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

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!

Apr 27, 2024The good-hearted, much put-upon, world-weary Mr. Sasaki comes across as rather endearing whereas Manager Goto and Miss Yamada/Tayama are maybe a little too fond of teasing their loyal customer. This series will definitely appeal to those who enjoy a slice-of-life comedy with a will-he, won't-he? vibe that finds plenty of involving human interest down at the local supermarket.

Oct 10, 2024This is a pretty cute, low stakes story about two adults coping with their stresses and finding some relief from it all in each other's company, but also in their shared vice. There is a lot of page time given to smoking as that’s the main stress relief the two can enjoy together. The conversation and camaraderie Sasaki and his supermarket ladies have is very sweet, and this is an overall very feel-good story. However, the emphasis on smoking as the basis for their relationship makes this something that might find a better home in adult libraries where the subject matter will be more endearing and readers can overlook the importance of tobacco use Read Full Review
