'Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You' is an upcoming anime series that will debut on Crunchyroll in July 2026. This romantic comedy, based on the manga by Jinushi, stands out due to its unconventional title and mature themes. The story revolves around Sasaki, a weary middle-aged salaryman who finds solace in visiting a grocery store where he interacts with Yamada, a cheerful grocery clerk. Unbeknownst to him, Yamada also has a different persona as Tayama, with whom he shares a smoking habit outside the store. This duality adds depth to the narrative, making it a must-watch for fans of the genre. Unlike typical romantic comedies that focus on youthful relationships, this series explores the complexities of adult life and work, appealing to a more mature audience. Produced by Asahi Productions, the show is set to air in Japan before its streaming release on Crunchyroll, which has already revealed the opening and ending sequences.
