Plot
The story, unlike the original, follows a Killer T Squad Leader and his problems in daily life. The main plot does not revolve around saving the body from various dangers, but how he tries to make friends despite his social anxiety.
Squad Leader is extremely hardworking and among the strongest Killer T cells in the body, but despite that, he doesn't seem to be able to make friends. Whether it be with his old classmates, subordinates, or even people around him, he just can't seem to make it work.
