Synopsis
Salaryman Zajirou draws surreal manga on his fantasy-reality subway commute, depicting a mysterious underground world.
Zajirou is a salaryman who draws manga during his daily four-hour round-trip commute—a perfectly appropriate activity on a subway that shuttles between fantasy and reality.
