Over the years, plenty of exciting romance anime have made us blush as two protagonists fight the urge to profess their inner feelings. (Or give in!) The push and pull of love as portrayed in anime can be spectacular, but there’s something different going on in the upcoming anime series Smoking Behind the Supermarket With You, which is set to air on Crunchyroll this summer.

This sounds like an intriguing concept! The blend of romance and humor in anime can create some memorable moments. I’m looking forward to seeing how this story unfolds in 2026!
