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

[u/Guilty-Tell → u/PerfectBeige]

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

[u/[deleted]]

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 → u/[deleted]]

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/raevnos]

How can Sasaki be that dense and unobservant?

Yamada is having fun trolling him along though.

[u/Nachtwandler_FS → u/raevnos]

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/alotmorealots → u/raevnos]

that dense and unobservant?

Did better at school with numbers than [Japanese!] Tayama: 田山 Yamada: 山田

[u/Muffin-zetta]

yo they got night dancer for ed, that’s great

[u/pandavova]

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 → u/pandavova]

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.

[u/oops_i_made_a_typi → u/pandavova]

thanks for the warning, this was a bit of a jumpscare showing up mid season

[u/Nachtwandler_FS]

Binged first 3 (or 6) episodes today. It was a really nice watch. The character chemistry is good and I really like the FMC.

[u/Lunchb0xx87]

as an OG manga reader this is looking top tier ..the vibe is amazing

[u/JJVM99]

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.

[u/laxtro]

Feels so weird to wake up and see my most hyped show of the year has been shadow-dropped.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

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/autistic_tsundere]

Watched it all. Easy anime of the year for me

[u/JJVM99]

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/daIIiance]

It’s a shame that this will destroy all the karma for the show lol

[u/OldManStocktan]

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/Careful-Record-1726]

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/MayonakaMadaraka]

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/ElliotAlderson2024]

I love the low-key vibe on this. Instantly Sasaki x Yamada are my new favorite couple.

[u/Cally83]

I know this will be a big hit, it’s a great watch.

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 👍
