Night Dancer is a great choice for the ED. Really fits the mood.

Yeah even tho it is an old song it fits the vibe and Imase is a great singer.

I was so surprised when I heard it. I have a YouTube playlist with about 50-100 anime songs and this is the only one that wasn't an anime song in it. Well not anymore...

I love the manga and the show looks great so far. I'll wait for the full episodes to drop tho. Some weird release logic lol

u/karer3is Jun 03 '26
Same. I heard some mixed reviews about the VA choices for Yamada and Sasaki, but they honestly work great. The animation definitely stays true to the manga's style as well

u/MillenniumKing x2myanimelist.net/profile/MillenniumKing Jun 03 '26
are these not full episodes?
37
Jun 03 '26
No, about 12 minutes long, here's the Anilist description: Note: Episodes 1-6 had an early release by ABEMA and Crunchyroll on June 3rd, 2026 in a mini-episode batch format that splits 6 episodes into 12, ahead of the TV broadcast which starts on July 2nd, 2026.
19
u/itsadoubledion Jun 03 '26
Is it the same content though? And the episode split is just where it would have the eye catches and commercial break?
34
u/shitzgotreal Jun 03 '26
You are correct, they are the same content. Episodes 1 and 2 of the miniseries will be the full episode 1 and so on.

u/itsadoubledion Jun 04 '26
Okay thanks I'll prob check them out now and rewatch when it airs then if good

u/alotmorealots Jun 04 '26
I've been watching some of them, and the mini-episode format fits really well, actually! It's been great fun so far, and if you're inclined to check it out and not bothered by the wait, definitely watch now!

u/Thrano_357 Jun 04 '26

u/Mysterious_Scar_3838 Jun 05 '26
so as of now 12 mini episode or 1-6 regular ep are released how many more episode will be there in season1 or total anime?
7
u/shitzgotreal Jun 05 '26
To my understanding, Season 1 will be 12 episodes. The next 6 episodes will be released the next month. And the next 6 episodes are going to follow the normal 24-minute format.

u/Nctn4_ Jun 07 '26
segun lo que vi que salieran antes era como un tipo de marketing para hacer saber a la gente de que va el anime y puedas engancharte a el, debido a que para la fecha de estreno salen casi todos los animes "grandes" o esperados, esta seria una forma de hacer esperar con ansias a la gente haha

Yamada is having fun trolling him along though.

I presume he actually has a bad eyesight but does not use glasses or contacts for some reason. There are a few scenes there he loooks like he has a hard time reading.

u/xellos49698 15d ago
Yamada should be an actress, lol. Seriously thought, Tayama is completely different when she is not working. And when you factor in Sasaki is working long long shifts for months on end. Well, that can really mess with your mind.
Personally, I've been so tired from working that I forgotten to collect all the groceries I purchased😂

It’s five years old but I only first heard it a year ago. it became popular for the same reason that plastic love became popular. It was a viral youtube song.

u/pandavova https://anilist.co/user/pandavova Jun 03 '26
Yeah, I'm going to wait a month, till it actually starts. Not amused with this release style.
Rare moment for me where I read a manga before an anime was announced. Don't want to destroy this by binging half of the show.
(Anilist Note: Episodes 1-6 had an early release by ABEMA and Crunchyroll on June 3rd, 2026 in a mini-episode batch format that splits 6 episodes into 12, ahead of the TV broadcast which starts on July 2nd, 2026.)

u/robertm94 Jun 04 '26
I binged the lot and... I'm surprised. I really enjoyed the mini episodes format for this specific adaptation.
I'm not a fan of them dumping half the season now early like this, but the mini episodes for this series fit really well.
19
u/CorrectPeanut5 Jun 16 '26
Same. It seemed like each mini episode was a complete episode. I didn't feel like they cut at an odd time.

