To prevent misinformation amidst the deadly situation of the pandemic, the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare of Japan and Kodansha have released the new chapter of the manga Cells At Work!
The new chapter is about the ongoing pandemic and the Covid-19 vaccine as it is essential to educate people about what can save lives.
Not only this but something light-hearted and educational is needed at times like these.
The Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare of Japan, along with Kodansha, announced and released the latest chapter of Cells At Work! about the Covid-19 vaccine globally for free.
Let’s know the new coronavirus correctly and prevent it! Starting today, “#Cells at Work!” Moving comics are now available for free!

The aim is to make people aware of the virus and, more importantly, the vaccine.
The manga chapter released is in a motion format with sound effects. The Japanese version is already out.
With the help of JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency), it will be translated into English and Hindi.
The chapter will be distributed free of cost globally. It will be available in Japanese only for a limited period from April 28th (just before the Golden Week Holidays) till March 2022.
The chapters released in motion form globally will be the ‘New Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19)’ chapter and a new one, ‘COVID-19 Vaccine’. This is to raise awareness and prevent misinformation about the two.
The Japanese version of both the chapters was released today on Kodansha’s official YouTube channel, Full Anime TV.
Both of the chapters have sound effects and are in a motion format.
The original manga ended on January 26th with its last chapter focused on the Covid-19 virus.
This is an interesting take on the whole situation by the Japanese government. It could do a lot of good in educating people and erasing the misinformation that is fast spreading.
We hope the initiative taken brings some stability to the current situation and helps people realize the importance of the vaccine.
