Tamon-kun! Tamon-kun!
What is it, Utage-chan?
Why are you just so cool, Tamon-kun?
Why else?
It's to make you fall for me.
Yeah, I'mma die!
Tamon-kun...
A dream.

Th-This is reality!
Nee-chan, shut up! It's still early!
Do You Like Me?
Yahoo!
F/ACE has been known to be on the artistic side of this industry,
but they're finally having a fan interaction event!
It was totally worth spending my life savings to pile up on those CDs!
I'm gonna have to scrub down my body extra hard.
I need to buy some new clothes, too!
I need to start working my butt off for that meet-and-greet!
That's right...
Hello, Fukuhara-sama.
I look forward to working with you again tod...
...as Tamon-kun's housekeeper.
I'm gonna retire! Please don't look for me!
Quit whining and get to work!
How much do you think the agency has invested in you?!
Damn it! How am I supposed to babysit these five brats all on my own?!
Yes, hello?!
O-Oh, hello...
Ori, where are you right now?!
Don't forget we're on location tomorrow!
Fukuhara-san...
What did you mean by retire?
Gloom.
They've gone and scheduled a meet-and-greet...
I'm so nervous, I-I might throw up.
It's an extremely rare opportunity to see your smiling fans up close.
You want to make everyone in the world smile, don't you?
That's just impossible, though!
If I have to directly communicate with hundreds of people,
I'm definitely going to slip up!
They'll know I'm all gloom-and-doom!
My sweaty hands'll gross 'em out and make 'em say, "Whoa, mushroom farm (lol)."
It makes no sense for the confident, cool guy to have sweat glands on his palms!
Also what the hell is "sexy and wild" even supposed to mean?!
What's so good about a guy who could be arrested for sexual harassment at any time?!
What is wrong with people using their life savings to buy up CDs for a guy like him?!
Hello? Tamon-kun's hand sweat is literally elixir.
Hello? Being able to breathe the same air as Tamon-kun is a delicious meal.
Hello?!
Peep!
Don't put sexual harassment and sexy and wild in the same category!

I almost pushed him down again.
I mean...
Yeah, Hottiehara-san's hotness is on another dimensional level.
But you're charming in your own way, Gloomyhara-san!
If I'm going to do this, I want to do it right.
There'll be people coming to see me with high hopes,
so I want to do everything I can.
In that case...
Here's two years' worth.
Magazine interviews, blogs, and internet articles I saved and filed.
And over here, I wrote down everything you said on TV,
the internet, videos, and social media.
This is my sutra notebook that I use to feed my delusions.
Sutra Notebook
God
This is impressive.
You've written down things that even I don't remember.
If we objectively re-evaluate your character, it'll probably help you stay on track.
You're right. I might just pull through if I look through these.
Good. Now I'll also be able to participate in the meet-and-greet in peace.
Um...
Yes?
I'm sorry to keep bothering you, but could you help me do some simulations?
For the meet-and-greet.
Huh?
No, no, no! I couldn't enjoy that kind of bliss for free!
R-Right. Of course.
It was presumptuous of a walking trash bag like me to think I could take up your time.
Huh?
Hello? If it's for Tamon-kun, I could offer up all my time in this lifetime and the next!
Thank you very much.
Oh, whoops.
Gloom, gloom.
Ahem.
I'll continue to support you.
Please keep doing your best.
Don't worry.
I'll never let you switch oshis.
I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!
I grossed out Kinoshita-san to death!
The IRL version... is too OP.
I don't want to keep seeing you get hurt because of me, so I'll stop.
I just keep relying on you... I'm so sorry.
Honestly, it makes me very happy.
Huh?
You'd have no way of knowing this...
But when I was going through some hard times, the one who was there to lift my spirits
more than anyone else was you, Tamon-kun.
So nothing makes me happier than being able to help you out.
Smooch.
Compared to everything you gave to me, this is really nothing in return...
Boom
But I'd give up my life to support you.
Agh!
Boom
I've wanted to meet you so badly. Let's get married.
Tamon-kun...
If you use up all your energy now, you're not going to last until the end.
Hurgh!
Told you.
It's so good...
You're coming to the meet-and-greet too, right?
Yes! I'm going to give it my all!
Then I'm hoping you can... score how well I do.
Today, my oshi was once again a metronome.
My heartbeat is also a metronome.
Forever love... now and forever.
The Day of the Meet-and-Greet
Expensive gift
Wow... Wow, wow!
Everyone's so insanely hyped!
Tamon-kun, just look at how many people love you!
It's been so long, Tamon! How've you been?
Hey, get over here.
You're my girl, aren't you?
Aah! Hello!
Oh, my gosh! I can't!
Tamon was exactly how I'd imagined him, and he even made the air taste great.
Hello.
I know, right?
He told me, "I love you!"
Thank goodness. It sounds like he's doing just fine.
That's awesome, too!
Tamon-kun belongs to everyone.
I imploded for a second.
It was just too good.
Today's your oshi's day to shine. Don't ruin it with your petty jealousy, Utage.
Ugh, what the hell?
You just totally stepped on my shoes that I bought just for today.
It's your own fault for trying to dance suddenly.
Trouble amongst fans?!
Hello?! Tamon-kun's right over there.
Tamon Fukuhara
What do you have in that bag? Cookies?
Tamon won't like anything dry and crumbly.
What? I obviously know that.
I have to do something!
They're very moist, thank you very much.
Peacefully, peacefully...
(1) You're not gonna run now, are you?
Peace...
Ring that bell
Boom!!
Leave!
Huh?
Yer a Tamon oshi, too?
You want a piece of me?
Anyone who dirties Tamon-kun's divine ears has no place in this world!

