The Japanese edition of “Smoke” inherits the rich, weighty aesthetic of the French version while pushing its artistic craftsmanship even further.

Its exclusive yet nostalgic atmosphere is expressed not only through color design, but also through the bookbinding and the texture of the paper itself.

This ambitious project was created gradually alongside the weekly serialization of “Kaijin Fugeki” in Weekly Shōnen Magazine.

“Smoke” — Synopsis

From Oh! great, the creator of “Air Gear,” “Bakemonogatari” (original story by Nisio Isin), and “Kaijin Fugeki,” comes his first fully original, completely full-color manga.

In a distant future where AI and humans coexist, “humanity” itself has been cast aside. A man embarks on a life-risking journey in search of the rumored “cigarette.” It is, in every sense, the embodiment of a life lived freely.
