English Dub Review: Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You “Cheering Up Behind the Supermarket with You”
Overview
Between cigarettes, Tayama and Sasaki share the problems they’ve had at work…
Our Take
Picking up from the previous episode, the show continues to build on the charming chemistry between Sasaki and Yamada/Tayama through a series of heartfelt and lighthearted interactions. Rather than relying on grand romantic gestures, the episode focuses on the small moments that gradually strengthen their bond, showing how they become a source of comfort and encouragement for one another after the stresses of everyday work. Their conversations feel natural, their playful back-and-forth remains engaging, and the adult setting gives their growing relationship a refreshing sense of maturity, even if Sasaki’s obliviousness comes across equally as bad as half the male characters in “Black Clover”.
The rest of the proceedings also does an excellent job of letting subtle gestures and quiet emotions do the heavy lifting. Whether through a simple smile, a lingering glance, or a brief moment of closeness, the direction allows these understated interactions to leave a lasting impact without overplaying them. The soundtrack continues to elevate these scenes beautifully, while the visuals remain consistently solid, complementing the series’ calm, cozy atmosphere and making every emotional beat feel sincere.
Overall, this was another fantastic episode that proves this series doesn’t need dramatic twists or fast-paced romance to be engaging. Its slow-burn approach, lovable cast, and emphasis on meaningful everyday moments make it an easy show to relax with each week. While Sasaki’s dense personality occasionally stretches believability, his kind-hearted nature and the undeniable chemistry between the leads keep the story both charming and enjoyable, leaving me eager to see where their relationship goes next.
