Formed on an audition show, an idol group

that's currently rising quickly to the top

F/ACE.

And this is my beloved oshi

What? You're lonely?

Then I'll embrace all of you with my song.

You better be ready, all my

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.

No, wait. Calm down, me.

No matter the result, I decided

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

It's our little secret, my little kitten.

Is it actually him?!

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 a*s

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

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!

Are you looking down on our love?

Your duality seems even

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

That's why he resonates with so many people.

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,

I will not let him quit!

I love rice ba*ls! 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!

Ginger

Garlic

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

Glasses

At-home clothes

This is so much fun!

Personal desires begone!

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.

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

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.

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.
