Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You is based on the Square Enix-published manga by Jinushi, which originated as a Twitter comic in March 2022. Manga Up! describes the synopsis as such:
Meet Sasaki, an overworked, middle-aged office worker. His days are marked only by the passing of more unrewarding corporate drudgery. Smoking helps take the edge off, but other than that, the only bright spot of his day is when he goes to the nearby supermarket and sees Yamada’s smiling face. So, one evening after yet another exhausting day, he heads to the supermarket to find he missed Yamada’s shift. Dejected, he decides to go find a smoking area but discovers there isn’t one to be found. Just as he’s about to leave, a girl in a biker jacket named Tayama asks him to join her at a secret smoking area!
The manga is serialized in Big Gangan and will release its eighth volume in Japan on January 23.
