Comments】 ※Titles omitted
Original story: Akane Shimizu

Thank you very much for the animation! I thought I was very lucky to have been accepted by everyone thanks to the pop subject matter of anthropomorphic cells, but I did not expect to have it animated as well. I am still in the process of drawing this manga, but I hope you will enjoy each and every episode.
I hope you will take a look at it!

■Director: Kenichi Suzuki
In our body, about 37 trillion cells are working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
I hope you will enjoy watching the film while imagining (laughing) about the various events happening inside our bodies, thinking, "Wow, this is happening," or "These cells are working so hard. The entire staff is working hard as "Hataraku Staff" to keep up with the cells, and we look forward to your continued support!

Series Composition: Yuko Kakihara
When I think of the cells working hard every day inside my body like this, it makes me think that I should take better care of my own body.
The animation staff is working hard to bring the unique and imaginative charm of the original story into an enjoyable animation.
We hope you will enjoy watching this funny and informative documentary about the work of the cellular characters.

Character Design: Takahiko Yoshida
