This review contains spoilers. A spin-off of “Cells at Work.” As BLACK is attached, cells work in a black work environment in an unhealthy body. It depicts health problems caused by stress and poor diet, sleep, and exercise from a cellular perspective, such as hemorrhoids, fistula, sleep apnea syndrome, shingles, diabetes, etc. The main character, Akikyuku-kun, has had a lot of problems since shortly after his enucleation, but if you think about it carefully, the host (the owner of a body with red blood cells) has had such frequent illnesses. I couldn't help laughing at the development that no, if I got sick more than that, my body wouldn't be able to endure it... I unexpectedly donated blood and was then transfused, and the internal environment was even worse in Shintenchi... And then there's the full combo of illness. It's not a traumatic commotion, is it? I wanted to take care of my body. By the way, it's not as good as R18, but be careful because there are some suspicious scenes. You should avoid reading episodes 2 or 4 of volume 1 in public.

2 volumes already read? 4.5

人の体を構成する細胞の数は37兆個⬆️（代謝交換3000億個/日）そんな体に共生？している菌は100兆個程消化を助けてくれたり、免疫機能の調整をしてくれたり、病原菌の侵入を防いでくれたり、と役に立つ存在。多くは母親から受け継ぐそう、人は子を成し遺伝情報を繋げそれに付随して、「菌」も生きてきたのが面白い。　?　?　?『あなたは一人じゃないの』　・・・慰めにはならんかぁ?‍♂️　?　?　?因みに、地球上の微生物の個体数の推定値は　『415〜615×10の28乗』　万・億・兆・京・垓・秭・『穣』⬅️（沢山?）プラスチックを分解できる微生物が発見されているのも、　「地球の意思」かしら?

The number of cells that make up the human body is 37 trillion ⬆️ (300 billion metabolic exchanges per day) coexisting in such a body? The bacteria are useful, helping digestion of about 100 trillion pieces, regulating immune function, and preventing the invasion of pathogens. It seems that most of them are inherited from mothers, and it is interesting that humans have formed children, connected genetic information, and “bacteria” have also lived along with it. ? ? ? “Aren't you alone”... isn't that comforting? ♂️? ? ? Incidentally, the estimated number of microbial populations on Earth is “415 to 615 x 10 to the 28th power” 10,000 billion, trillion, Jing, Gai, Zi, “” ⬅️ (a lot?) I wonder if it is “the will of the Earth” that microorganisms that can decompose plastics have been discovered?

現代社会を現している

It shows modern society

This review contains spoilers. すごい。はたらく細胞が好きで、いくつか読みました。が、これはまさに、現代社会の象徴的な感じと思いました。ややこしい社会に揉まれて、ストレスからのストレス発散による、喫煙、飲酒、暴飲暴食からの身体への負担による症状、病の数々。この悪循環に悩まされている方は、たくさんいると思います。この物語を読んで、少しでも、身体を労って欲しいと思いました。

This review contains spoilers. That's amazing. I like Cells at Work, and I've read a few. However, I thought this was truly a symbolic feeling of modern society. There are many symptoms and illnesses due to the burden on the body from smoking, drinking alcohol, and binge eating due to stress relief from stress due to complicated society. I think there are many people who are suffering from this vicious cycle. After reading this story, I wanted them to take care of themselves, even a little bit.

汚れてる肺の衝撃

The impact of dirty lungs

読んで、不摂生はダメだなと思った。まさに、「健康は富に勝る」結構前に禁煙した体って設定なのに、肺ベトベトで衝撃だった。体の持ち主が、再びタバコ吸ったら細胞達が苦しんでる描写が。喫煙すると体内で血管や細胞があんなになるのか・・・細胞達の勤務形態が非常にブラックだけど、この体の持ち主もストレス溜まってるみたいだし体内がボロボロなので、本人もブラック企業で働いてる中高年なのかな？

When I read it, I thought it was no good to be an unscrupulous person. Exactly, “Health is better than wealth,” even though it was set up in a body where I quit smoking quite a while ago, my lungs were sticky and shocking. There is a depiction of cells suffering when the owner of the body smokes again. Do blood vessels and cells become like that in the body when you smoke... the working style of the cells is very black, but the owner of this body also seems to be stressed and his body is in tatters, so I wonder if the person himself is also a middle-aged and elderly person working for a black company?

かわいそう

That's a pity

This review contains spoilers. ブラック人体ではたらく細胞たちがかわいそうになってしまって、体にやさしくしないといけないなぁと反省はするものの、この漫画ではずーーっとプラックなので読んでてきつくなってきます。そういえば最近あんまり野菜食べてないな・・・

This review contains spoilers. Black I feel sorry for the cells that work in the human body, and although I regret that I have to be kind to my body, it's getting tough to read since it's always been a plack in this comic. Speaking of which, I haven't eaten much vegetables lately...

重いけど面白い

Heavy but interesting

もともと「はたらく細胞」を全巻読んでいたので、初めて「はたらく細胞BLACK」を読んだ時は、一気に雰囲気が変わってまさに「ブラック企業」だなと思いました。でも、最初は絶望していた主人公が、どんどん仕事頑張ろう！！という気持ちになっていくのが励まされます。私も赤血球たちの環境が良くなるように体調管理しっかりしようという気持ちになります。また、はたらく細胞は体内のことを沢山知ることが出来ます。BLACKでは、もとのはたらく細胞には書いていない少しマニアックなことが知れるので、ためにもなるし、面白いです！

I originally read the entire volume of “Cells at Work,” so when I first read “Cells at Work BLACK,” the atmosphere changed all at once and I thought it was truly a “black company.” But the main character, who was hopeless at first, is going to work harder and harder!! It's encouraging that I'm starting to feel like that. I also feel like I'm going to manage my physical condition well so that the environment for red blood cells improves. Also, working cells can learn a lot about the body. In BLACK, you can see slightly geeky things that aren't written in the original working cells, so it's instructive and interesting!

ブラック企業勤めの人の身体の中、というテーマで、不摂生をすると身体がどうなってるのか、よくやっている事なのでより身近に感じました。

The theme is the inside of the body of people who work for black companies, and I felt more familiar with what happens to the body when they are underdeveloped because it is something they do well.
