Me lo he pasado muy bien leyendo este primer tomo. No es solo una historia muy original (un 'Érase el cuerpo humano' pero más épico) sino que la forma en la que está narrado y explicado es muy entretenida. También me ha sorprendido mucho el nivel de detalle y de rigor científico que tiene. No es de las que se queda en lo más "básico" sino que profundiza bastante para ser una historia que pretende "simplemente" entretener. Creo que es una forma genial de introducir a la gente al mundillo de la biología celular y la inmunología.

Oh wow, this is so interesting and really cute!! It's just the cells in the body wanted to do their jobs!!! I really love that this is super educational, I'm learning so much about the human body! The art is really cool too, the bacteria look awesome!

This series is very, very odd. It's fiction, but has so much information on how the body works to border on nonfiction. The plot is more an excuse to introduce more components of the body then anything else.

I could see this be an amazing way to learn about the body in Health class, as it is sort of entertaining. But as leisure reading I just found it a bit dull.

Der Manga kriegt schon mal 'nen Bonuspunkt für Originalität. Er hat mich wirklich ein wenig in meine Kindheit zurückversetzt, weil er mich die Story ein wenig an „Es war einmal das Leben“ erinnert, was eine alte Kindertrickfilm-Serie war.
Ich finde die Idee toll, dass man in dem Manga noch einiges über den Körper und die Funktion des Blutes erfährt. Ein Manga der lehrreich ist, kommt einen wirklich sehr, sehr selten in die Hände. Die einzelnen Blutbestandteile werden interessant mit Hilfe von verschiedenen menschlich aussehenden Charakteren dargestellt und ich finde es wurde wirklich nett in eine kleine Story eingebaut. Vor allem die beiden Hauptcharaktere (ein rotes und ein weißes Blutkörperchen) waren mir sehr sympathisch und es machte Spaß sie bei der Arbeit zu beobachten.
Der Zeichenstil gefällt mir auch sehr. Lediglich einige Actionszenen waren mir zu chaotisch.
Ich habe mir gleich Band 2 bestellt.

Story 4,6/5
Zeichenstil 4,6/5
Charakteren 4,6/5
Gesamt 4,6/5

A manga that depicts how the body deals and reacts to bacteria and germs. We meet blood cells (like red and white), memory cells, and more. While reading, it doesn't feel like you're learning, but you are.

*3.5* I enjoyed this, but I prefer the anime adaptation. I think it works way better in that format. If you want to read the manga I highly suggest watching the anime first (at least the first episode) to get more familiar with how everything goes. It is a bit chaotic and there's a lot of information coming your way. Very educational and funny. Platelets are the real heroes y'all!
