Man I'm a doctor and "well a cell just happened to eat this and not get rid of it 2 million years ago" always did and always will feel like absolute bullshit.

A bacteria just needs to develop acid resistance without "getting eaten" resistance. This results in the bacteria being swallowed by a larger cell and but the larger cell unable to kill it.

Are we gonna have an Organelles at Work manga? With a black spinoff where it takes place in a cell that is facing difficult environments?

@Scam What it feels like is one thing. But the little fuckers have their own DNA, they got a genome, and it's a simplified bacteria genome. I think you can actually kind of trace what they're related to. So fucked up or no, it seems to be the case. It's not the only thing like that, either--in plants, chloroplasts I believe are the same kind of deal.

It's also real simple why everything has cells with mitochondria, they out-competed. A cell with mitochondria was faster and stronger than cells without them, so they ate more food and reproduced better than the rest.

Great work. Sci fi manga is a good start. I d love to read more of them. Of course with some more scientific details though.

And random stuff can be useful educational aids. See also: The entire "Manga Guide to..." franchise. (Though, frankly, I find the educational bits to be shoehorned in... particularly the Databases and Microprocessors ones.) And a huge chunk of what I can recall about fermentation is from Moyashimon.

“I remember the circulatory system by singing Nickelback-- This is how, I remind me of blood cells and their jobs: Lymphocytes, and T-Cells, crushing cancer on every level."