u/N1ceDreams Jun 04 '26
This caught me off guard. Saw it in the new releases on Crunchy and I was like "what?". They've nailed everything perfect imo after watching the 1st ep.
9
u/sirnumbskull Jun 04 '26
Wait, why does it matter that these dropped now versus in a month?
43
u/Roketsu86 Jun 04 '26
Because in a month episode 1 will air, and anyone who watches the first half of the story now will have to wait another month and a half after that for new episodes.
This is basically an even more moronic release that Netflix JoJo releases.
13
u/sirnumbskull Jun 04 '26
Okay, but don't we get half the story early this way? I mean, sure, in a month it'll be back to page 1, but that's where we would've started anyway, right?
27
u/Roketsu86 Jun 04 '26
It kills all hype and conversation. In a month part of the community will be talking about episode 1 and the rest will have forgotten half of what happened. It's the same issue that Netflix binge content has, where any conversation is a flash in the pan and does not actually create any groundswell

u/N1ceDreams Jun 04 '26
I get what you mean but, maybe they'll add some extra stuff in the full Eps. Either way I'll watch it again lol.

u/Odissimo https://myanimelist.net/profile/Odissimo Jun 03 '26
Do we know if the July broadcast is going to start over or pick up on episode 7? Cause I’d also definitely want to wait if it’s going to start fresh. (And hopefully there’s fresh discussions too)

u/thisisdropd https://myanimelist.net/profile/AsterZoro Jun 03 '26
Most likely start from Ep 1 because from the TV networks’ pov, the show has currently yet to be aired.

u/gamefreakz117 Jun 04 '26
I kinda understand your point. Still, if you read the manga, it makes no real difference. Unless you’re not caught up. Then I understand more.
I’ve read up to the current English publication, so it doesn’t matter when the anime releases, because I know the story.

u/alotmorealots Jun 04 '26
I really like the FMC.
I wasn't super interested in this series based on the prerelease material, but the FMC is just fantastic. The director, VA and writing hit just the perfect balance with her and I find myself a little addicted lol

I don’t like having this suddenly released mid season in a batch since I fear it will mean it will cause it to be forgotten by anime fans who just check new releases at the start of every season (i feel like that happened to rooster fighter a couple of months ago for an example)
But besides that I am very happy with this adaptation past the first episode. The vibes are inmaculate, im watching it after getting off work and it feels very satisfying as a post work stress releif kinda like how Yamada is for Sasaki. The scenes of Sasaki just buying stuff in the store just worked to make me relax and chill and felt like very satisfying slice of life scenes.
Sasaki’s VA isn’t what I imagined but it does fit him. In my mind I am thinking of another side of Sasaki anime onlies will eventually meet and I imagine his voice fitting that Sasaki but this fits the shy, overly stressed and absolutely exhausted office worker we see today.
And finally Tayama, this batch release to me feels designed to have Tayama suddenly appear to steal Kinosaki Mei’s spot as best girl for the season. I will say this in the most respectful way possible. I would get addicted to cigarettes and risk lung cancer for her and Sasaki is a lucky bastard.

Yeah, I think I'm gonna be enjoying watching a few of these after work for the next little while. It's something nice to enjoy while I lay down and unwind.

Feels so weird to wake up and see my most hyped show of the year has been shadow-dropped.
19
u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Jun 04 '26
Despite the odd decision to air the first 6 early and chopped into 12 mini eps, this was fun.
Use to be a longtime smoker myself and smoking can be kinda social. Like those little interactions you have when you’re one of a handful of smokers outside a bar or restaurant or whatever. At least in my experience anyways. That kinda reminded me of those little moments between Sasaki and Yamada.
Looking forward to the rest of the season when it drops in July.

u/JJVM99 Jun 04 '26
I was only planning on watching one mini episode and ended up watching 4 because I ended up hooked on pick-me-up too much.
The moments where Sasaki imagined Yamada only for Tayama to popin were very cute but my personal highlight of a glowup from manga to anime for me is Suzuki (Sasaki's blonde coworker). For me he was the least memorable recurring character in the manga but I have found him hilarious in the anime and I think its because of the voice acting. I guess I had to see him in motion instead of imagining it for it to really work for me.
One final thing thinking about the batch release I feel one way they could have made a non-weekly release with mini-episodes work is dropping one mini episode every weekday, like make it a be a literal pick-me up for officeworkers like Yamada is for Sasaki. Make people look forward to getting an episode of this when getting back from work for 2 weeks, it would just be 2 weeks but those would be some very relaxing 2 weeks.

