Description

Terrarium in Drawer is a collection of short stories detailing the lives of multiple unrelated characters, with a new story almost every chapter. The manga's tone ranges from fantastical ("Wrath of the Dragon"), to conceptual ("Eating Symbols"), to everyday ("Sense of Scale"). The manga examines each of its highly fictional situations with a realistic lens, giving it a sense of authenticity that is seen in Kui's other work, Dungeon Meshi.
