A famous morning drama actress.

A charismatic top model.

Are you free, Ouri-kun?

Sorry, I'm busy.

Aw

No matter how much others came onto me,

it never resonated

with me at all, and yet

What the hell's going on

with my emotions?! Damn it!

This place is closed, too.

There's nowhere open

Utage Kinoshita!

What's she doing here?!

Hey!! It's just like sweeet magic!! Aha!

You're too popular,

it drives me crazy and I'm not okay

But I'm sorry, losing's not my thing

Hey, girl

Look this way!

I see your smile, smile, smile,

I wanna make it all mine

Crash, crash, crash,

our special connection shines

Dance, dance,

It's a spell that makes your heart race

We can't go back

You're falling in love with me, c'mon!

Sweetie honey

I focused too much on my job and

fan activities during summer vacation

and forgot to do my homework.

I need to finish it by

the day after tomorrow

"Supernova"!

The idol group that everyone

has their eyes on right now F/ACE!

were born in the same era

So we've got to enjoy it

(Yeah, song song song)

Good morning.

I'm sure everyone wants

to see footage of us waking up.

Sing out loud (sing sing sing)

Harmonizing loud and proud

Don't worry, we made sure

the cameras were rolling.

Fan Activities

I can draw out all my potential for fan

activities, but not really anything else.

Fan Activities

Fan Activities

Fan Activities

No, no!

Even Tamon-kun is working hard

to do both work and school,

Menacing

so I need to get a grip!

It'll cost some money,

but I guess I could go to a café.

If I'm so bothered by not knowing

what her relationship with Tamon is,

I'll just ask her outright.

Somewhere cheap and quiet would be best.

Oh? Gloomyhara-san?

Oh Hello.

Hello. Today's a lovely day, isn't it?

What the hell is he doing here?!

Are you heading out somewhere?

I went to get the uniforms that

Fujita-san sent to the dry cleaners.

Right. The new school term

starts the day after tomorrow.

You have two uniforms?

One is Ouri-kun's.

I see.

Waitaminute! You go to high

school, Gloomyhara-san?!

And to the same school as Ouri-kun?!

Oh, yes. Didn't I mention that before?

Oh, right. I made him go get them.

There's a Tamon-kun that

goes to high school in real life?

Tamon-kun who's a third-year

in high school exists in this world.

How is that possible?

My brain can't process that.

I'm right here, though.

Though I mostly just do my makeup

classes at night or on my days off,

so it doesn't really feel like

a normal high-school life.

What are you up to, Kinoshita-san?

Ah, well, I hadn't finished my

summer vacation homework yet.

You take Pochi for a walk, Yamato.

I have a date, and I'm busy!

I have to study, so no.

I can't concentrate at home because

my siblings and dog are too loud.

And both the library

and community center are closed.

Closed

So I was looking for a place to study.

Hm Somewhere you can

study quietly for free

I know! You can come over to my place.

There's no way I can step foot into

that sanctuary other than for work.

Oh, I'm sorry!

In that case

A table in that park was open.

And it's pretty cool today.

Between those two places,

it'd be the park.

Sure.

I have to memorize tomorrow's script,

so I'll buy some sandwiches and

Hey.

What the hell are you two thinking?

Tachibana-san?!

Don't just casually go have a picnic.

You two need to be more

aware of your surroundings.

What are you, grade schoolers?!

Facts

Come with me.

Huh?

Where are we going?

If you have nowhere else

to go, do it here.

Frugality Is a Virtue

There's nothing distracting here,

so you should be able to concentrate.

I-I guess you're right.

Did you eat lunch yet?

Not yet.

Save Water

Once Open, Three Seconds

I have some prepped meals in the fridge,

so you can eat those if you're hungry.

Just make sure not to pull the drawer

out more than fifteen centimeters.

Once you open the door,

close it within three seconds.

Once Open, Three Seconds

Also Tamon, you little

A Journey of

a Thousand Miles

Begins with a Single Step

Huh?

