Ef-ace again?
You sure don't get tired of them.
You mean "F/ACE."
Oh, my god, wait! Wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait
It is pretty funny watching our child
lose her mind over her oshi.
Onee-chan's all scary
when she loses her mind, so no.
It's not like you're ever going to meet him,
so you're better off studying.
I'm Utage Kinoshita, age 16.
His expression right
there was literally perfect!
I'm a high school student who survives off
my oshi as my family side-eyes me.
How can you look this cool?!
Tamon-kun saved the world
with just his face again.
Okay, this should do it for the angle.
Perfect.
My oshi is Tamon Fukuhara-kun.
You Need Money to Support Your Oshi!
He's the sexy and wild member of F/ACE,
whose handsome face is too OP
and is way too hot
for a high school student.
The Reason I Continue to Evolve
Tamon Fukuhara
He's continuously giving girls
all across Japan fantasies
with his electrifying performances
that put pro dancers to shame.
He's eventually going to be arrested
for being-too-hot crimes.

16 years old,

I want to make everyone in the world smile.
He was so baby and innocent
at his audition two years ago.
He's grown up so much.

I-It's here!
No, wait. Calm down, me.
F/ACE's first T-Dome concert has 95 applicants
for each ticket. My chances are slim.
No matter the result, I decided
to accept my fate long ago.
Ah!
I got in!

Housekeeping Made Easy
Leave it to Us! Housekeeping Service
Sorry about this, Kinoshita-san.
Huh?
I called you in so suddenly on your day off.
Oh, it's fine.
Toda-san ended up
in the hospital with appendicitis,
so you'll be taking care of the housekeeping
at this residence for a while.
Kinoshita
Yes, ma'am! Leave it to me.
You need money to
support your oshi!
I started this part-time housekeeping job
because of the great pay and terms,
and now, I've finally got the hang of it.
But this Tamon Fukuhara person
has the same name as Tamon-kun

Name: Tamon Fukuhara
It's our little secret, my little kitten.
Is it actually him?!
Forbidden Garden
Come on, this isn't a self-insert fic!
This is the building, right?
Pardon me.
No way.
While he looks insanely pale,
there's no way I wouldn't recognize the face
that's been burned into my retinas every day.
Fukuhara-sama, I'll be using your vacuum.
Oh, sure.
Badump
Th This is
That time I came to make money to support
my oshi, but it was actually his place!
Pardon me.
Maybe he's just really shy
when he's not working.
Okay, where's this vacuum
Fukuhara-sama, I'm sorry
to bother you again.
Where do you keep the detergent?
N-No one told me someone so young
was going to show up.
I can't go into work mode at home.
What am I going to do?
She totally thought, "Holy crap,
what a totally gloom-and-doom loser.
Get a stinkbug stuck up your nose and die!"
I-I definitely didn't go that far
I'm finished! I'm gonna be exposed!
It's been revealed that Tamon Fukuhara
is actually a gloom-and-doom
loser with 0 friends lolololololol
lololololololololololol
So disappointed
Give me back my money
Yikes
That's hilarious
"Sexy & wild" my ass
Pandered to women too much
That's hilarious
He's a total gloom-and-doom loser
lololololololololol
Don't try so hard
You can always tell when an introvert
tries to be
an extrovert
Get a stinkbug
stuck up your
nose and die
Gimme back my money
She's going to make a post about me
with lolololololololololol written on it!
I'm gonna be a laughingstock to the world,
and all the fans who supported me
will label me a traitor!
Traitor
I'm gonna get stabbed and bleed out
in some midnight alley.
Man, my life was harsh.
I should've never been born.
Is this seriously the same person?
Is he really the famous Tamon-kun,
who's known to be the ultimate eye candy?
He does have his first concert at the Dome
coming up, so maybe he's just tired.
What am I going to do
if Tamon-kun retires from anxiety?!
He reveals the reason for his
retirement as anxiety
BREAKING
NEWS
F/ACE's Tamon Fukuhara-san Announced His Retirement
Thank you for everything.
Then I'll die!
I can't ever let that happen!
Um, Fukuhara-sama.
I've actually been a huge fan of yours
ever since your audition two years ago.
I probably shouldn't say this while I'm
working right now, but I just have to say it.
I'm so happy that you were born,
and I'm so, so happy
that you became a singer!
I couldn't be happier!
I'm so sorry.
Huh?
If you're that big a fan,
I'm sure seeing the IRL version of me
just shattered your image of me.
You must be so hurt.
I've been deceiving fans and hurting them,
so I'm just absolute trash, aren't I?
I'm lesser than industrial waste.
You're not deceiving anyone!
Honestly, nobody should be
supporting me at all.
I'm just a phony.
What? A phony?
Tamon-kun!
I adore you!
Congrats on your debut
I love you!
Congrats on your debut!
Fukuhara-sama.
Are you looking down on our love?
You're not a phony.

