Synopsis

For the regular cells of the human body, life consists of countless repetitive tasks. They spend every day multiplying, leaving little time for other activities.

Tired of unending drudgery, another cell named Ippan Saibou decides to join this quirky stranger for a day of pranks, jokes, and mischief. [Written by MAL Rewrite]