Did you go outside without

putting on any sunscreen again?!

Please calm down, Tachibana-san! Please!

Stop that!

I'm wearing a bag over my head, so it's f—

No, it's not!

Your face is an important product

that prints money!

You need to care for it with your life.

Don't underestimate UV rays!

Drench your face with lotion!

Huh? They seem closer than before?

Also, you look pale.

Have you been sleeping?

W-Well, just thinking about

the eight billion intelligent lifeforms

wriggling about on Earth

got me really scared suddenly,

and before I knew it, it was morning

If you have time to think about

that kind of nonsense, just go to sleep!

Good for you, Tamon-kun.

You've gotten closer to Keito-kun.

You can have this.

Huh? Dirt?

Do you mean I should go

be one with the dirt again?

No. They're used coffee grounds.

I'm so happy for you.

Are you giving me garbage

because I'm garbage?

No. They can help you sleep soundly.

But I've also been worried about him

and watching over him.

Just take it!

Thank you very much.

Once you're done, just lock up

and give Tamon the key.

Okay! I will.

Have a great time

Popular segment on

their official channel

sh**ting Mama Keito's 30-minute Cooking.

You don't need to say the name.

U-Um, why are you doing all this for me?

You seemed to really despise fans

as if they k*lled your parents.

Turn off the Lights

I saw how hard you worked

during the training camp,

and I checked Tamon's apartment.

Huh?

He suddenly came over yesterday,

checked my whole apartment, and then left.

Really?

It's clear you were supporting him

by professionally handling

his household chores.

I also know in my head

that fans aren't all insane.

So I'm sorry, Kinoshita-san.

Bye.

Keito-kun has now started to complain

to me more than before the training camp.

That sounds like

your relationship is worse.

No. Rather than him suddenly getting

mad at everything that happened

Hey!

Hey, Tamon!

in the past all at once or

quietly clicking his tongue at me,

What the hell are you doing, Tamon?!

it's less scarier to have him

tell me how he feels.

Hey.

The hell are you doing?

Shut up. Don't make me

punch your glasses in.

Hmph.

I guess Tachibana-san's the type

that lets everything build up inside.

I'm going to do my best so

he doesn't keep everything in.

He is our very precious leader of F/ACE.

I'm the leader of F/ACE, after all.

Right.

If Tamon-kun says all that,

Keito-kun is a good person.

Today's Savings is

Tomorrow's Happiness

Okay, I'm going to start my homework.

Could you not summon me on my day off?

Well, I don't want to waste

any money on transportation.

Yes, yes, of course. Okay, let's go.

Is there something on my face?

Oh, I'm sorry. I've just never

seen you study before so

It made me realize that you are

actually a high school student.

It's a bit embarrassing

when he points it out like that.

Well I guess I am usually working

when I'm around you, Gloomyhara-san.

Oh, please just think of me as waste

that's wearing a garbage bag and

pay me no mind so you can concentrate.

That was fast. I'm impressed.

I do pretty well with literature stuff.

Oh, I figured as much.

You did?

Whenever you encourage me,

you always use so many words

in so many ways, so I figured as much.

Not to mention those got harder

in my second year.

I see.

At first, I thought you were someone

who could do anything, Kinoshita-san.

What? Really?

But there's no way

someone like that exists, right?

You're just working harder than others.

That's very admirable.

Th-That's not true!

I'm just doing what I should

because I should.

But isn't that pretty hard to do?

My handwriting's so bad that I

can't even read the notes I took

Gloomyhara Font

and then I get stuck.

Whenever I clip my nails, I bleed

Ow

Ow

I can't even do what

I'm supposed to be able to do.

Gloomyhara-san

So the fact that you can do

all these things is admirable.

You tell me that all

I need to do is exist,

but you seem rather hard on yourself.

Well, you're special, Tamon-kun!

Being told that doing the most

trivial things is admirable

makes me feel tingly inside.