Tamon-kun's hand was so big and warm!
I mean, even if I don't get to go, he's got plenty of passionate fans.
Yeah! He also held my hand so tight that my heart started pounding!
As long as Tamon-kun's happy.
I'd love to go again.
We're going to have to keep supporting F/ACE!
I need to make up for my losses today.

I'm back!
Kinoshita-san! There's a guest for you.
Huh?
Right over there.
What am I staring at right now? IRL Photoshop?
Why didn't you come?
I-I lost my ticket somewhere...
I did go all the way to the venue, though.
And then...
You need to keep your promise.
Ask me for anything.
I'll respond.
This is...
This is a really presumptuous request...
I don't care if it's a lie. Just let me continue dreaming.
Could you just become my Tamon-kun just for a moment?
No.
Huh?
Gloom.
No! Not for just a moment!
Gloomyhara-san.
I...
I wanted to you to praise me, Kinoshita-san!
So why'd you have to go and lose your ticket?
I was waiting that whole time because I wanted you to see the fruits of my labor...
I wanted to make you happy...
How could you...

The fandom is growing steadily.
But I'm a little worried.
If they're getting closer to their fans...
What if our oshi ends up in a tabloid for meeting some fangirl in private?

We're gonna murder that bitch.
Yup, we sure are.
Huh?

If any delusional girl gets close to Tamon-kun...
We'll murder her together!
Murder! Murder! Murder! Murder!

I can't tell them I'm casually frequenting our oshi's home.

Yes.
Our victim this time is the morning drama actor, Ikeo Iketeru-kun!
A super-popular variety show that airs primetime on the weekends!
Congratulations!
It's all over.
Huh?
Please don't hate me or F/ACE!
I'm so sorry these are the only clothes I own!
Oh, I guess this is the only thing I've ever seen him wear.
But you look so great in that outfit.
Fans also wouldn't mind you not having any fashion sense at all!
Yes, you're right...
Of course this worn-out, slightly-dirty, lame hoodie would look perfect on me.
No other outfit in this world could possibly look good on me.
Could you actually listen to what I'm saying?
Hmm... I personally like the Gloomyhara look...
But we can't miss the opportunity to show off his great physique.
Tamon-kun!
Let's go buy some clothes for you.
Please forgive me. But I'm sure you all want to see a top-quality Tamon-kun!
Sorry to keep you waiting.
How shockingly low-quality.
Huh? Is there something weird about this?
No... As long as you're okay with it, Gloomyhara-san.
Okay, let's go.
I remember all of the outfits that Tamon-kun has worn up until now.
Which outfits were popular and which ones weren't...
I'll use that info and my perspective as a fan to come up with the ultimate look.
Let me make this clear:
I'm not fooling around here.
This is my duty as someone who represents the Church of Tamon believers.
I'm opening up!
Did everything fit okay?
It's perfect!
Hottiehara-kun has arrived!
Look out, Kinoshita-san!
If we're going to create some art, a blank canvas is best.
Because my lifestyle is the only pattern I need.
I can't let my guard down just because I'm enjoying a day off.
My existence is winning.
I am the rules.
What do the ladies think? Like I care.
Tamon-kun's so eager to provide fanservice that he's reflexively posing.
I wuv you.
What's the matter?
I can't get this on...
Gloom.
I'm so sorry that I'm such a useless, talentless hack.
Who are you now?
"Tamon-kun is actually human."
I was somehow able to buy some clothes.
Thank you so much.
You're very welcome.
Do you come here often?
Yes, sometimes on my way home from school.
I'll come here to study with my friends before a test...
Which is just an excuse.
We usually just end up chatting.
Nice kill, my dude!
Okay, let's go for a knockout.
Got it!
Go! Go!
I'm kinda jealous...
I-I'm sorry! I shouldn't say stuff like that when we didn't come here for fun!
It's okay. I was just admiring that even someone as amazing as you
would enjoy the same things us normal people like.
You don't go out with your groupmates?
Oh...
That... was loud and clear.
Oh, hey. Isn't that Utage?
It is! What're you doing here?
Oh, shit!
Murder! Murder!
Wh-What a coincidence!
Who's that?
That's a rather unique hat.
Um...
I'm... her friend.
I just made our god lie and humble his very existence!
Yeah... from middle school...
Oh, really...
Wait, is he your boyfriend?!
Wait, no! No, no, no!
Come on, just show us your face already.
No, really! He's not!
Please, just stop!
Sorry, we're in a hurry!
Hey! They ran away!
This is... This is just...
a secret date!
I'm so terribly sorry!
Huh? Why are you apologizing?!
This is an important time in your life, yet I carelessly took you out,
and put you in danger of being found by the paparazzi!
I'm unworthy of being your fan! I deserve capital punishment!
But I'm the one who asked you to help me.
It's not right for you to apologize—
No!
Even if you forgive me, Tamon-kun, I won't forgive myself.
But I had fun—
From now on!
I'll do my best to stay at least three meters away from you.
I'm so very sorry!
Kinoshita-san, please look at me.
Do you like me?
Of course I do? I have never felt anything for you other than love and affection!
Then you can shut up for a second and listen to what I have to say, right?
I had a lot of fun today. Thank you.
I see...
Huh? Kinoshita-san?
A few days later, Tamon-kun's outfits were praised for having a boyfriend look.