Your duality seems even
more intense than mine.
But I must say
I'm amazed you decided to play that character,
considering your actual personality.
Er, yes. That was decided by my agency.
GJ, agency.
There's someone I look up to.
And it's ridiculous for me to think this
more like re-die-culous
But I wanted to make
everyone in the world smile,

But nobody can smile seeing a guy
exuding as much doom and gloom as me.
I see.
His character might be an act,
but it's not fake.
His feelings are real.
That's why he resonates with so many people.

You're not a phony.
Listen up.
We have no need for your true self.
Never let it show.
Fukuhara-san?!
I suddenly got really famous
And all kinds of people would
say all kinds of things to me
Despite everything the fans said
I couldn't believe what I wanted to anymore.
But I found that version of myself
insanely pathetic and trust myself the least.
Maybe I'll go to a jungle, the outback,
or a deserted island where no one else lives,
and spend the rest of my days there.

You were just talking about your dream,
so how did we end up here?!
If you don't believe me, I'm going to keep
supporting you until you do believe me,
Gloomyhara-san and all!
Gloomyhara?
Gloom.
I will not let him quit!
Eyes on you. We are F/ACE!
Hello, we're F/ACE!
I'm the conductor of love and positivity!
I'm the sexy and wild member,
Tamon Fukuhara!
I may be the youngest, but please rely on me.
I'm the prince of the group, Ori Sakaguchi.
Happy, pretty, and everyone's angel!
I'm Natsuki Ishibashi!
I love rice balls! I'm Keito Tachibana.
I guess you could call me
the leader of the group.
And last but not least
I'm Kai.
And finally, today
Finally, finally!
Fan Name
We'll be deciding on our fan name.
Fasoname!
It says fan.
Thanks for all the ideas
you gave us, everyone!
There were so many names we'd never
think of so our minds were just blown!
There were so many names we'd never
think of, so our minds were just blown!
So this is this.
You didn't expose me, did you?
I did not!

The last time I peeked into your fridge,
I was so surprised at how little was in there.
And your trash was filled with
instant food containers.
Have you been eating properly?
I'm sorry I'm so environmentally unfriendly.
I'm sorry that I'm trash producing more trash.
That's not what I'm saying.
I'm just surprised you're able to sing and
dance like that with your current diet.
Er, yes. In exchange, I'm unable to
move at all while I'm at home.
As I said, I'll be making you food
from now on as well.
I don't really eat other people's homemade food.
My idol was extremely malnourished.
Food greatly affects your mental health!
Please have a taste.
I made it wearing gloves and a mask,
so it'd be just like eating at a restaurant.
Om
You fraud.
I can't allow you to starve, Tamon-kun.
Here you go.
Om
T-Tamon-kun?!
Oh, man.
That's definitely my type.
Huh? Wha? Huh? Wh-Wh-What?!
He's talking about the fried chicken
Hey Can I eat you all up right now?
Again, he's talking about the fried chicken
Tamon-kun
Here lies Utage Kinoshita, age sixteen.
Her cause of death
Tamon-kun was too sexy.
Utage Kinoshita
Gloom.
Th-That startled me
Huh? That's my line!
I literally was about to perish.
You didn't mention that you'd
suddenly flip over to work mode!
I-I'm sorry.
I've been so busy lately that
my on and off switch seems a bit buggy.
Man, my face hurts
My muscles are twitching
Gloomyhara-san?! Are you okay?!
Gloomyhara-san!
Becoming the ideal idol to your fans
That must be so difficult.
But you still push through.
You work hard because you
want to see everyone smile.
Tuna
I guess I'll make spring rolls for dinner.
T-Tamon-kun?
Huh?
You're exuding your pheromones
way more than usual today.
What do you eat to exude so much?
I recently had some canned tuna
spring rolls that were really good.
Oh, and ginger pork!
Wait, that's my recipe.
Eating good food just
gives you endless strength.
What a safe answer for an 18 year old.
All right, let's have
F/ACE get ready to perform.
Right!
Kinoshita-san.
Yes, what is it?
I was told to take a selfie
at home for the fan club.
A candid shot of Tamon-kun at home?!
But I just can't get into work mode
at home What should I do?
We must not let these photos
out into the world.
Well
Tamon-kun is a fan service
machine that never misses,
Smooch
Smooch
and he can't help but do
what fan signs ask him to.
Do the Soran Bushi
There are times he gets played,
but he's a forgiving god that does
what's requested of him anyway.
Do a triple axel
The end.
Which means
Flip on that switch
I've locked onto your heart!
Wow.
Just waking up

At-home clothes
This is so much fun!
Personal desires begone!

