Four additional voice actors have been announced for the TV anime adaptation of Jinushi's manga "Super no Ura de Yani Suu Futari" (English title: "Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You"). At the same time, the production team released a new key visual featuring the main characters of the series.
The story revolves around the overworked office worker Sasaki and the supermarket employee Tamayama, who grow closer in the designated smoking area behind the store.
According to the announcement, Toa Yukinari takes on the role of supermarket manager Gotō, who amusingly observes the relationship between Sasaki and Tamayama. Megumi Toyoguchi voices the experienced cashier Ōno with her calm demeanor. Rikuya Yasuda lends his voice to the fruit and vegetable department head Obata, affectionately called "Oba," while Yoko Hikasa embodies the energetic and fiery cashier supervisor Maezawa. The new key visual shows Sasaki and Tamayama at the center, surrounded by their colleagues Gotō, Ōno, Obata, Maezawa, as well as Sasaki's friend and coworker Suzuki.
Comments from the Voice Actors
Toa Yukinari (Gotō): "I can finally tell you all! Hooray! I've loved the source material for a long time, and it's a fond memory that I was a bit dazed during the audition (laughs). The immense love everyone involved has for this work is palpable in every recording! It's simply fantastic! Excuse my vocabulary. Look forward to it with great anticipation!"
Megumi Toyoguchi (Ōno): "The recordings are so much fun every week that I can't stop grinning at Sasaki and Tamayama's interactions. I'm constantly the 'grinning Megumi behind the microphones' ♡. Feel free to grin along with me in front of the TV (laughs). Look forward to the broadcast!"
Rikuya Yasuda (Obata): "I'm so happy to be part of this wonderful work and this wonderful cast. In the calm and precious recording studio, I was the only one running around completely drenched in sweat. Please look forward to the broadcast!"
Yoko Hikasa (Maezawa): "Regardless of the love romance between Sasaki and Yamada, Maezawa runs wild freely. Check it out!"
Shinya Takahashi (Suzuki): "This work is so great that I want to be part of this world myself. Wait with great anticipation for the broadcast!"
