Welcome to Cozy Anime Corner , your go-to place for finding the perfect anime to brighten your day! Every month I’ll highlight a comfy series with low stakes, calm vibes and people I wish I knew in real life. Sasaki is a salaryman grinding through long, endless workdays. His only moments of respite are the occasional cigarette break and appreciating the comforting smile of Yamada, a cute clerk working the register at his local supermarket. Through them, Sasaki makes a new friend and finds some of the happiness he deserves. Join Sasaki for your own much-needed respite from the stresses of daily life in Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You ! The popular slice-of-life anime series is filled with humor, thoughtful conversations, and quiet moments that will remind you that even small, everyday moments can be cozy when you take a minute to take a break. Opening Number “Kuzuri Nen” by Zutomayo begins wistfully as we see what Sasaki’s dreary daily life is like, from the daily grind to smoking alone in a dark apartment with an empty fridge. But when he meets Yamada behind the supermarket checkout, the song kicks up the energy and intensity. By the end of the opening credits, Zutomayo’s invigorating vocals reflect how full Sasaki’s days (and fridge) have become now that Yamada is part of them.
