Anime (referred to by fans as Season 0) was released, with the series based on the manga from before it became centered around the cards.

Why use one basket when you can sneak in a few options for savvily storing essentials? “Clients often seek offices that are both functional and beautiful,” says Jessica Manela, senior interior designer and buyer, Tusk Home + Design in Westport, Connecticut. “While this balance can be difficult to achieve, it can be accomplished with hidden storage. A sleek desk stationery design can be just what your office needs, but if the silhouette is without drawers or a cabinet, keeping the surface area clutter-free can be problematic.
Instead, store a small wireless printer out of sight—a large desk drawer or closet shelf does the trick—and connect to all your devices; that way you can print that memo if you decide to WFH on the couch. In lieu of a storage unit, bookshelves can help you keep random items from taking over your desk, too. Bookshelves offer ample space to store books, binders, and decorative items, keeping them organized and within reach, says Lauren Lerner, founder of Living with Lolo in Scottsdale, Arizona. “They also allow for vertical storage, which is particularly beneficial in maximizing space in smaller offices,” adds Lerner.
A laptop (also called a notebook) is a portable, all-in-one device that usually has USB inputs on the sides for optional peripherals. For us, it’s somewhere to empty your pockets and somewhere to put your tools.

Mechanical desktop hard drives will be rarer as time goes on, replaced by SSDs. The latest desktop SSDs out the gate, like the SanDisk Desk Drive, are much more expensive than our pick for a similar capacity, but prices are sure to come down over time. Going by our initial research and criteria, for each round of testing we settle on external desktop hard drives and portable models to evaluate. For a more real-world measurement, we then time the transfer of a 15 GB folder including a Blu-ray movie and a 31 GB folder of music. We perform each test six times, and we determine the average read and write speeds to rule out performance hiccups.
Not to mention the set comes in eight on-point colors, including sage, blush, slate blue, and aqua.

This set of wooden organizers is so beautiful, you can even display it on your desktop if you don’t have drawer space.
Keep your desk by a bright window to maintain good energy throughout the day. Few wireless chargers are as sleek and compact as this station from Courant, and even better, it frees up any space even in a small cubicle that could be occupied by cables. “Use clips and cable ties to keep cords tangle-free and out of sight,” says Lerner. Tangled cables can really occupy valuable real estate on your desk, so do your best to put the chargers away if you can. Some desks have built-in USBs and outlets that you just plug into the wall, or you can attempt to reverse-engineer your existing desk. Those crunched for space to even fit a desk lamp can look to a floor lamp instead.
