Recognized for his roles as Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and Albert James Moriarty in Moriarty the Patriot. - Seena Hoshiki as Yamada/Tayama

About
the work
The story
follows Sasaki, a middle-aged office worker burdened by corporate
work. Their only consolation, besides smoking, is the smile of Yamada,
a friendly employee of the local supermarket. One night, after missing Yamada's
shift and looking for a place to smoke, he meets a girl in a biker jacket
named Tayama, who invites him to a secret smoking area behind the
store.
The manga,
created by Jinushi, began on X (Twitter) in 2022 before being
serialized in Square Enix's Big Gangan magazine.
The work has been acclaimed for its mature and comforting tone, winning eighth
place at the 2023 Manga Taisho Awards.
