Have you wondered what cells at work and inside out's love child would be like(I wanted to do osmosis jones, but I'll feel old for knowing it)? Well, wonder no more as for my first official spotlight, I'll be shining it on the ever famous rom-com Yumi cells by Donggeon Lee.
Summary
The story focuses on well Yumi's brain cells as she walks through life and love all the awkward interactions that come up with it. And yes, that is it. But wait, there's more.
Characters
Yumi: a strong dependent Korean woman that is continuously bumbling through one day to the next. Yumi has proven to have a passion for food, poor spending habits, procrastinating tendencies, and a lot of hidden away emotion. Central cells: love cell, hunger, writer, emotional, rational, naughty, inner feeling.
Woong: a quiet, hard-working man of principles. Often tries not to trouble others with his actions. He also is a bit of a troll. Central cells:pride,ambition, faker, love,rational.
Babi: a very reserved and intuitive person who has been hardened by the experience of dating, he has a sincere kindness and passion that he often tried to hide. Central cells: overbearing, detective, love, emotional.
Overview
So as I stated before, Yumi's brain cells are usually the main focus, but that doesn't mean we don't focus on other characters' cells. Each cell has its one-note characteristic. The real fun is in how all these unfiltered one-note personalities pretty much war against each other like the MHA fandom picking the best girl(Or picking which one of my stories is the best). To keep things fresh, the story will often focus on an underappreciated cell and mechanic that leads to even more wacky scenarios.
Primarily each character in yumi cells has a prime cell that directs them main cells that usually represent feelings and cells that control the body's functions. Some cells have been labeled as retired, like my diet cell. Cells have also shown the ability to fuse to make a more powerful cell. Like how introvert and timid cells can Digi-fuse into hermit cell.
Each cell pretty much allows us to understand Yumi and the cast a lot better as, like all of us, we usually have to hide our true feelings to move ahead. And this is one of the reasons I love this comic so much. Despite the funny over the top gestures, yumi cells have legitimately significant social interactions that don't feel too bad as yumi goes through one stage to the next.
The Best Stuff
I think the best way to appreciate yumi's cells is for me to set the record straight. If you're looking for a story about sexy men and women talking about how hot they are, then this isn't for you. If this is a story about a will, they won't get the couple; then this isn't the story for you. I stated in the beginning that this is a story about love and life and the little stories along the way. Yumi gets put into multiple long term relationships, each with their dynamics, changes, and evolutions. Yumi goes through various hurdles and stages in her life and often struggles about the path she's on. And as a person is hard not to get easily invested in that story. Sure it may not have the best art sure it may not have chapters with no real significance. Sure the author is the biggest goddamn troll in the universe. But don't we all have our own private trivial stories that we reflect on?
Epilogue
Overall I hope you check out yumi's cells if you're interested in a fun little story before you get your day started just like I hope you enjoy my stories whenever you tune in. It's a fun romp that knows when not to take itself seriously. I hope you enjoy more chapters like this as next time; I will either choose Hive, Noblesse, or a random segment. I guess it's your choice to decide where the spotlight shines next.
