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 girlfriends around the country!
Let's go!

God
Gah! That closeup almost ended me!
It both added to and took years off my lifespan!
Tamon-kun is literally a god!
Ef-ace again? You sure don't get tired of them.
You mean "F/ACE."
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.
Oh, my god, wait! Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait...
It's not like you're ever going to meet him, so you're better off studying.
His expression right there was literally perfect!
How can you look this cool?!
I'm Utage Kinoshita, age 16.
I'm a high school student who survives off my oshi as my family side-eyes me.
Tamon-kun saved the world with just his face again.
Okay, this should do it for the angle.
Perfect.
You Need Money to Support Your Oshi!
My oshi is Tamon Fukuhara-kun.
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.

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.
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!

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.
Customer Registry Name: Tamon Fukuhara
But this Tamon Fukuhara person has the same name as Tamon-kun...
It's our little secret, my little kitten.
Forbidden Garden
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!
She's going to make a post about me with lolololololololololol written on it!
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
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?!
Thank you for everything.
He reveals the reason for his retirement as anxiety
BREAKING NEWS
F/ACE's Tamon Fukuhara-san Announced His Retirement
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!
I love you!
Congrats on your debut!
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,
just like they did.

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,

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!
We'll be deciding on our fan name.
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!

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?

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...
Smooch
Tamon-kun is a fan service machine that never misses,
and he can't help but do what fan signs ask him to.
There are times he gets played,
but he's a forgiving god that does what's requested of him anyway.
The end.
Do the Soran Bushi
Do a triple axel
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,
I feel like my mental state has gone from excrement level to household waste level.
Fidget
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?!

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.

Ridiculous... more like re-die-culous, yup.
Yes, that's exactly right.
More importantly, look!

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.

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!
