Earlier this week, we received a new trailer for the Cells at Work! Black TV anime which also revealed the series premiere date of January 9 as well as its voice cast and new visual.
Kodansha USA serializes the manga in English and describes the series as such:
The manga and anime Cells at Work! showed you what happens when a young, healthy body gets in trouble … but what if the body wasn’t so young, and was never very healthy? This new take stars a fresh-faced Red Blood Cell and his friend, the buxom White Blood Cell, as they struggle to keep themselves and their world together through alcoholism, smoking, erectile dysfunction, athlete’s foot, gout … it’s literal body horror! Whoever this guy is, he’s lucky his cells can’t go on strike!
