Even though he's a respected and admired leader who can slaughter pathogens with the best of them, he's grown tired of the hyper-aggressive, aloof, and grumpy personality that's left him without friends and unable to enjoy some of his interests openly. And so, the story is about his efforts to reach out and make friends without compromising his tough-guy image...usually with hilarious results.

! Tropes present in this work include:
* BattleDiscretionShot: While fights with viruses break out fairly regularly, almost all of the actual fighting occurs offscreen. Justified in that this is a character-driven comedy and not an action manga.
* BruiserWithASoftCenter: The premise of the manga, given this Killer T has to balance his softness and [[IJustWantToHaveFriends desire for companionship]] with his toughness and duty.
* CastOfExpies: Cells in this body are very similar to the ones in the main series' body, though it mostly ends at physical resemblance. From the main trio alone, we've got Killer T (looks like the Commander and has the same problems), U-2145 (a straighter-haired U-1146), and [=IM1235=] (a less accident-prone [=AE3803=] with pigtails).
* {{Edutainment}}: Much less focused on biology lessons than its parent series; arguably, most of the lessons here are more social in nature: being comfortable with oneself, being honest, and the dangers of hiding behind a persona rather than genuinely being yourself.
* LighterAndSofter: Is this to the main series, which despite its {{Edutainment}} leanings could still be quite bloody and dark despite its younger audience. Needless to say, it's not even in the same ballpark as Manga/CellsAtWorkCodeBlack.

* RatedMForManly: Even though the comic focuses on Killer T's social awkwardness and desire to come down from his tower of testosterone, make no mistake: he really ''is'' a badass squad leader who can stop a viral invasion almost single-handedly.

** Some of the videos Killer T rents include ''[[LightNovel/LoveChunibyoAndOtherDelusions Love, Golgi Apparatus, & Other Delusions]]'', ''[[Manga/MyLittleMonster My Little Nucleosome]]'', and ''[[Manga/DefyingKurosakiKun Defying Synapse-kun]]''.
