Publishing company Square Enix opened an official website for a television anime adaptation of Jinushi's Super no Ura de Yani Suu Futari (Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You) manga on Friday. Jinushi drew an illustration to commemorate the announcement (pictured). The anime is scheduled to premiere on TBS in 2026.

Jinushi began drawing the romantic comedy manga on their X (formerly Twitter) account in March 2022 before beginning serialization in Monthly Big Gangan in August that year. Square Enix published the seventh volume on July 25. The manga has a cumulative 2.5 million copies of its volumes in print.

Square Enix Manga & Books licensed the manga in English in July 2023. The fourth volume went on sale on March 18, with the fifth volume planned for an August 12 release. The manga is also available on Manga UP! And Comikey.

Super no Ura de Yani Suu Futari placed seventh in the Kono Manga ga Sugoi! 2023 rankings in the male readers category and was nominated for the 16th Manga Taisho awards in 2023.

Synopsis
The sole thing that gets the middle-aged Sasaki through his soul-sucking job is a cheerful smile from Yamada—the young woman who works at a nearby 24-hour supermarket he frequents. After every tiring day of getting berated by his boss, Sasaki stops by the store to have his spirit healed by his favorite cashier.

After a particularly grueling day, Sasaki shows up at the supermarket, only to find that Yamada's shift has already ended. Disappointed, he searches for a place to smoke when a woman from behind the store calls him over to join her. The bold and dangerously playful Tayama is quick to call out Sasaki's peculiar habit of always seeking out her coworker—even going as far as telling Yamada about Sasaki's vested interest in her.

Now, in addition to seeing his adored cashier Yamada, Sasaki also visits the store to see if his new smoking partner Tayama is around. But there is more to Tayama's mischievousness than she initially lets on. With every cigarette, an unlikely friendship begins to blossom. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Honestly, this is one of the rare manga where the atmosphere speaks louder than the plot. It's more about feeling than story progression, and that's exactly what makes it so charming.

If the anime manages to capture that mellow, slightly melancholic vibe — with quiet conversations and subtle character moments — it could turn out to be something really special.

Also, low-key praying they don't overdo the comedy or make Tayama too over-the-top. She's got edge, but it's the nuance that makes her interesting.

Hoping for a studio like LIDENFILMS or Doga Kobo — somewhere that can balance tone well.

This manga has a more mature theme and logic than most of things I've read. I hope they work on the comedy aspect of it in their Anime adaptation cause it really is not the thing this manga needs. The interactions between Sasaki and Yamada are funny enough and the rest just makes it cringe. I don't have any problems with it but I think that would be an upgrade.

Looks to be a nice little slice-of-life romance comedy. It has my attention.

OMG I can't for the peak and one of the best mood manga to be animated. I really wish it's wholesomeness properly animated . So damn happy!!!!!!!!! I pray for either of these goddesses Sawashiro Miyuki or Amamiya Sora to voice Yamada. They both would be perfect choices!!!!!!!!!

Was just a matter of time. Now just hope this actually gets a good studio too.

Is this the same Sasaki from Sasaki and Peeps? He even looks similar.

Nice. I'm really enjoying the manga.

Has the industry really decided to delve into stories about world-weary ojisans? It's hardly a big trend, but we seem to be getting more of it lately.

Oh wow, I read the first three volumes and it was a nice chill adult romance manga.

Nice, literally two people chilling and talking, the anime.

Curious what they're gonna do with this. And how Tayama's voice would sound.
