Chapter 65 of Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You is expected to be released in late September 2026. The exact date has not been announced yet — but based on the series' consistent monthly schedule in Big Gangan, we can predict it with high confidence. Bookmark this page and check back: we'll update it within hours of the official announcement.
Chapter 65 Expected Release Date
| | | |---|---| | Expected Japanese release | ~September 24–25, 2026 (Big Gangan Vol.10) | | Basis of prediction | Monthly cadence — Ch.63 in Vol.08 (Jul 25), Ch.64 in Vol.09 (Aug 24) | | English simulpub | ~2–3 days after JP release on Manga UP! and Comikey | | Official confirmation | Not yet — the author typically announces 1–2 weeks before release on X (@jinusi822) | | Chapter title | TBA |
⚠️ This is a prediction, not an official date. It's based on the magazine's release rhythm and historical data. We'll replace it with the confirmed date the moment the author or Square Enix announces.
How We Predict This Date
The math is simple and public:
- Chapter 63 (63rd Smoke) → Big Gangan August issue (Vol.08), on sale July 25, 2026
- Chapter 64 → Big Gangan September issue (Vol.09), on sale August 24, 2026
- Chapter 65 → Big Gangan October issue (Vol.10), expected on sale ~September 24–25, 2026
Plus, the author consistently posts a preview and a release announcement on X (@jinusi822) roughly 1–2 weeks before the magazine hits shelves. So an official confirmation for Chapter 65 should land around mid-September — and we'll update this page immediately.
What to Expect in Chapter 65?
Official plot so far: Chapter 64 ended with Sasaki visiting his mentor Nakajima in Hokkaido — shortly after the fallout with Yamada.
What fans are saying: Reddit's Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You community is already discussing the setup (r/SmokingBhdSupermarket, recent thread). The general read is that Chapter 65 will follow the aftermath of Chapter 64's revelations — Yamada and Sasaki's relationship at a turning point. Note: this is fan speculation, not official synopsis.
Where to Read Chapter 65 (Official Sources)

What Happened in Chapter 64?
Chapter 64 released in Big Gangan Vol.09 on August 24, 2026. Its subtitle was 「スーパーの裏へ架ける明かり」 (A Light to Hang Behind the Supermarket). Not long after the incident with Yamada, Sasaki travels to Hokkaido to visit his mentor Nakajima — a quieter, introspective chapter exploring Sasaki's past and the person who shaped his career.
