  • はたらく細胞 Black Vol.1 Ch.1

Although I like the original series, I don’t want to be too ahead of the club. (Though, I might change my mind later.)

Also, this spin-off was recommended to me a long while ago. (Too many other spin-offs, in fact.)

I think I saw this before somewhere...

In some year number? Some ads?

  • 強靭(きょうじん) = sturdy; tough. This one has Furigana.
  • 掃除(そうじ) = sweeping. Just confused because the last Kanji is usually read じょ as in 排除(はいじょ).

  • 新米(しんまい) = newbie / first rice crop of the year. Probably similar to 新人(しんじん) or 新入(しんい)り.
  • 淋菌(りんきん) = gonococcus. First Kanji, other than crying loneliness (淋(さび)しい), it can also mean lymph, and then a Kanji substitution for Gonorrhea (痳(リン)).
