Anime News Network reviewer Lucas DeRuyter calls the episode a strong delivery of the leads' dynamic, with Sasaki's anxiety-driven tech struggles and Tayama's flustered reactions carrying the comedy. He rates it a solid entry, though not the week's best.","whyItMatters":"The episode confirms the show's appeal rests on Sasaki and Tayama/Yamada's chemistry rather than its plot, and the reviewer says it delivers that appeal.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eAnime News Network\u0026#39;s Lucas DeRuyter opens his review by noting that Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You lives or dies on how cute and likable its leads are in a given episode. Episode 4, he says, keeps that streak alive. Sasaki\u0026#39;s phone replacement reads as anxiety about breaking a device rather than age-driven tech illiteracy, and the cigarette-brand quiz gives Tayama a reason to worry her secret is out. The third act leans on summer heat, with Yamada in short sleeves and Tayama showing her midriff, and Sasaki\u0026#39;s earnestness keeps deflecting her teasing.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You lets Sasaki's flip phone break to force him into a new smartphone, a plot device that turns his tech anxiety into the episode's comedy engine.","twitterPost":"Sasaki's broken flip phone is a plot device that turns his tech anxiety into the episode's comedy.","threadsPost":"Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You uses Sasaki's broken flip phone to push him into a new smartphone, turning his tech anxiety into the episode's comedy engine.
