Tokyo, everyone is drawing comics, who still wants to fall in love?.

Chapter 337: Redemption! Cherish! The social impact of "Cells at Work!"
Autumn in Japan is like an elegant painter, using golden and red as the main colors, painting colors on the maple trees on both sides of the street.

Asano Yukinaga was wearing a dark coat and sitting on a shabby chair on the street, with newly fallen maple leaves piled on his shoulders.

The re-examination report from Tokyo Central Hospital was in his pocket. The second diagnosis of mid-stage laryngeal cancer made him feel deeply lonely.

An autumn breeze blew by, bringing with it a hint of coolness, and the fallen leaves flew in the air.

Asano Yukinaga stretched out his hand, trying to grab a piece of it, but he only grabbed the nothingness that was blown away by the wind.

My life, like this autumn, is coming to an end.

He looked at the occasional people passing by on the road, and his heart grew colder.

No one cares about your health. Even if you want to get good treatment, who cares?

Even if I die, no one will be sad, it will only cause trouble to the person who collects the body, right?

It is said that the body of a terminally ill cancer patient will have a foul odor. I can only say sorry to the hardworking corpse collectors...

That's it, there's no point in treatment anymore.

No one cares if I live or die anyway. No one cares if I exist or not...

As he was thinking, a clear female voice suddenly came: "Sir, do you know "Cells at Work!"

Asano Yukinaga looked at the person who came slowly.

It was a girl wearing blue denim overalls and a red jacket. The hat on her head was also red, which looked a bit strange.

Is he a cosplayer? Asano Yukinaga doesn’t watch anime, so he doesn’t understand this.

"'Cells at Work!' will be performing at the Arakawa Theater soon. You're welcome to come and watch it!" The girl smiled and handed over a flyer with both hands.

Asano Yukinaga took it hesitantly: "A stage play?"

"Yes! Judging from your accent, you are from Kansai? Me too, and I'm looking forward to seeing you at the Arakawa Theater! If you're free, please come!" The girl bowed politely and left.

Of course, this is standard etiquette for those handing out flyers in Japan, but for Asano Yukinaga, it felt like a sense of being noticed that he hadn't felt in a long time.

Does anyone care about me?

No, don't be so conceited. No one cares whether I live or die.

He watched the girl handing out flyers to passers-by.

If only I could be as energetic as her, but unfortunately...

After she walked away, Asano Yukinaga stood up and wanted to throw the flyer into the trash can.

But when he aimed it at the opening of the trash can and was about to put the trash in, he saw the word "cancer".

Huh? He paused, then took it back.

"In our human body, there are about 37 trillion cells of various kinds... Is the stage play of the popular manga adaptation "Cells at Work!" going to start?" Asano Yukinaga read softly, "The plot has been updated to the latest "Cancer Cell"? "

He stared blankly at the contents of the flyer.

Two hours later, he was sitting in the Arakawa Theater.

There were about three hundred spectators around. Although it was not full compared to a theater that could accommodate five hundred people, it was already afternoon and the attendance rate was relatively high.

"We are the invincible T cells--" Four T cell actors dressed in black uniforms sang a song to warm up the audience.

Asano Yukinaga remained expressionless even as people around him laughed at the warm-up jokes.

The drama begins.

[In our human body, there are about 37 trillion cells of various kinds...]

As the background music introduced, scenes of various cells working in the human body were shown on the stage.

It’s a very thoughtful stage play… Asano Yukinaga was surprised.

And it's very novel! Are there also a large number of cells working in my body like this?
Is it so lively inside my body?
Asano Yukinaga stretched out his hand and looked at the back of his hand which was bruised from the intravenous drip.

Are there so many cells in this? The actors in the stage play acted very well. The white blood cells and red blood cells appeared on the stage, and the wonderful performance and the appropriate battle to destroy bacteria fascinated Asano Yukinaga.

In particular, every time the bacteria appear on stage, it is almost like walking on a catwalk, and they interact with the audience below the stage from time to time, making the audience feel very involved.

The performance was of a very good standard and there were many funny moments, with the audience laughing constantly in the theatre.

But Asano Yukinaga always had a stern face, his brows were tightly furrowed and there was no trace of smile.

The finale is the “cancer cells” in the human body!
Asano Yukinaga gripped the armrests of the audience seats with both hands and pursed his lips tightly.

Fortunately, the lights in the auditorium were dim, and everyone was watching the wonderful performances of the actors on the stage attentively.

NK cells have seen through the tricks of cancer cells, and cancer cells have also revealed their terrifying mutated limbs!

White blood cells, T cells, macrophages, NK cells and other working cells in the human body are fighting cancer cells together!

But the cancer cells proliferated wildly and were extremely ferocious, and seemed unstoppable!
Asano Yukinaga's brows were twisted into a knot, and his body even trembled slightly.

He is nervous, he is scared, he is terrified!

He knew that there were a large number of cancer cells in his body, and that the throat had been infiltrated. Just as the plot showed, the cancer cells had already established a base and were preparing for metastasis!

Suddenly, amidst a burst of laughter, a golden light of salvation descended, and the NK cells suddenly became energetic.

"Our NK cells can be activated by smiles!"

The power of NK cells has greatly increased, defeating cancer cells!
When Asano Yukinaga in the audience saw this scene, his eyes widened in surprise.

"I will come back, we cancer cells will definitely come back! As long as this body has bad living habits, as long as this body is weak, as long as the owner of this body has no fighting spirit, we will definitely make a comeback!" The defeated cancer cells let out their last unwilling roar.

The white blood cell slowly raised the blade.

"Cancer cells! It doesn't matter how many times you come, our immune cells will still be your opponent!"

"No matter how powerful you are, no matter how big you are, no matter how terrifying you are!"

"We, the working cells, will fight for this body! We will care about this body, we will protect this body, and we will keep this body healthy!"

"Because we, 37 trillion of our companions, are the ones who are constantly fighting for this body...Working Cells--!!!"

The sharp blade slashed heavily at the cancer cells!
Asano Yukinaga couldn't help but tremble.

But it was not out of nervousness, fear or panic, but rather out of excitement that could hardly be contained!
When the curtain rose and the actors came on stage to take their bows, he stood up excitedly and clapped loudly.

I am not a dispensable lonely existence!
My body is made up of 37 trillion cells.

37 trillion cells, working for me.

37 trillion cells, 2000 hours a day, caring about me!
Fight for me, work for me, fight for me!

His hands hurt from clapping so hard.

Applause broke out from the audience, and more and more people stood up!
"Great! Great acting! Cells at Work! Great--!"

In the evening, the old man who was guarding the apartment saw Asano Yukinaga approaching from afar.

Oh, no, he was jogging.

Why did he start exercising? Why did the young man who was always frowning come back running?

"Good evening!" Asano Yukinaga had a smile on his face and greeted as he passed by the guardhouse.

When he entered the elevator, he saw his neighbors smiling at each other.

Hey? What's going on? The old gatekeeper blinked his eyes, not knowing what was going on.

The moment the elevator closed, the sound of Asano Yukinaga laughing and talking to his neighbor could be heard:
"I watched a stage play today. I highly recommend it. It was really great!"

"I just watched it for fun the first time, and then I watched it again the second time. I felt like I hadn't laughed so happily in a long time."

"It turns out that there are so many cells in my body that care about me. I must cherish them..."

The social impact of Shingo Oda's "Cells at Work!" is fermenting!
