01x07 - Fans Are Terrifying Creatures

[bunniefuu]

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

Hi, it's me!

The one with that k*ller smile!

Stealing your gaze with a shocking style!

Smooth as ever, I escort you

And this voice, seducing you

Ah, come on, let's dance;

I'm aiming straight for your heart

I am your ace darlin'

Confidence? Yeah, I've got plenty

Please Please

Whisper just to me, call my name

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,

our world is non-stop groovin'

I'll show you my perfect

A-side, side, side

And my private B-side, side, side;

I'll show you everything

So take my hand and let's roll

Sweet Sweet Sweet magic!!

Sweetie honey Sweetie honey

Sweetie honey Sweetie honey

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

Sweet Sweet Sweet magic!!

The overwhelming desire

to make people happy.

When that feeling that's usually

aimed at thousands of fans

suddenly gets directed to one person

Fans Are Terrifying Creatures

I'm sorry. I just reacted.

Eep

After that happened, I

You can't be serious.

Do you know how many gazillions of yen

a single karat of Tamon-kun is worth?

And here you are basically

giving it away for free.

Church of Tamon

You're destroying the market!

Unconditional love for Tamon Fukuhara

Rawr

Please have more respect for Tamon-kun!

I totally lost it.

Tamon-kun belongs to everyone!

Menacing

And then I bizarrely made Tamon-kun

review the 100 Tamon Articles of Faith.

Tamon-kun belongs to everyone

Tamon-kun's dreams must be

prioritized above all else!

Tamon-kun's dreams must be

prioritized above all else.

Okay! Bye!

Please excuse me!

I let my rage take over me

and ran right out of there.

Maybe I should be happy about the fact

that he personally showed me

full-on fan service

Hnnngggghhhh

But I really think that someone who's

supposed to be a world-famous star

shouldn't be handed out so easily!

All of humanity needs

to respect Tamon-kun!

Tamon! Tamon! Tamon!

Why is he doing so much for me?

I hope that Kinoshita-san will

continue coming over forever.

I love you, Kinoshita-san.

Hngh!

Thwap

Ain't no

Ain't no way!

waaaaay~

He's just anxious after

losing the competition for center.

And since he's letting all that anxiety

explode in front of me,

it must mean that he

has no one else he can talk to.

Maybe things aren't going well

with the people around him after all.

I'll go give the Gorilla some

cannoli and bombolones!!

I'll go give the Gorilla

some cannoli and bombolones!

Fujita-san seems as busy as ever.

Malice

Their producer seems super scary.

Go buy some butter sandwiches!

Go buy some

butter sandwiches

Ouri-kun is less a friend,

and more a rival and a gorilla.

I'll go give the Gorilla

some cannoli and

bombolones!!

Malice

Go buy some

butter sandwiches

I'd like to do whatever I can

for him, but

Plink

Sob Sob

I don't think I can make it today

I caught a cold

I'm sorry

What?!

What?!

Cool Sheet

That's rough, Yuina.

The King of Elixirs

Yuina

P Yummy, thanks

Oh, well. I guess I'll have to

spend the day alone.

Goodness!

Goodness! I must admit,

that certainly was a close one!

There were more Kanpyo-chans

in places I wasn't aware of.

If I missed out on the rare official merch

for my oshi, Kanpyo Roll-chan,

I would absolutely never be

able to live with myself!

She showed such bravery as she quivered

in the prize machine enclosure all alone!

I got this close to crying at the sight,

but I gave my tear ducts a stern pep talk

and successfully rescued her

from her glass prison!

Crane games ought to be a cruel mistress,

yet I was grabbed one after another

as if it were an AYCE, and as a fan,

I do feel a bit conflicted about this.

I must be the one to let the admins know

just how in demand Kanpyo-chan is!

The world desires Kanpyo-chan!

The seven seas desire Kanpyo-chan!

Have I ever experienced

such a fruitful day off before?

Actually, I may well have.

But that doesn't matter right now.

I must spend every last second rescuing

Kanpyo Roll-chans from glass prisons.

Relaxed

Hustle

Hustle

Hustle

Hustle

That is my sworn duty for today!

Pull

Onward h*! Until my time

of leisure comes to an end!

Pull

Knowing that all of the other Kanpyo fans

are also acting with happiness

and gratitude in their hearts

naturally gives

I get you The love

that we have for our oshis.

Kappa Rolls

Gloomyhara-san?!

What are you doing here?

Huff

Huff

Huff

Kinoshita-san

I'm so happy to run into you

in a place like this

Huff

Kinoshita-san

Inch

H-Hello

Inch

Do you have the day off today?

Inch

Er, yes

Because You think I'm hot.

If I get too close, he'll start giving out

Hottiehara-kun for free again.

Wobble

Kinoshita-san, please wait

I'm in a hurry!

Kinoshita-san!

Vrooooooom

Huh?!

His paper bag turned all fancy

and he suddenly got faster!

He caught up?!

Konk

Craaash

Drench

Drench

Drench

I-It's so hot

It's a sauna under here

Huff

How could you run around

in midsummer heat wearing that?

