Aniplex announced on Friday that Akane Shimizu 's Cells at Work! ( Hataraku Saibō ) manga will receive a television anime adaptation that will premiere in July. Aniplex opened a Japanese site for the anime, and Aniplex of America also opened an English site.

The February issue of Kodansha 's Nakayoshi magazine revealed last month that Haruyuki Kichida's Hataraku Saikin (Bacteria at Work) spinoff manga will have "big news" for the manga on February 2.

The manga received an animated commercial last July.

Kodansha Comics is publishing the manga in English, and it describes the story:

The average human body contains about 60 trillion cells, and each of them has work to do! But when you get injured, viruses or bacteria invade, or when an allergic reaction flares up, everyone from the silent but deadly white blood cells to the brainy neurons has to work together to get through the crisis!

Kenichi Suzuki ( JoJo's Bizarre Adventure , Drifters ) is directing the anime at David Production , and Yuuko Kakihara ( Tsuki ga Kirei , Persona 4 The Animation ) is in charge of series composition, and both Suzuki and Kakihara will pen the scripts. Takahiko Yoshida ( Welcome to the NHK , Yowamushi Pedal ) is designing the characters and is also credited as chief animation director, while Kenta Mimuro is credited as cell character designer, prop designer, and animation scene animation director. Keiko Tamaki is credited for sub-character design. Kenichiro Suehiro ( Re:Zero , Girls' Last Tour ) is composing the music at MAYUKO .
