Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You’ Anime Drops Teaser Ahead of July 2026 Debut

The beloved slice-of-life manga Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You (スーパーの裏でヤニ吸うふたり, Super no Ura de Yani Suu Futari) has unveiled its first TV anime teaser as anticipation builds for its July 2026 broadcast. The announcement confirms that the adaptation — based on Jinushi’s acclaimed romantic comedy series — is gearing up for a summer premiere on Japan’s TBS Network and is already generating buzz among anime fans.

Originally launched as a webcomic on Twitter in March 2022 before being picked up for serialization in Monthly Big Gangan, the story follows Sasaki, a weary 45-year-old office worker who finds solace in smoking breaks and his daily interactions with Yamada, the cheerful cashier at his local supermarket. A chance encounter with a mysterious woman named Tayama, who invites him to smoke behind the store, deepens their connection — with a twist that binds Yamada and Tayama’s identities.

The newly released teaser gives viewers their first animated glimpse at the pair’s quietly engaging dynamic, while reaction across social platforms has been warm, with many praising the gentle tone and mature storytelling on display. Voice cast announcements have also spotlighted Takuya Satō as Sasaki and Seena Hoshiki as Yamada/Tayama, adding names fans may recognize from prior works.

Fans can look forward to more details on the production team, full trailer, and streaming plans as the anime’s premiere draws nearer. With its blend of emotional depth and everyday charm, Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You looks poised to be one of 2026’s standout adaptations.
