Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You TV Anime Reveals Main Cast

The "ABEMA Anime Festival 2025" event on Sunday revealed the main cast for the television anime adaptation of Jinushi's Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You (Super no Ura de Yani Sū Futari) manga, in a "main cast voice promotional video." Takuya Satō will voice the character Sasaki, and Seena Hoshiki will voice Yamada/Tayama in the series.

Manga UP! Global added the manga in April 2023 and describes the story:

Meet Sasaki, an overworked, middle-aged office worker. His days are marked only by the passing of more unrewarding corporate drudgery. Smoking helps take the edge off, but other than that, the only bright spot of his day is when he goes to the nearby supermarket and sees Yamada's smiling face. So, one evening after yet another exhausting day, he heads to the supermarket to find he missed Yamada's shift. Dejected, he decides to go find a smoking area but discovers there isn't one to be found. Just as he's about to leave, a girl in a biker jacket named Tayama asks him to join her at a secret smoking area!

Jinushi launched the manga on X/Twitter in March 2022, and the series then began serialization in Square Enix's Big Gangan magazine in August 2022. Square Enix shipped the seventh compiled book volume of the manga on July 25.

Comikey also began releasing the manga in English digitally in May 2023.

Square Enix Manga & Books began releasing the manga in English in February 2024. The company shipped the manga's fifth volume on August 12.

The manga title is also available in English on BookWalker.

The manga won 8th place in the 16th Manga Taisho awards in 2023.
