"Tamon's B-Side" Series Information
Synopsis
High schooler Utage Kinoshita lives for her "oshi." She is a hardcore fan who absolutely adores Tamon Fukuhara, the sexy and wild member of the hugely popular idol group F/ACE. One day, her housekeeping part-time job takes her to a new client's house, which turns out to be none other than the home of her beloved Tamon-kun!
But what Utage saw there was the complete opposite of his perfect on-stage persona—a gloomy, super-introverted Tamon-kun with incredibly low self-esteem...!?
Although shaken by this shocking hidden side of her idol, Utage declares, "Don't underestimate a fan's love!" and "Tamon-kun is God!!" She resolves to support him and affirm Tamon-kun with all her might.
Tamon-kun's "on" face as an idol versus his gloomy "off" true self. While being tossed around by this rollercoaster of a gap, Utage continues to support him with everything she has. Starting from what should have been a one-way relationship between a fan and her idol, the two find their distance shrinking in unexpected ways...
A storm of empathy for the hilarious developments! The heart-pounding moments won't stop! A high-tension "oshi-katsu" (fandom life) romantic comedy is born!!!
