Smoking behind the supermarket with you

Résumé du tome 1 (catalogue de la BnF)

Sasaki est un employé de bureau de 45 ans, célibataire et usé par ses heures de travail à rallonge. Son seul rayon de soleil, c'est Yamada, la caissière de la supérette qui lui sourit toujours de son visage angélique. Un soir, alors qu'il passe par le magasin, il ne la voit pas en service. Soudain, une jeune fille lui propose de fumer une cigarette ensemble, à l'arrière de la supérette. C'est ainsi que commence, entre eux, une relation des plus atypiques mais aussi des plus uniques.

Résumé (en anglais, MangaBaka)

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! *Source: Manga UP!

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! *Source: SQUARE ENIX USA, Vol. 1*
