As F/ACE’s rivalry develops into friendship between Tamon and Ori, Utage’s support for Ori prompts a change in Tamon’s behavior. The volume draws on the gap between performance and private life while exploring how devotion to an idol can become personal when fan and performer meet beyond the stage.

Book overview

When a shiny idol is a sad mess in real life, can his number one fan help him stay upbeat?

High schooler Utage Kinoshita works part-time as a housekeeper so she can afford her fangirl obsession with Tamon Fukuhara, her favorite member of boy band F/ACE. When work serendipitously sends her to the home of her idol, she discovers that the real Tamon couldn't be more different from his wild and sexy onstage persona!

As the F/ACE showdown progresses, Tamon and bandmate Ori's rivalry transforms their relationship from a mere fan-service facade to...a true friendship?! Tamon starts acting odd, however, after overhearing Utage encouraging Ori. Could Utage's fave singer actually be jealous?
