The manga has inspired several spinoff series such as Hataraku Saikin (Bacteria at Work), Hatarakanai Saibō (Cells That Don’t Work), Cells at Work! Code Black (Hataraku Saibō Black), Hataraku Saibō Friend, Hataraku Kesshōban-chan (Platelets at Work), Hataraku Saibō Baby (Cells at Work! Baby), and Hataraku Saibō Lady (Cells at Work! Lady).
This year’s 20th issue of Kodansha’s Morning magazine revealed the staff and cast for the anime adaptation of Shigemitsu Harada and Issei Hatsuyoshiya’s Cells at Work! Code Black (Hataraku Saibō Black) spinoff manga on Thursday.
The Cells at Work! Code Black anime has a separate staff and cast from Cells at Work!! (with two exclamation points), the previously described second anime season of adapting Akane Shimizu’s Cells at Work! manga, which was also announced as debuting in January 2021.
Kodansha Comics is publishing the manga in English, and it shipped the manga’s fifth volume in English in November 2017.