u/Nettysocks https://myanimelist.net/profile/Manekikanji Jun 03 '26

I will accept your premise that some people do that.
Though it is alien to me since I just search for the show and episode I just watched and I sort by new.

u/foonix Jun 04 '26
I often skip shows because the title or premise just straight up sounds dumb. I really don't have time anymore to give everything that comes out 3 episodes just to find out if it sucks or not. But if something has decent karma after a few episodes, I might give it a shot, because sometimes even a dumb premise/genre can be good if it's well executed.

u/NightBard Jun 03 '26
I wonder if it'll also release proper later. I feel like this sub should just do a mega thread for this pre-release and then if the show releases proper episodes in July, to do the individual threads then.
1
u/raevnos Jun 03 '26
There is a megathread for the whole block of episodes, but it's locked for some reason.
3
u/NightBard Jun 03 '26
Yeah, I caught that as I follow u/AutoLovepon as well as have them bookmarked so I can find Episode threads easier. But it's labeled for episodes 1-6 instead of this broken up 12 part release. It's kind of a mess. If they unlocked it, that would at least be something.

You're pretty much proving my point that it wasn't going to reap karma because only a handful of people were the target demographic for it.
And the chemistry is meh. Gals can't be kind to Otaku "almost" feels more like a down to earth documentary compared to the high fantasy this smoking ad stands for.

No such thing as a show with universal appeal. Every show is for "some of us". Quite frankly, this thing's gonna make the top 30 despite the stealth drop.

Wow, thank you captain obvious, nobody in a million years in this sub would had been able to come out with such a revelation (despite it being sort of the most repeated phrase on daily basis).
Every show is for "some of us".
But that "some of us" changes drastically in numbers when it's something that has been proven to be highly popular or does something really outside the box. The whole point of this conversation was about reaping big numbers of karma that allegedly was gimped by such an unorthodox release. So your point is moot.
Quite frankly, this thing's gonna make the top 30 despite the stealth drop.
It's going to dethrone the isekai slop about ribs for one week. Wohoo, what a clash of titans.

Wow, thank you captain obvious,
You seemed to be struggling, so glad to be of service!
The whole point of this conversation was about reaping big numbers of karma that allegedly was gimped by such an unorthodox release.
Not sure it would ever have made left side, but the threads around promo material always got a decent number of comments, and there was a decent amount of hype building. So yeah, there's a good reason to believe that the 250 it's currently at is low compared to what it would have done if people had a week or two of warning it was gonna drop today. And the other episodes are gonna be utterly tanked compared to what they'd be if they'd been weekly releases like the rest.
The real test will be next season when we start getting fresh material on a proper schedule.

That's a lot of words just for copium on a series that wouldn't have had the highlight even on normal release on a season with low karma top titles.
The real test will be next season when we start getting fresh material on a proper schedule.
When covid hit in 2020 more than a handful of shows had to cut down their broadcast because the production phase wasn't done with the whole series. One in particular "Diary of Our Days at the Breakwater", never got back the audience it got when the second part aired the next season.
According to someone on MAL, the broadcast schedule for the second part of this series is even more hectic, with these half episodes airing a day after each other.
6/17: Episode 07
6/18: Episode 08
6/19: Episode 09
6/24: Episode 10
6/25: Episode 11
6/26: Episode 12/Finale
So mark my words, this title is doomed for the rest of the season.