Begone
Thank you very much.
Thanks to you, I was able to take
a selfie without throwing up.
Exactly what part of your face
would make you throw up?
I can understand your beauty throwing
the laws of physics out of whack, but
The fact that I'm taking selfies is gross.
It doesn't really matter how my face looks.
But your face is important!
My face is important.
I'll check them out as soon as they post them!
You just saw me take them.
Wouldn't that be boring?
Absolutely not.
We just can't seem to agree
on anything, Gloomyhara-san.
I don't care what anyone else says.
Tamon-kun is the best in the world!
I will never let anyone say otherwise!
Make sure you eat the food
while it's still warm.
I'll be heading out for the day now.
U-Um Kinoshita-san.
Yes?
I think I'll somehow make it
to the Dome concert.
Thank you so much
for everything you've done.
Thanks to you,
Fidget
I feel like my mental state has gone from
excrement level to household waste level.
Who are you calling household waste?!
"Tamon-kun is a national treasure."
It was nothing.
I just did my job. I didn't do
anything worthy of praise
That's not true.
Idol work is a job, too.
But fans praise me all the time.
And that actually makes me really happy.
I-I'm so sorry!
Did I say something wrong again?
No.
It's just hearing you say that
as Gloomyhara-san rather than Tamon-kun
just got me all choked up.
It's because you scolded me, Kinoshita-san.
Say what now?
What? What?!
Supernova
It's a miracle that we
were born in the same era
So we've got to enjoy it
I'm so sorry! I must be all slimy and gross.
You're not!
Please don't hide your smile!
It's such a waste!
N-No! It's so gross!
What an awkward smile.
You're so cute.
Huh?
Oh.
Miss Housekeeper?!
If you're really a fan,
you need to know better!
I'm so sorry.
Did nothing wrong
And Tamon!
I need you to be at least one billionth of
your stage persona even when you're at home!
I'm so sorry!
What am I even doing?
How could I let my desires take over and
push down a national treasure like that?!
What am I doing?!
Tamon-kun.
I'm not a Gloomyhara-san fan.
I'm a Tamon-kun fan. Tamon-kun! Tamon-kun!
Oh
this is bad.

Ugh, this is the worst.

An idol got attacked by a stalker.
They barged into his home and tackled him.
Ugh, this is the problem with these unicorns.
Yup, yup.
The nerve of them barging into their
private lives when they're just a fan.
Yup, yup.
Ridiculous more like re-die-culous, yup.
Yes, that's exactly right.
More importantly, look!
This month's issue's pin-ups of Tamon-kun!
The amount of skin shown directly
correlates to the happiness index.
I just can't.
Aw, Tamon-kun.
Tamon-kun, who's basically a zombie at home.

What's up, Utage?
Is this the cause?
This man is criminal.
What do I do? I can't forget him.
The next time I see him, I'm going
to become even more captivated.
I might jump him again.
Now, go forth on an adventure!
Oh, Kinoshita-san!
Hello, it's been a while. It's me, Toda.
I'm thankfully out of the hospital now,
so I look forward to working with you again.
Oh, did you prefer the younger girl?
Oh, goodness!
Well, I'm going to get started.
I'm glad that Toda-san came back to work.

imaginary husband with you, Tamon-kun!
I'm gonna die!
F/ACE is going to literally become
the face of our generation.
They are superstars.

We found each other amongst
the thousands of stars
We're shining star
The brightest star of all, the first star

were born in the same era
They're all just countless particles.

This is how far I should be from him.
Sing out loud (sing sing sing)
I can't make the mistake of becoming
a meteor and crash into him.
Harmonizing loud and proud
Song, song, song
You're so cool, Tamon-kun!
Sing out loud (sing sing sing)

Huh? What?!

Huh? What is this literal piece of art
doing in front of me?
No, wait!
What are you doing here?!
Well, I saw you in the crowd, Kinoshita-san.
He managed to spot me
in that huge sea of fans?
I
I want to make the whole world smile,
but here you are crying.
Does it have to do with why you stopped
coming to my place without saying anything?
O-Of course any fan would love
to know all about you, Tamon-kun.
That obviously includes me.
That's exactly why
I shouldn't keep you to myself!
I might end up troubling you.
I'll be the one that decides
if it's any trouble or not.
So
don't say things like that!
I need you by my side supporting me.
I'm just hopeless without you.
I can't. I can't say no.
Okay
My face! My face hurts!
Now's not the time
to switch out of work mode!
To all of the Tamon-kun fans across Japan
You still have the second half
of the show! You need to go!
Okay!
I'm so sorry.
I'm here to support you!

I am going to live my life as a bad fan.
Sincerely, Utage.
