A fun and fascinating take on how bodies work, this time with an eye on typically female issues. Our main characters this time are immune cells - instead of a red/white blood cell duo as with the original and Black - with the major focus on a macrophage, a butler this time instead of a maid. It's cute and charming as usual, and full of interesting facts on how what we do as we go about our lives affect our health and the inside of our bodies, with a great translation of the various medical topics and jargon.
The one drawback is that it focuses almost exclusively on "typically feminine" issues, with this volume covering pms and menstruation, dieting, skin problems, and gynecological exams with a heavy focus on pregnancy. While I understand that this is "Lady", I can't help but think that women have health issues and lives not tied to uteruses, but such is the narrow view of "women's health", I suppose.
Just another Cells at Work series, nothing to really get excited about. Still very fun and cute at points and still a very fun way to learn a little about how the human body functions on the inside.
