The June issue of Kodansha’s Monthly Shonen Sirius magazine revealed on Friday that Yuuko Kakihara (Cells at Work! anime series composition) and Yasu (Joshiraku, Toradora!) will launch a spinoff manga of Akane Shimizu’s Cells at Work! manga titled Hataraku Kesshōban-chan (Platelets at Work) in the magazine’s next issue on May 25.
The manga has inspired several spinoff series such as Hataraku Saikin (Bacteria at Work), Hatarakanai Saibō (Cells That Don’t Work), and Hataraku Saibō Friend.
Kodansha Comics shipped the manga’s fifth volume in English November 2017, and it will also debut the Cells at Work! Code Black spinoff manga this summer.
Shimizu’s original Cells at Work! manga launched in the March 2015 issue of Kodansha’s Monthly Shonen Sirius, and Kodansha shipped the fifth compiled volume in Japan in August 2017.
