Who's the more realistic smoker? Anime fans think they already have an answer.

As Chainsmoker Cat and Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You air side by side this season, fans have been comparing their very different portrayals of smoking.

While Yani has become a viral sensation for her chaotic, over-the-top nicotine addiction, many viewers argue that Tayama captures the quieter, more authentic habits and atmosphere of real-life smokers.

That contrast has sparked plenty of discussion online. Some love Yani's absurd comedy and anti-smoking satire, while others appreciate Tayama's grounded, character-driven approach.
