The start date for the TV anime adaptation of Jinushi's manga "Super no Ura de Yani Suu Futari" (also known as "Yanisuu") has been set: the first episode will air on July 9, 2026, at 23:56 on the TBS network (28 stations). Alongside this, a second main PV has been released, featuring for the first time the TV opening theme "Ichijiku Kemuri" by the band Zutto Mayonaka de Ii no ni. (ZUTOMAYO).
The story revolves around the stressed office worker Sasaki, who regularly visits the supermarket in his neighborhood after work. There, he is served by the friendly cashier Yamada, whose smile gives him small moments of relief. When Yamada is not there one evening and Sasaki can't find a place to smoke, a conspicuously dressed woman named Tayama approaches him and leads him to a hidden smoking area behind the store. What initially seems like a chance encounter develops into a special connection between the two.
The new PV not only shows Sasaki and Tayama during their conversations in the smoking area, but also the supporting characters: Goto (voiced by Toa Yukinari), Ono (Megumi Toyoguchi), Maesawa (Yoko Hikasa), Kobata (Rikuya Yasuda), and Suzuki (Shinya Takahashi). A particular highlight is a scene where Sasaki's careless remark visibly surprises Tayama.
In addition to the TV broadcast, an exclusive early version has been streaming on ABEMA since June 3, 2026. This condenses the first six episodes of the TV version into short, roughly ten-minute episodes—twelve in total. The ABEMA version uses its own opening theme: "Kuzuri Nen," also by ZUTOMAYO, as well as the ending theme "NIGHT DANCER" by imase. The TV ending theme is titled "Fiction," also by imase.
On July 4 at 20:30, ABEMA will air a special program where voice actors Takuya Sato (Sasaki), Seena Hoshiki (Yamada/Tayama), and Shinya Takahashi (Suzuki) chat about the series while holding cola cigarettes.
The original manga by Jinushi first launched on Twitter (now X) in March 2022 and quickly gained a large fanbase, with over 280,000 likes for the first page. Since then, the series has continued in the magazine Monthly Big Gangan (Square Enix). In 2022, it won first place in the Web Manga category at the "Next Manga Awards." The printed volumes have reached a total circulation of over three million copies (as of January 2026).
The animation is produced at Studio Asahi Production under the direction of Masato Suzuki and Aoi Mori. The series composition is handled by Mio Inoue, character designs are by Tomoka Otaki, and the music is composed by Shin Kono and Sayaka Aoki. In addition to TBS, the anime will also air on AT-X starting July 12. After the TV premiere, episodes will be available for streaming on ABEMA and Netflix from July 10, with additional platforms following from July 16.
