Red blood cells that carry oxygen, white blood cells that fight bacteria, and countless other cells work tirelessly day and night to protect your health and life. High school student Niko (Mana ASHIDA) lives with her father, Shigeru (Sadao ABE). Because of Niko's diligent nature and her healthy lifestyle, the cells inside her body are always working joyfully. Meanwhile, inside Shigeru's body, the cells are always complaining, exhausted from the brutal working environment, as he leads an irregular and unhealthy life.
