Tamon's B-Side (多聞くん今どっち！？)

Forged in the spotlight of an audition show,

this new idol group is on a meteoric rise to stardom.

F ACE.

And their centre is my beloved oshi.

What? You miss me?

Then get lost in the embrace of my sweet melody.

This right here is for my girls nationwide.

Let's go!

GOD TAMON

Ah! That shot almost killed me.

It took years off my life, but also added to it!

Tamon’s a god!

She sure loves that, um, Ef-ace, was it?

-This is too good. -F ACE, honey.

And watching her act crazy for her oshi is kind of fun.

Oh, it's not an act. She is full on nuts.

You should crack open a book.

I mean, it's not like you'll ever meet him.

- -

I’m Utage Kinoshita, 16 years old

and despite my family’s side-eyes,

I survive off my oshi.

Amazing.

Your face alone saved the world once again, Tamon.

A little scootchie to the side. There.

Yeah, that looks great.

YOU NEED MONEY TO SUPPORT YOUR OSHI

My oshi is Tamon Fukuhara.

He's the sexy and wild member of F ACE

who's so gorgeous and mature,

you'd never guess he's still young enough

to be in high school.

His electrifying performances put pro dancers to shame

and ignite the hottest fantasies...

THE REASON I CONTINUE TO EVOLVE TAMON FUKUHARA

...in girls across Japan.

They'll arrest him for excessive coolness one day.

TAMON FUKUHARA, 16 YEARS OLD, HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT

The goal is to make everybody all over the world smile.

The goal is to make everybody...

Even though his audition was only two years ago,

he was so baby.

He really grew.

HOUSEKEEPING MADE EASY LEAVE IT TO US! HOUSEKEEPING SERVICE

Thanks for coming, Miss Kinoshita.

-Mm? -And sorry for calling you

in work on your day off.

Oh, no. It's okay, really.

This is usually a residence Miss Toda cleans.

But she won't heal from appendicitis overnight

and no one else was open.

KINOSHITA

Right. Happy to cover whatever I can.

You need money to support your oshi!

I started this part time job

because of the great pay and conditions.

And I've gotten pretty good at it.

But man, what are the odds I'd be cleaning...

TAMON FUKUHARA

...for someone named Tamon Fukuhara?

-Our little secret, my kitten. -There's no freaking way!

FORBIDDEN GARDEN

Come on, this isn't a self-insert fic.

Well, this is the address, isn't it?

- -Housekeeping.

- -

Good Lord!

He's pale enough to glow in the dark.

But I'd never mistake the face

burned into my retinas every single day.

-Good afternoon, sir. -

Is it all right if I use your vacuum?

Oh, sure.

BADUMP BADUMP

This is happening!

When you're making money to support your oshi,

but the gigs at his place!

I'll just get to work, then.

Maybe he's super shy when he's off the clock

and I'm on the clock.

-Mm? -

Sorry to bother you again, Mr. Fukuhara,

but where do you keep the detergent for the...

No one told me the stand-in would be so young.

I can't switch into my work persona when I'm at home.

She must have thought, ”Holy crap!

This gloom-and-doom loser needs to get a stinkbug

stuck up his nose and die!“

I definitely didn't go that far.

No, she's gonna expose me.

She’ll be like, ”lololol! What a poser!“

Then I’ll be a laughing stock all around the world!

My former fans will brand me a traitor!

TRAITOR

One night, I'll get stabbed and bleed out.

A brutal end to a brutal life.

I should have never been born.

Is this really the same person?

The famous aura king

and ultimate eye candy known as Tamon Fukuhara?

He does have his first dome concert coming up,

so maybe he's just stressed.

What if his anxiety makes him retire?

I'm retiring. Thank you for all your support.

HE REVEALS THE REASON FOR HIS RETIREMENT AS ANXIETY

I would drop dead!

That must be avoided at all costs.

Um, actually, sir,

I'm a huge fan.

I have been since your audition two years ago.

I realize this isn't exactly

a work appropriate topic to discuss,

but it's important that you know the truth.

I'm happy you were born

and that you became a singer, honest.

I really couldn't be happier.

-I'm sorry. -Uh?

Now that you've seen what I'm actually like,

the image you had of me is shattered to pieces.

You feel hurt and betrayed.

Someone who constantly deceives his fans is trash.

Or worse, I’m worse than industrial waste.

You aren't deceiving us.

No one should be supporting me at all.

I'm a fraud.

Huh? A fraud!

CONGRATS ON YOUR DEBUT

-Mr. Fukuhara. -Huh?

Are you mocking our love? Are we a joke?

You shouldn't believe you're a fraud.

What the... Why are you on fire?

You turn our cruel world into a paradise

just by existing in it

because you're the hottest and greatest!

That's not all. You are a god!

It's just straight up facts.

I couldn't care less how broken you are in the head.

GOD TAMON

You're an apostle of love!

A gift sent from the heavens

to bring earthly maidens joy!

And you're an angel, the Holy Trinity.

Now you're gonna repeat after me,

-"Tamon Fukuhara is a god!" -

Tamon Fukuhara is a god.

Wait, what am I saying?

CHURCH OF TAMON

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE FOR TAMON FUKUHARA

Even if you are my idol,

I don’t subscribe to any anti’s hate!

NUISANCE OTAKU UTAGE

Your duality’s more intense than mine somehow.

Though, I have to admit,

given your natural personality,

I'm shocked you chose to take on such a role.

My role wasn't a choice.

It was the agency's call.

Good job, agency.

There's someone that I look up to.

And really, someone like me thinking

this is so disgusting I could die.

Die-sgusting.

But I really just want to inspire everybody

in the whole world to smile.

The same as that person.

Oh?

That's what he said at the audition.

I’m a walking rain cloud of negativity, though.

Who can smile at that?

I see.

His character might be an act, but it's not fake.

It resonates with so many people

because the feelings behind it are real.

You truly are the Tamon of F ACE.

Frauds don’t have your heart or passion.

Listen, we have no need for your true self.

Hide it and never let it show!

- -You okay?

When our popularity spiked,

all kinds of people approached me

and said all kinds of things.

And even when it's positive,

I just can't believe what fans say.

I want to, but I can't

because I'm aware of the real me inside.

And he's the one I trust the least.

Maybe I'll become a hermit.

I could move to a deserted island

and spend the rest of my days there,

-far away from anyone. -Wait a second.