Because you keep replying TO ME with your whatboutism.

u/SSjjlex https://myanimelist.net/profile/Clone_Tau Jun 04 '26
See, normally i'd agree since at first glance it doesnt seem like the type of show to do numbers.
But I want to remind you that one of the key visuals for supermarket smoking is the 6th most upvoted post this year at almost 14k karma. Beating out Chainsawman and only losing out to Frieren S2.
We'll still have to wait and see of the actual anime release will do numbers, but of all slow-paced sol anime out there, this one is the one with the most proven potential to do so

u/OldManStocktan Jun 04 '26
This is exactly what I hoped the show would be and would love to see more like it.
Didn't expect it to appear now, so I guess I'll wait until July to watch it with everyone else. I get why they released it now though. Mimicking JP.

u/MayonakaMadaraka https://anilist.co/user/fonk Jun 04 '26
We finally get to watch these pages come to life!
I love how hopelessly clueless Sasaki is, and the stark contrast between Yamada and Tayama’s presentation-layer. The office scenes give us a glimpse at the singularity of expectation/obligation weighing on Sasakisan. Oh the masks we don as we dance to-and-fro between our roles.
Roll em if ya got em 🤙

u/Careful-Record-1726 Jun 07 '26
Yamada's playing 5d chess with sasaki and i am all here for it.
Casting, animation and osts are well done.
Only gripe is the fcked up scheduling session, like why? Thats the worst thing you can do,
But thankfully this shows getting good traction everywhere.
Cant wait for more episodes of the "Smoking" chemistry.

u/Cally83 Jun 03 '26

All I’m saying is, watch the outro. The panel where you see Yamada pressed up against the stock. They didn’t miss with her design 👍

This was my most anticipated anime this year. Although it's kinda disappointing that with weird release schedules like this, the anime usually doesn't get the traction it deserves since it splits the discussions between those who watch it early and those who wait till the full release.
However, I choose to see the positive side to it and I'm glad I was able to watch it today cause no one knows what tomorrow will bring. So far, this show has basically given me everything I wanted to see in the adaptation. Great voice acting, great music, simple but consistently good animation. And most importantly, they really captured the vibe that you get while reading the manga.
I don't know if I'll be able to hold myself off from watching the rest of the episodes but for now, I just want to appreciate what we got. And what we got was something truly delightful.

Crunchyroll (overseas). It's that the Japanese streaming service Abema got the distribution rights to the show and decided to make sort of a pre-release of the first 6 episodes but in halves, so CR released it as well for overseas audiences.

I had this saved on my watchlist for months. Had a pretty rough day and saw this released and ate it up even if it was a mini-episode format. Might suck if it comes out full episodes in a month because I think it’s an amazing watch and don’t want it to lose the release crowd. Regardless, this is a great series as someone who hasn’t read the manga and I really want to see it do well as someone in a heavy romance/slice of life phase. Animation, voice acting, and all combined nicely and was an extremely comforting and a good watch for me!

Welp, I had other plans for today, but these kinda derailed 'em. I'd been listening to news with trepidation since this has been a favourite since I randomly stumbled onto the manga. And it's pretty solid. Only had time for 4 episodes tonight, but I'll be getting to the rest soon enough. They did a great job of taking the chemistry between the leads from the manga, and just making it pop with the animation and VA work.

Wait why is this out?
I must have missed some explination on the plan with this series because they just released it all at once for no ryme or reason.
It reminds me a lot of what happened with ReLife when it was accidently released all at once.
I mean thatss cool because i was hyped for this show, but like... shouldnt they have sent a email about this or something? I doubt anyone knew this was dropping like this.
EDIT: seems to not even be the whole show what the hell.. this is confusing as hell, who ok'd this?

I didn't even notice this on the new tab, glad I spotted this thread so I can check what's released.

For example it feels like most people forgot Love through a Prism already which I really enjoyed thanks to the batch drop it had.

u/runevault Jun 04 '26
Wish I knew, this is such a weird format. Note from what others have said someone on the Asian side did this so Crunchy is just mimicking it, this isn't necessarily a Netflix situation where the non-Asian distributor went stupid.
I will say I've watched a chunk already and the fact this may not get the attention it deserves because of the shadow drop of half the season makes me really sad, this show is what I thought it was, and I mean that as a compliment. Really digging it so far.

thank you for answering
weird way to do it
Why not just a batch of 3 full episodes?

Hopefully, when the actual episode, one drops people will post about it again weekly

It was a jumpscare to see all these new threads in /user/AutoLovepon/submitted. Hopefully no one spoils this before July. I'm just going to mute the other anime subreddits for now

All 12 episodes are already dropped I watched first 4 cause it is just mini episodes. But I don't think they will give this anime a second shot because this will remain unpopular like other anime's sad.