What're you going to do

if Tamon-kun gets heatstroke?!

I'm sorry. I'll be more careful.

Do you have the day off as well,

Gloomyhara-san?

I have some downtime

from work right now

I'm sorry that someone like me

was having fun.

Oh, no. I'm actually glad that

you have some hobbies.

Sometimes there're kappa

wrapped in really unique ways

Roll

They're rare ones.

Rare

Super Rare

Those are the figures that're

at his place, aren't they?

Tamon-kun's using the money we offer him

to buy himself Kappa Rolls for self-care.

Rare

Super Rare

Moved

That makes me happy.

I just wanted to give you one

because I got a dupe

Why did you run away like that?

You're actually about 100 cm taller

than we think you are.

So having you run at me when you're

that big is extremely intimidating.

Image 80 cm

Wait, I shouldn't be talking to him!

I shouldn't be interacting

with my oshi outside of work!

This is a

crazy otaku

I'm sorry for

what I did

I'll be paraded around town,

guilty of crazy fan crimes.

It's a crazy fan!

She's guilty!

Well, I'll be going now!

Make sure you properly recharge

and good luck at work!

Step

Ah!

Step

Step

Step

Um would you like

to have lunch toge

Absolutely not.

Ruthless

I guess you really do

just see me as trash

I got too c*ck. I guess I'll die now.

Please stop!

Only love, acclaim, and cheers are allowed

to be pointed at Tamon-kun!

Limp

Not this!

Eek

Today's my oshi activities day!

I'm making my pilgrimage

and going to places you've

already been to, Tamon-kun.

That sounds even better.

I'll give you a tour!

Bang!

Boom

He doesn't get it at all

This is

The place we had a location

sh**t at the other day.

Yes. It's a very popular shop

right now thanks to you.

One bite of a sandwich here helps you feel

that Tamon-kun is real and in this world.

When these two worlds that would usually

never intertwine hit your tastebuds,

Swoon

what fills your mouth is never-ending love

and just a little bit of guilt.

O-Oh, I see

And what are they doing over there?

I feel the aura he left behind.

You can feel the negative ions.

They are respecting

the ground Tamon-kun stood on.

It's just so cool.

The ground

Every single spot our oshi has been

becomes a power spot.

I don't really get it,

but if it makes everyone that happy,

maybe I'll crawl around on all fours

at the next location sh**t.

I love you.

But please don't.

Ta-daaah!

Let's eat.

Okay.

Is it fun taking photos of me

with the sandwiches?

It's the funnest thing in the world.

Would this make it even more fun?

You can take as many as you'd like.

Tamon-kun

Tamon-kun

So many Tamon-kuns?!

Tamon-kun

They're all Tamon-kun?!

So hot! I'm fizzling out!

Fizzling Out

Fizzling Out

Huh?

Kinoshita-san?!

Kinoshita-san?! Where'd you go?

If someone who wants

to express themselves is an artist

Utage's remains

and someone who wants

to entertain others is an entertainer,

it goes without saying

which group Tamon-kun belongs to.

Japanese Instruments

The F/ACE section's gotten even bigger!

The world is catching up to F/ACE!

Congratulations, world!

Tamon-kun is so hot!

Huh

And yet, this is

Boom

Hey, that's cute.

This

cannot be allowed!

Staaaare

Hey, are you having fun?

Er, y-yes.

Boom

How can I make him understand?!

That Hottiehara-kun mustn't be handed out

just to sate one girl's personal desires!

Oh, I know!

Gasp

I have an extra ticket

since Yuina wasn't able to come along.

Center Competition Documentary

Yuina

Gloomyhara-san! Let's go see a movie!

Huh?!

If you don't mind me

coming along, of course.

Oooooooh

Center Competition Documentary

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh

They were given the name "F/ACE" so they

could become the face of a generation.

I've seen this movie ten times

and cried ten times,

but it might be t*rture

for Tamon-kun to watch it

Our coverage covers

the announcement of their new song

But even then, I want him to know

This competition to choose the center

is a challenge that'll

take F/ACE to new heights.

That I like the Tamon-kun who tries hard

for everyone. Not just for me.

Bring it on.

Acting cool isn't

the only part of our job.

Come at me with everything you've got.

That he's that cool.

The title of the new song is "RAIN."

It takes the regrets a man feels when

he realizes the weight of what he's lost

and turns it into a lyrical melody

a ballad about heartbreak.

And for the first episode

I was honestly surprised

that we were repicking the center.

But F/ACE is a group

that's forever evolving,

so this is just a hurdle

that I need to get over.

Great job.

RAIN starts falling

Washing everything away

Why couldn't I realize it back then?

The sky in a morning without you—

so carelessly clear

The RAIN won't stop

Even if you're suffering,

please don't ever forget

Under the sky, I start running

That your dream

is right there, Tamon-kun.

I want you to see that.

Gah! That was

the absolute best of the best!

Waaaaaaaaah!!

Were you watching carefully,

Gloomyhara-san?

