Production
Jinushi was serializing Rokurei - Tenseishi Rinne Kuyakusho Dairokkanbu Joreika Katsudouki in Monthly Big Gangan. He received advice from his editor to draw a short manga as an exercise in creative writing, which led him to creating the series.[1] Since Rokurei which was being serialized, was a supernatural story, the manga was drawn to be more realistic, and since the author had a background in customer service sales, the story was set in a supermarket.[2]
Publication
When the first chapter was posted on Twitter, the tweet received more than 190,000 likes (as of June 2, 2022), creating a huge response.[1] As of June 25, 2022, the total number of likes for the series had surpassed 2.5 million.[3]
On August 25, 2022, the serialization in the magazine began in Monthly Big Gangan.[3] In this issue, it appeared on the cover and in the opening color.[4] On the same day, the first volume of the book with newly written chapters was also released.[3][4]
As a result of this, the title was changed from Super no Ura de Yani Suu Hanashi (スーパーの裏でヤニ吸う話, "A Story About Smoking at the Back of the Supermarket") to Super no Ura de Yani Suu Futari (スーパーの裏でヤニ吸うふたり, "Behind the Supermarket, Smoking With You"), and chapters 4 to 16 that were posted on Twitter were deleted, but it was announced it will still continue on Twitter without change.