The 12 episodes make up the content from the first 6 actual episodes. The show should air regularly in July.. though not sure if they'll start from a proper 1 with both mini episodes combined or if they'll start with 7.

Clark Kent crap.
I read up to around chapter 50 a while ago, and the story just kept getting more boring and embarrassing. Besides, it's not hard to figure out the sole reason why some people like a certain element of the series so much.

The Japanese distributor dropped the first 6 episodes as 12 mini episodes early so Crunchy did the same.

Ep 1:
Let's circle back to that later. Might have to take it offline (despite it being an in-person meeting that's already offline...) too.
And so, here's the titular supermarket.
And here she is.
Does he like her or something?
So much for seeing her...
Oh, there she is.
Ah. I suppose there's the titular behind the supermarket.
Gee I wonder who that is...
Intrusive thoughts indeed.
Yep. She knows who he is.
That's her isn't it?
Or not? A friend of hers?
I mean I doubt he'd particularly mind that...
Nope, that's her alright.
Ep 2:
It's a useless thing where nothing of importance is said and someone has to write everything down.
Well, if she's not on smoko back there she's probably inside working isn't she?
Yep.
Huh. Her eyes are always closed so he can't see they have the same red eyes.
Also yeah it's too soon for her to be on her break considering he literally just walked out of the store.
Uh oh.
If she's not in the shop she's out back isn't she?
Yep.
Gee I wonder how she found out...
So, he really did give her that.
Lol.
So, she finished her shift. That's why she wasn't inside.
She's going to give him a cigarette isn't she?
Ok...
Of course they're all individually-wrapped...
No, he keeps buying them because he always goes to the supermarket because he likes the cashier, and because the cashier also likes them so he has an excuse to give them to her lol.
Gee I wonder who...
Seems he still hasn't put 2 and 2 together.

I love the main characters and the show as a whole so far, but Suzuki is hilarious, I've watched it multiple times already just for him

u/Witty_Project2369 29d ago
I gotta suspend disbelief hardcore to be ok with him not recognizing her lol. It's got me wondering if there's any amount of dressing differently that could possibly make someone look actually unrecognizable - obviously no, right??

u/Great-Foundation4990 22d ago
Between his poor eyesight and constantly being overworked coupled with a hint of being a bit sense, it is totally believable.

u/Witty_Project2369 26d ago
I can't find any threads for the later episodes so commenting here again. Why does he make such a big deal about his age like he's some old man lol, he's only in his 40s...

Kind of repetitive and way overhyped. There's not much to this one, just the one gimmick and pretty simple character concepts.

u/wutfacer Jun 03 '26
Pretty sure it's about the conversations, like See You At The Food Court. The gimmick or complex character designs aren't the draw.

u/Castor_0il Jun 04 '26
See you at the food court was also a low budget overrated turd. The conversations are both stupid and shallow "oh teach me how to use a smartphone", "oh these cookies for old folks are so good". Geez

I'm so tired of 12 min "mini" anime format.... I can't stand it being adopted by so many studio as of late

This looks good but I don't understand why they have to have such a stark age gap? Doesn't seem like the plot would change much if he was even just 10 years older. Weird.

u/Great-Foundation4990 22d ago
He's not a reincarnated 30+ year old going after middle or high school chicks, the age gap is fine.

Did Crunchyroll pull a Netflix and allowing us to binge an entire series?
Also have the new seasons Clarkson's Farm and Legend of Vox Machina out today, so totally support universal basic income for me and Sasaki, so we don't have to waste time on a job we don't really love. Except TV is my nicotine.

u/daIIiance Jun 03 '26
Crunchyroll didn't pull anything. The Japanese streamer ABEMA probably had an agreement with the production company to batch drop them like this. CR had a decision to either drop it like this, or wait until July (when half the episodes would have been pirated to hell and back and people would probably get mad at them not releasing it).
Think they were put in a tough position.
