Biotechnology and medicine research group Kyowa Hakko Kirin posted Ryō Koshino's full The Story of Basic Immunology (Shin Kōtai Monogatari) manga on its website in English on Friday.
Koshino began the educational web manga for Kyowa Hakko Kirin's Japanese website in June 2013. The story follows researcher Hajime Ushijima and a community magazine editor who interviews him about the immune system.
Koshino's Machi-Isha Jumbo (Town Doctor Jumbo!!) manga ran from 2011-2015 in Kodansha's Weekly Gendai. The series inspired a live-action drama adaptation that Crunchyroll streamed as it aired in Japan in 2013.
