A TV anime adaptation of Jinushi‘s Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You manga will air in 2026.
A commemorative illustration from Jinushi was released with the announcement.
Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You started as a Twitter comic in March 2022 before getting a standard serialization in Square Enix’s Big Gangan and a physical release. Manga Up! describes the premise as:
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!