I ended up ruthlessly murdering it and abandoning it.
Now, now, everyone struggles at first.
I'm going on a voluntary hiatus from work until I can properly fry an egg.
Wait a minute!
Even if you can't fry an egg,
there is something you're very good at making, Tamon-kun!
Making your fans smile!
I love you! I love you!
You're able to make all those smiles!
Church of Tamon
If that doesn't make you a top chef, I don't know what does!
Have more confidence in yourself!
I'm not sure if I fully understand, but I somehow feel like I can keep going.
That's Fujita-san, his manager.
That was impressive.
You somehow immediately got Tamon out of his nervous breakdown mode.
I'm shocked.
I never thought he'd be rehabilitated this much just by hiring a housekeeper.
He's actually been obediently working lately.
Well, household chores get so tiresome when you're busy.
Fujita-san, you just see me as a cash cow, but Kinoshita-san doesn't.
I don't think. Probably.
He looks like an abandoned puppy that doesn't trust humans anymore.
By the way, just how much counts as household chores?
Honestly, pretty much anything, depending on the customer.
I even go shopping or take pets out for a walk.
I see.
So practicing for the meet-and-greet and going shopping together
counts as "household chores."
I'm so sorry!
One wrong move, and I could've caused a huge misunderstanding!
Kinoshita-san didn't do anything wrong!
If you're going to kill someone, kill me!
Please continue helping with all of Tamon's "household chores" from now on!
Huh?
This is embarrassing to admit, but we're a small little agency with no connections.
We absolutely don't have enough people.
Honestly, you're a lifesaver!
Now, then... I have to go buy some maritozzi for a certain selfish gorilla,
so take care of the nervous breakdown zombie for me!
Um...
So basically... anything goes.
I want you to accept all of me.
Personal desires... begone!
Are you all right, Kinoshita-san?
Yes, I'm fine.
Calm yourself, Utage.
You're just helping Tamon-kun out with his idol work.
Please don't push yourself too hard.
When Tamon-kun was sixteen, he came to Tokyo all alone for his audition.
From everything I've personally seen,
it seems like his manager's not taking care of him that much.
He doesn't get along that well with the other members either.
Of course he'd rely on a busybody fangirl that just happened to come into his life.
Yes. I'm just a convenient fan to Tamon-kun.
Then I'm just going to have to work my hardest so I don't let him down...
As the person in charge of household chores.
Oh, I wonder if it's from work...
A candid shot!
Oh, I'm sorry to yell like that while you're working.
It's fine.
I was just thinking that you're so interesting, Kinoshita-san.
Huh? Am I?
Yes.
You just suddenly yell sometimes.
All of your fans are like this.
I don't know about anybody else. But...
If anything, to me right now...
You're special, Kinoshita-san.
Oh, come on!
Jeez, Tamon-kun.
He's just excellent at fanservice,
and he just happened to have a fan right in front of him.
That's why he instantly says stuff that makes me happy.
At first, I was just trying to escape reality.
You're so boring, Uta-chan.
Huh?
I'm the only one who ever talks in our conversations.
It's good to accommodate others, but that's all you ever do.
I have no idea what you're even thinking.
When I'd been flattened like an empty husk, you just happened to cross my eye.
I want to make everyone in the world smile.
And you happened to say something I'd never say even if I'd been reborn a hundred times.
An encounter with the unknown.
Ever since I learned of your existence, every day's been so fun and going by so fast!
Your dream became my dream.
That's why I don't need to be special.
He looked at me!
You're special to me, so just having you show me your dream...
Huh? That necklace...
...makes me so happy.
Or so I thought...
Huh?
You're special, Kinoshita-san.
What was that just now?
