Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You is set to officially premiere as part of Crunchyroll’s Summer anime lineup this July, with fresh episodes streaming weekly following the early mini-episode release.
Synopsis: Sasaki is an overworked salaryman navigating the corporate grind, powered by cigarettes and the cheerful service and smile of Yamada, the cashier at his favorite supermarket. However, one night after a tough shift, he arrives late to find Yamada absent. With no place left to smoke, his mood drops — until a pierced young woman calls out to him: “You can smoke here.”
