The streaming service ABEMA has released the opening and ending sequences of the ABEMA-exclusive pre-release version of the anime adaptation of Jinushi's manga "Super no Ura de Yani Suu Futari" (internationally: "Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You"). The two non-credit videos are now available on the official channels.
The ABEMA pre-release version starts on June 3, 2026, at 8:30 PM and includes a total of 12 episodes. This is a shortened version of the first six episodes of the TV version airing from July – each episode is about ten minutes long and follows the original order. Both the opening and ending differ musically and visually from the version later shown on television.
The opening of the pre-release version is titled "Kuzuri Nen" and comes from the Japanese band Zutto Mayonaka de Ii no ni. (abbreviated Zutomayo). The ending is set to the song "NIGHT DANCER" by imase. Both artists are also responsible for the TV version: Zutomayo contributes the opening "Ichijiku Kemuri," and imase the ending "Fiction." A second promotional trailer, using the TV song "Ichijiku Kemuri," is scheduled to be released at a later date.
"Super no Ura de Yani Suu Futari" tells the story of the overworked employee Sasaki, who meets Yamada (or Tayama), who works at a supermarket. The brief exchange at the hidden smoking spot behind the supermarket becomes a quiet routine for both. The manga started on March 9, 2022, on Jinushi's X channel (formerly Twitter) and already gained over 280,000 "likes" with its first chapter. The series is currently serialized in the magazine "Monthly Big Gangan" (Square Enix) and won first place in the Web Manga category at the "Next Manga Award 2022." The total circulation of the printed volumes exceeded three million copies in January 2026.
The TV broadcast will begin in July 2026 nationwide on 28 stations of the TBS network – Thursdays at 11:56 PM. Simultaneously, the series will be offered on ABEMA and Netflix as a simulcast.
