  ブラック企業ならぬブラック体…こんなところで働かなくてはいけない細胞さんたちがかわいそうです。こうはならないように…という戒めになりますで

  Black bodies, not black companies... I feel sorry for the cells that have to work in a place like this. It's a commandment saying don't let this happen...

  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.

  既読2巻　?4.5
  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?
