aww it was so close.. but I get it they couldn’t pass that cliche moment where they almost realized but not yet...

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;)

Hilariously refreshing to see Sasaki sneak up on Yamada in Yamada mode instead of the other way round for once. Also love how Sasaki and Sasaki 2 Daigoro became bros.

The moment I realized Sasaki had his hair went down I was banking so hard on "Tamaya" melting from reuniting with her hero. Guess we did geta taste of that (and it was precious) but man, it's tragic how dude's dorkiness got him demoted to be just a reminder of him.

It’s adorable how dense the two of them are, haha.

Okay, Sasaki freaking out about every little thing is starting to get annoying. I get that he's insecure and jumpy, but he needs to figure out how to relax already. This unnecessary overreaction even extends to his explanation for why he started smoking. His reasoning is entirely normal, mundane even, but I'm guessing he figured that Tayama would (rightly) tease him for being a pushover. Honestly, I'm still shocked that his medical results from before came back as rosy as they did.
@heychrisj In complete agreement with this.

Bro, it has been just 8 years, how the fuck does both of them forget so much lmao
Sasaki is literally the guy she remembers.
And Sasaki should remember that he always smoked outside the shop since he supposedly did it every day for a long time.
I like this show but ngl I think they both may be a tiny bit retarded 😂
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~

I know that this episode was about the fact that they admire the other one without knowing it and that's cute and all. But after seeing Sasaki with his hair down and even talking about her past experience, she really should realize that it was him back then. They are both so unbelievably dense...

Well i think Sasaki takes the dub for todays episode.

Its rare seeing tayama being this upset and even contemplating to tell sasaki about the ashtray, but then the quick 180 when she see's Sasaki finding it for her. Not only that noticing that he put so much effort in finding for it by the dirty sleeves. That was so wholesome.

I thought tayama knew who sasaki was in relation to her past and the hero but i guess not but we are getting there slowly & one day we will get to see the same reaction again but with more intense emotions from tayama. That will be a treat to see. Same with sasaki too. But we have to be patient

Slowyama and saslowski lol the match made in heaven xD

Alright are we a 40 year old man or a 12 year old boy who still gets awkward accidentally touching a "girl he kinda likes" hand? Supposed to be an adult romance but we are getting a little juvenile here. Adults can feel nervous and awkward but that was a little much lol.

even the smallest gifts mean the world if its from someone you love like, and seeing her face once he gave it to her definitely proves it

I have so much fun with these two. Although the age gap still feels a bit off to me... the playful dynamic between friendship and flirting is fun.

The boss sees through Yamada like I see through the doggo.

@Tirinchas It took me like 2 minutes of pausing to work out that the dog was sitting down and not transparent.

Anyway, great episode with cracking sexual tension as the rain hammered down. Been there, lots of regrets :)

Ok, I'm enjoying this a lot, I think both of them are really cute (although I agree Sasaki gets a little too "teen boy" sometimes), but there's something that it's bothering me. I know that the whole thing about "Sasaki doesn't know Yamada and Tayama are the same cause he's slow" is played for laughs but how is that Yamada doesn't know that the guy from the past is Sasaki himself?? Unless you're telling me that Sasaki stopped going to the store for a long period of time so that when he came back Yamada didn't recognize him, it just doesn't make sense to me.

THIS QUIET ROMANCE HAS NEVER FELT MORE BEAUTIFUL.

I loved this episode. Every small gesture gave Sasaki and Tayama’s growing closeness more weight.

REVIEW: Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You Episode 8 | 8.7/10 ⭐

What moved me most happens in the rain. The typhoon pushes Sasaki and Tayama to sit side by side instead of in their usual spots, and their conversation about smoking slowly becomes personal. The episode never forces them closer. Their hesitations and lingering looks reveal what neither of them knows how to say yet. I loved feeling the distance between them disappear so naturally.

The ashtray had already brought them closer in the same quiet way. Sasaki finds it, cleans it and tries to make his effort sound like chance, but the dirt on his sleeve gives him away. Tayama understands without making him explain himself. That small object becomes a stronger sign of care than anything he could have said because both of them are still protecting what they feel.

The most beautiful moment comes when Tayama talks about the man who, eight years earlier, helped her realize how much her job mattered to her. Sasaki refuses to dismiss the memory as a whim and recognizes it as admiration. His words, their awkwardness after their hands touch and Tayama’s final thought connect that old memory to the man sitting beside her now. This quiet progress, built without a confession or shortcut, is what made the episode stay with me.

I think if the wind hadn’t knocked down the screen one or both of them might have worked it out. Slowsaki could have easily mentioned he regularly smoked out front or Tayama could have mentioned more details about that problem customer and triggered Sasaki’s memory. Still, I’m glad the story is actually revisiting that event, I wasn’t sure if it was just a bit of background that wouldn’t be referenced again.
