はたらく細胞BLACK [Hataraku Saibō Black] #2

A sprawling ensemble of red-uniformed workers crowds the cover of this second volume of Cells at Work! BLACK, the darker-toned spin-off that imagines the human body as a gritty labor force pushed to its limits. The cast is impressively varied — from young, wide-eyed red blood cells in their trademark caps to weathered, battle-scarred figures representing everything from white blood cells to platelets — all rendered with expressive detail that hints at the demanding world they inhabit. It's a compelling visual introduction to a body under serious stress, and a great reason to dive into volume two.
