Egal ob offene Wunden oder Hämostase, sie sind echte Profis, wenn es darum geht, den Körper am Laufen zu halten: die Blutplättchen! Doch auch im Arbeitsalltag der niedlichen Zellen läuft nicht immer alles nach Plan … und es gibt noch viel zu Lernen!

In this new spinoff of the hit manga, a newbie Red Blood Cell is one of 37 trillion working to keep this body running. But something's wrong! Stress hormones keep yelling at him to go faster. The blood vessels are crusted over with cholesterol. Ulcers, fatty liver, trouble (ahem) downstairs... It's hard for a cell to keep working when every day is a CODE BLACK! GROWN-UP PROBLEMS The cells that keep this body running are doing their best, but there's only so much they can do against the abuse of an unhealthy lifestyle. A simple case of athlete's foot is one thing, but a flood of caustic acid caused by a stomach ulcer is enough to make any cell think about a career change. It turns out that there's only so much these hard-working cells can handle before the consequences turn as serious as a heart attack...

Wie lange kann der Körper weiterleben, wenn selbst die Zellen keinen Sinn mehr darin sehen, weiterzuarbeiten?