Hm

What's wrong?

I can't seem to figure out this problem

Oh, a trigonometric function problem.

Um Here, I think you oh right.

He's acting like my senpai

You use sine, cosine, or tangent and

You're right.

Your complexion looks much better today.

Now I remembered that

I don't know!

Huh?

My brain is smoother than a boiled egg,

so there was no way I could actually

remember what I learned a year ago!

Please forgive me and my ugly

vanity for being overconfident

and trying to act all senpai!

I'm sorry that I was nothing more

than a rotten boiled egg!

Tamon-kun is the embodiment

of light born from star fragments!

Yes!

Now's my chance since

I'm in the same grade as that chick

I'll teach you everything.

You're so smart and wuvly!

Yeah, that's what'll happen.

Then I'll cheer you on as Hottiehara—

No!

But why? I have nothing left to offer

if you don't let me do that.

I keep telling you not to

waste Hottiehara-kun!

You keep saying it's a waste,

but it's not a waste to me

You're always so strong

and cool, Kinoshita-san

and the only time you change is

when you're around Hottiehara.

Honestly, that's a win for me.

Huh?

Do you like troubling other people?

That's not okay, even if you're Tamon-kun!

I do feel bad about it.

Huh?

But I'm always the one crying

and falling over

and you're always there for me

So I want to be something to you, too.

Not the music video

or the photo version of me.

But the me that's

in front of you right now.

The Tamon-kun that's in front of me

What the hell am I sneaking around for?

I just need to march in there,

ask them what I want to know,

and get it over with!

What the heck's going on with you two?

We're dating!

Am I actually scared to ask?

My father is a leading actor

that represents Japan.

It goes without saying,

but he's handsome.

My mother is a singer

Of course, she's also beautiful.

Their son is currently

Everyone would agree that his good

looks rival any national treasure.

The educational policy of the

elegant Sakaguchi Family

was a bit different from other households.

Ouri.

You inherited our superb genes

and were born into this world.

Meaning you are a winner amongst

winners just by being born.

Yeah, I know! Everything

goes ridiculously well for me!

But that's only

if you live a mediocre life.

You will never be a winner

in the entertainment industry.

Huh?!

That's because your father

and mother

will continue to be winners!

Whether you like it or not,

if you stand on the same stage as us,

you'll be compared to us

and always feel disappointed.

Having to face a giant obstacle

known as your parents

is the fate of second-generation talent.

B-But I want to be on TV, too!

Then you must be ready to surpass

your mother and father!

Always remember this, Ouri

Strength is power.

I'm gonna be the winner here!

Her relationship with Tamon

doesn't matter!

I

Kinoshita-san, I

Huh?!

Ouri-kun?!

I'll teach you your homework!

You kicked down the door

even though it was unlocked?

Gloom, gloom

Tamon's in the damn way.

By the way, Gloomyhara-san, weren't

you trying to say something earlier?

U-Um

It's not important,

so don't worry about it.

I'm talking to Gloomyhara-san.

It really isn't important,

so please don't worry about it.

Isn't this great, Kinoshita-san?

Huh?

Now, you'll be able to

get your homework done.

It's great that Ouri-kun showed up.

Yup, exactly.

I'm sure this buffoon was useless.

I'm sorry for being a meaningless

existence and occupying this space.

I can learn lyrics and choreo in three

minutes and it takes him thirty hours.

Gloom, gloom, gloom

Sting

He just doesn't have the knack for it.

Actually, I'm surprised you were

even able to survive this long.

I'm sorry that my brain capacity

is less than an ostrich's!

Tamon-kun spends 300 times more time

on hard work than others. I love him.

Tch.

Grrr

Thank you very much, Kinoshita-san.

But it's true that

I'm not being very useful

so is there something else

I can do for you?

Then please just exist.

Er something other than that.

Then get me a shine muscat Daifuku

and terrine de marrons!

Wha—

Humanity is not ready for Tamon-kun

to be treated as an errand boy!

