In this anime, Sasaki was an overworked office worker who relied on cigarettes and the cheerful service and smile of Yamada, a store clerk at his favorite supermarket, to get through his monotonous days at work. However, one night, after finishing a tough shift and arriving late at the supermarket, he couldn't find Yamada. With no smoking area, Sasaki was disappointed when a young woman with piercings called out to him, "You can smoke here."
