Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You - S01

The only thing that gets the middle-aged Sasaki through his soul-sucking job is a cheerful smile from Yamada, the young woman who works at a nearby 24-hour supermarket he visits often. After every tiring day of being chewed out by his boss, Sasaki stops by the store to have his spirits healed by his favorite cashier. After a particularly rough day, Sasaki shows up at the supermarket, only to find that Yamada's shift has already ended. Disappointed, he looks for a place to smoke when a woman behind the store calls him over to join her. The bold and dangerously playful Tayama is quick to point out Sasaki's peculiar habit of always seeking out her coworker, even going so far as to tell Yamada about Sasaki's interest in her. Now, in addition to seeing his adored cashier Yamada, Sasaki also visits the store to see if his new smoking partner Tayama is around. But there is more to Tayama's mischievousness than she first lets on. With every cigarette, an unlikely friendship begins to blossom.