Well, he doesn't have

anything else to do, does he?

I'll be back soon. I'll buy some

for you, too, Kinoshita-san!

Wha—

And there he goes

Kekeke! Now, no one's in my way.

By the way, are you actually

smart, Sakaguchi-san?

What's that supposed to mean, huh?!

I clearly look intelligent!

Er, I was just curious

That's right. I guess you haven't

seen me get serious in person.

Academics? Of course, I'm great at it!

How else could I play the prince

I-I guess?

I've spent ten years in showbiz.

In order to survive, I needed to be

You're truly amazing, Ouri-kun.

You're lovely.

What a good boy.

Today, I'm gonna get her

to look my way for real!

Utage-san.

Tamon-kun's great,

but won't I suffice as well?

Ouri-kun's gone into idol mode!

Oh, I'm sorry for calling you

by your name without asking.

If you're all right with it,

may I continue calling you Utage-san?

S-Sure.

W-Wow the background's

all see through

I'm so transparent that people say

that there's nothing more transparent

than the beaches

at Palau or Ouri Sakaguchi!

I'll make you take this head on

and make you fall for me!

I'm just getting started!

Please, have a seat, my princess.

I'll lend you the notes I wrote up,

so please feel free to use them.

Trigonometric Formulas

You're correct! Well done!

This is how you do this part

Oh! I'm sorry!

I'll finish you with the reliable

youngest member act.

It's a little nerve-racking being

here alone together, isn't it?

But I'll maintain the innocence!

Squee.

Got 'em!

So this is what Tamon-kun

gets to see all the time

I'm so moved.

I get to experience being my oshi.

This hasn't gotten through

to her at all, damn it!

A normal chick would've

melted into nothing by now!

I wonder what Kinoshita-san's

favorite fruit is.

What do you like?

What do you like?

Tamon-kun!

Tamon-kun! Tamon-kun! Tamon-kun!

Fruits Daifuku Fair

Maybe I don't know anything

about Kinoshita-san after all

I'd like

to know more about her.

I should eat soon.

Why?

What would he do right now?

Sakaguchi-san?

Huh?

U-Um

I'm back—

G-Gloomyhara-san! This is just

What exactly is this?!

I don't know what to do after this.

What is this aura?

Murderous intent?!

Oh, I was just giving her

a little fan service.

To show her gratitude

for always supporting F/ACE.

Ah

Wha—

Wait, is that Darkhara-san?!

Kinoshita-san

doesn't like that.

Not that I'm an expert, or anything

but I've messed up before.

Tch.

What?! You bought every kind?!

I'm sorry.

Is she really not going to look my way?

Does she really not even

Sakaguchi-san.

You probably did this because you

don't like me and you were mad

But I can't approve

of what you did earlier.

You didn't really seem

like yourself, Ouri-kun.

What?

Tamon-kun has a lot of fans,

but you also have a lot of fans.

So please make sure you

take good care of him

The pure and sincere idol Ouri-kun

that's loved by everyone.

I mean, you can't be

anyone but yourself, right?

I thought I only wanted to get her

to look my way because of my pride

I thought it was because I didn't

want to lose to him as an idol.

But that's not it.

You bought so much. Thank you.

Is there anything you don't like?

I

I'm in love with

I love them all! I'll take all of them!

Utage Kinoshita.

Damn it.

Uh huh

Na na na

Uh huh

I wonder what the world

would look like without you

When I look back,

you've always been by my side

Teaching me what "warmth"

and "happiness" feel like

A speedboat sails across the endless skies

An unwavering course,

a straight shot down the middle

An unbreakable red balloon

found nowhere else

Is this "fate"? Or just a "coincidence"?

Like a wilted flower coming back to life

A light that shines

Through the impossibly dark night

(Light of your soul)

I wanted to grasp it

(I love you so)

So I strived for it

Wanna keep going, wanna keep growing

Bringing our flowers and dreams

into full bloom
