Tamon's B-Side

Idol group F/ACE has been climbing the charts thanks largely to its leader, Tamon Fukuhara—handsome, unpredictable, and undeniably gifted. Seventeen-year-old Utage Kinoshita is one of the fans cheering the loudest, shaping her days around supporting him. To keep funding her devotion, she takes a job at a housecleaning company.

When a coworker falls ill, Utage is sent to a new assignment for a client who happens to share Tamon’s name. She assumes it’s just a funny coincidence—until the door opens and she’s staring at the real Tamon himself. The shock only deepens as she learns the bright, outgoing star seen onstage is, in private, a withdrawn young man with no friends and little confidence.

Determined to protect his hidden side, Utage promises to keep his secret and stay close. But balancing Tamon’s public persona with the person he really is may turn out to be the most demanding part of her work.
