New character illustrations have been released for the upcoming anime adaptation of the manga by Jinushi. The images show the characters Sasaki, Tayama, Yamada, and Suzuki. At the same time, it was announced that voice actor Takahashi Shinya will take on the role of Suzuki.

Suzuki is described as a carefree character who is Sasaki's friend from university days and also his coworker. Takahashi Shinya thus joins the already confirmed main cast, which includes Sato Takuya as Sasaki and Hoshiki Seena as Yamada / Tayama.

On the occasion of the AnimeJapan 2026 event, a special campaign is planned: authentic cocoa cigarettes decorated with illustrations of Sasaki and Tayama will be distributed there. The sweet treats are to be given out at the TBS broadcaster's booth and to visitors of a special stage presentation.

The anime adaptation of "Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You" is being produced at Studio Asahi Production and is scheduled to premiere in July 2026. The source material, a quiet story about unexpected encounters and small breaks from the work routine, originally started as a webcomic on Twitter and has been serialized since 2022 in Square Enix's magazine Big Gangan.
This article was originally published in German. It was translated with technical support and editorially reviewed before publication.
