  • はたらく細胞 Vol.2 Ch.6

The big body continues to survive. So scary for the insides.

Interesting vocabularies
  • あばよ Goodbye. JJ dict (on Yomichan) says – (「さあらばよ」からか)
  • 誇示(こじ) ostentatious display. Proudness is individualized. Same Kanji as 誇(ほこ)る, but I don’t remember seeing On readings before.
  • こまめ attention to details. Probably like 小(こ)豆(まめ) (small fine beans). (JJ dict suggests 小忠実(こまめ).)
  • 土壌(どじょう) breeding ground (metaphorically). Also means soil. And I completely don’t recognize the Kanji.
  • 芽胞(がほう) spore. Drawing (画(が)) something new from scratch (for 芽(め) readings). Yomichan suggests 胞子(ほうし)に同じ.
  • 冷却(れいきゃく) cooling down. I guess heat escapes (退却(たいきゃく)), and becoming of cooling.
  • 霧状(きりじょう) mist form, probably like aerosol.
  • 浸透(しんとう) feels like deep (深(しん)) permeation (透(す)き通(とお)る, 透明(とうめい)). First Kanji can be thought of 侵入(しんにゅう), but with water (氵(さんずい)).

Phrases

  • 知(し)る由(よし)もない no way to know. (Also, 由(よし) as a vocabulary.)

Forgotten ones

  • うろたえる to be irresistibly (耐(た)えない) flustered (うろうろ). Kanji form is 狼狽(うろた)える with another vocabulary 狼狽(ろうばい).
  • 総称(そうしょう) a generic term
