New Cast News and Release Date Announced for Super no Ura de Yani Suu Futari Anime!
The countdown is accelerating for the Super no Ura de Yani Suu Futari (Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You) anime, created by Jinushi and boasting a large fan base. According to the official announcement, four new names have joined the series' voice cast: Toa Yukinari, Megumi Toyoguchi, Rikuya Yasuda, and Yōko Hikasa. Additionally, it was announced that the highly anticipated production will meet audiences with a limited preview on the Abema platform in Japan on June 3rd.
This series actually began its life as a Twitter (X) phenomenon and quickly found its place in Square Enix's Monthly Big Gangan magazine. Proving its quality by winning first place in the web manga category at the Next Manga Awards held in 2022, it has been one of the most anticipated anime adaptations ever since. The story focuses on the intimate and adult-oriented friendship between Sasaki, a middle-aged salaryman overwhelmed by the stress of work, and Tayama, a mysterious and cool woman who secretly smokes behind a supermarket.
The newly joined voice actors will bring the series' side characters to life, adding depth to the story. The inclusion of experienced names like Yōko Hikasa and Megumi Toyoguchi in the cast has created great excitement among fans. As previously announced, the lead roles are played by the legendary voice Akio Otsuka (Sasaki) and the talented Miho Okasaki (Yamada/Tayama). This strong cast is preparing to bring the manga's unique peaceful yet melancholic atmosphere to the screen.
Seen as a modern example of the "iyashikei" (healing/relaxing) genre, this production draws attention by appealing not only to young people but also to adult anime lovers. Following the June 3rd preview, the series' general broadcast schedule and its status on international platforms are expected to be clarified. If you want to take a moment away from the hustle and bustle of daily life and share in a sincere story, you should definitely add the Super no Ura de Yani Suu Futari anime to your list.
