An overworked salaryman and a mischievous cashier with a dual personality form an unexpected bond in this sweet-and-sour comedy!

At age forty-five, office worker Sasaki has had enough of the corporate grind. His only solace is smoking—and the friendly smile of supermarket cashier Yamada. When Sasaki can't find Yamada after a particularly trying day, a striking woman invites him to smoke with her. The despondent man thinks he's made a new smoking buddy in the cool, teasing Tayama, but Sasaki doesn't realize he already knows her!

This book gives me life.
A slow, mellow romantic manga about two adults who meet while smoking behind a supermarket. I like their friendship and the slow burn nature of the manga. The interaction between the amiable and anxious 40 year old Sasaki and the 24 year old Yamada is heart warming and occasionally makes me laugh. The first novel sets up the things to come up well. I only wish the rest of the chapters could be in print a bit sooner. It has a matte cover and is slightly thicker and shorter than my other manga, which almost makes it feel more like a print novel. I got it for myself on my 24th birthday and it’s easily my favorite piece of fiction ever.

Sasaki is a middle-aged salaryman who is fixated on a friendly young cashier at his local supermarket named Yamada. He also spends his nights smoking behind that same supermarket with a bad girl named Tayama. And, in the way that Daily Planet employees can never figure out that Clark Kent is superman, Sasaki can't figure out that the two women he sees most often at this supermarket are the same person.

This is an oddball manga for sure, and the main character reaches nuclear levels of density, but it's still a sweet story. It's also a super slow burn age gap romance (the two characters are almost twenty years apart in age). The age gap may bother some, but I have no issues with it. These are two adults, after all.

At any rate, this manga was far better than I expected. Highly recommended.

This story has become a quick favorite of mine for its chill story line, subtle humor, and amazing atmosphere. The relationships between the characters are fun to watch and very well handled. I could equally see a romance developing between the main characters as I could see them remaining platonic th entire story and I would personally be happy with either outcome. Can’t wait to see more of the story.

Really good adult slice of life. Very straightforward but entertaining!
Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2024
I absolutely loved reading this manga online. When I saw they were producing a printed version of it I had to jump on it right away and get a pre-order. Excited to have a physical copy to read now. Can’t wait for the next few volumes to come out! This is such a comfort-manga and would recommend it to anyone looking for a wholesome and silly/fun read.

This series is very light-hearted, but it just lifts your spirits like a puff of smoke! Can't wait for more!

Actually, smoking is really bad for you. You shouldn't smoke, but you should read this very fine slice-of-life manga. The characterizations and art are nicely done and it was a bit of a struggle to keep myself from reading it all in one sitting.

Already pre-ordered the next volume and can't wait to see what Sasaki and Yamada are up to out back.

This is a new favorite series of mine. The characters are utterly charming and surprisingly human. It’s fun, sweet, and heartfelt! Just the thing for the weary working stiff!

5.0 out of 5 stars great manga, great edition by square enix
Reviewed in Spain on March 4, 2024
this manga is a great lighthearted read for anyone looking for a fun, adult-setting romcom

wish amazon packed small books in appropriate sized envelopes (my envelope was 3 times the size of the book) and also that they came protected with plastic or bubble wrap... luckily this copy didn't come damaged but it has happened in the past and could be easily avoided... would be nice if publishers sold them with plastic wrap from the get-go like they do in japan.

Reviewed in Germany on February 29, 2024
Funny and heart-warming! Even though I hate smoking and find it utterly disgusting I still love this manga and can hardly wait for another volume! The characters feel very real and it is truly enjoyable to get a glimpse into their lives and watch their interactions. The one thing I always worry about with romantic comedies is that there is no progress. Well, time will tell! I do hope that Yamada (Tamaya) and Sazaki will get closer to each other and that the Yamada's manager will get plenty of entertainment!
