I was thrilled when I found out “Smoking Behind the Supermarket With you” not only became a manga hit but was also adapted as an anime. This is one of my favorite Slice of Life manga and Yamada+Sasaki or Tayama+Sasaki make a great couple costume idea indeed! The costume is especially easy for the guys!

Dress up as Tayama

Here’s how to score Tayama’s cool outfit

	Auburn (Red Brown) Wig Tayama’s hair is a lovely shade of auburn, she sports bangs with some longer parts of her hair hanging out. On the back, she ties it with a bun. This wig was made especially for Tayama’s hairstyle and has pretty good reviews.
	Gold Bar Earring Tayama has 2 gold bar earrings. This is option 1 for the gold bar. I like how the bar starts immediately without a hook
	Gold Bar Earring Option 2 This is also a great alternative because the bar is even longer
	Ear Cuff Earrings Tayama sports ear cuffs at the top part of her ear
	Black Choker Necklace Sport a black choker necklace, preferably with a buckle detail
	Cigarette Prop Of course, you need to bring a cigarette. You can buy this prop if you prefer not to bring the real thing
	Faux Leather Jacket Look just as cool as Tayama in a faux leather jacket
	White T-shirt dress If you want to save a bit, you can actually choose to wear any outfit underneath the leather jacket since the leather jacket is what stands out the most. But if you want to be even more accurate, you can try for one of her first few outfits in the show. This white T-shirt dress will also be a great staple in your wardrobe
	Waist Belt Cinch your waist with a black belt that preferably has a gold/brass knuckle
	Sheer Black Stockings Tayama sports a pair of sheer black stockings/tights
	White Boots Finally, end your attire with a pair of white slouchy boots

Dress up as Yamada

Yamada is the cheerful version of Tayama. Wear her work attire and make sure to put that professional smile on your face! For the makeup, you can add some blush to highlight her cheerful face

	Red Wig There are 2 wigs available – the first one is just the wig itself.
	Red Wig Set with Bandana and Hairclip This set comes with the wig, bandana, and hairclip all in one
	Button Down Shirt Wear a button-down shirt. Yanada’s shirt has vertical stripes on them but this is an unnecessary detail to get your cosplay look across. None the less, Here’s one vertical-triped shirt you can wear
	Red Hairclip If you opted to buy the wig only, then gets yourself a red hairclip and attach it to the left side of your hair
	Red Bandana Then use the bandana on your hair the way Yamada does it
	Red Apron Wear a red apron over your button-down shirt and a basic pair of black slacks
	ID with clip Clip on your ID on the left strap of your apron

Dress up as Sasaki

Sasaki reminds me of a more comical version of Saito Hajime with the sharp facial features and the cigarette. The costume of Sasaki is very simple and there are two props that I would highly recommend you have to make yourself look more distinctly Sasaki – the cigarette, briefcase, and the plastic bag. Even better, if you have Yamada/Tayama with you

	Cigarette The cigarette is the most important prop you will need to have.
	Red Necktie Sport a red necktie
	Suit and Pants Wear a suit and pants in a dark blue shade
	Oxford Shirt Wear a basic white oxford shirt underneath
	Briefcase Carry a briefcase with you for that ultimate Japanese office worker look
	Plastic Bag And my favorite prop – carry a plastic bag. If you want to be extra creative, draw the logo of the convenience store (SS) on it. Placed an image of the logo on the bottom

Here’s a look at the logo of the supermarket, which you can draw on the bag for an extra fun detail:

Here’s how Tayama’s getup looks like when it’s all pieced together!