Now do you understand

how valuable Tamon-kun is?

Er, no

I honestly barely looked at the screen.

It was too much t*rture.

What?!

It's no use

But

It looked like you

were having a lot of fun

and you seemed really happy.

You weren't making those expressions

before seeing the movie.

Well, that's because um

It's just because

I love Tamon-kun so much.

I'd love to see that again.

If I make my dream come true,

would that make you as happy

as you are right now again?

I'd be the happiest girl in the world!

Maybe he does understand a little bit

Oh, yeah. I forgot about this.

You can have this.

Oh, thank you very much

Dash

What?! Wait, isn't this the rare one?

Gloomyhara-san!

Decorate your bathroom with Kappa Rolls.

You're in top form today, Tamon-kun.

He's exploding with sexiness.

I can feel my collagen

replenishing itself just watching him.

I thought he'd be dwelling about the fact

that he lost the center position more,

but he got right back onto his feet.

He's not even scared to work. Actually

This is your next job.

Here comes another nervous breakdown.

Okay, I'll do it.

You'll be fine! You don't need

to be so scared

Wait, what?

Thank you for everything

you do, Fujita-san.

I need to thank Kinoshita-san.

Because of her,

I've got one less bald spot.

Huh? He's not answering?

Huh?!

Good evening.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

You're Kinoshita-san right?

You're Tamon's housekeeper.

I was just trying to go

to Tamon-kun's place as usual,

and then Keito-kun greeted me

for some reason.

I-It's a pleasure to meet you.

Tamon-kun

National Treasure

So hot

Tamon-kun is a national treasure!

Keito Tachibana-kun.

Trusted by the Church of Tamon followers,

he loves his group mates and has

the friendliest, most relatable persona!

What is F/ACE's leader

and current center doing here?!

I mean, he probably lives here,

but what's he doing in front of me?!

Want to come over to my place right now?

Er, I don't mean anything weird by that.

Tamon and Ouri are also over right now.

You know them, right?

Will you let me thank you for

taking care of the others all the time?

I wouldn't say I've done that much

It's not like I could just go

into Tamon-kun's place so

Tamon-kun's

Apartment

Here we are. I'd like to thank you,

but I can really only offer you tea.

Um

You live next door to Tamon-kun.

I never even realized

Well, we do usually go home

at separate times.

Come in.

Oh, thank you

It's dark. It's immediately dark.

Poverty

Wow, the layout of his place

is exactly the same as next door.

Gloomy, gloom.

I can tell which belong

to whom in a single glance.

Time IsMoney

A Yen Saved Is a Yen Earned

Okay, everyone have a seat.

Work Hard and

Practice Frugality

Huh?

What the hell are you doing here?

I bet you came to see me—

Absolutely not.

I'm sorry I couldn't answer the door.

I called everyone over.

First, could you take a look at this?

Do you mind explaining this?

This is from yesterday?! When did he

The last time I spotted you two,

it was at our apartment building,

so I let it slide

But are you really just a housekeeper?

You guys met outside again?

Who do you think you are?!

Wait. What do you mean, "again"?

W-We just happened to run into each other!

It really was a coincidence.

Though I had fun.

Wha—

Well, I invited her over

to my parents' place twice.

Hey.

Seriously?

Work Hard and

Practice Frugality

She's got you both wrapped

around her finger. How pathetic.

I guess things are worse

than I suspected.

Kinoshita-san.

Yes?

We're trying to become world famous.

Our first album was a hit

and our Dome performance being

a success put us in the mainstream.

Our appearances on TV have

also been growing steadily.

This is our moment of truth.

I'm absolutely going to make F/ACE

a group that represents this generation!

Keito-kun

He really is a leader that cares

for his group like we thought.

We're gonna swindle

the fans out of all their money,

and I'm gonna go down

in history as a millionaire.

Shock!

Ke

Keke

Kekeke

As you know, these two are

the dual poster boys for F/ACE.

Frugality Is a Virtue

These two can make or break our group.

Flash

Stop deceiving our precious

golden geese, you wicked fangirl!

Wicked fangirl! Wicked fangirl!

Golden

Golden geese?

Golden

Golden

Geese

Really? This is what he's like?

Fans like you need to stop meddling

and just quietly act as our sustenance.

A fan that doesn't know

their place is worthless.

I'm not gonna let that slide,

you old scrooge!

Who're you calling old? I'm only twenty.

Excuse me

Could you not

speak to my fan like that?

I know there are certain people

that you dislike, Keito-kun

But you really shouldn't

say things like that.

I actually agree with him for once.

I always thought that was rather

shitty of you, you shithead!

What?!

Don't act all surprised!

I never say the same thing twice.

You literally just said "sh*t" twice.

So I guess things weren't going well

with the other members after all

I only said the truth.

Actually, they're not

getting along at all.

Shake

Quiver

Is that seriously the extent

of your vocabulary?

There's no way Tamon-kun can be

mentally stable in this situation.

You guys, violence is ba

Shut up!

You stay out of this.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that

my whole existence is a burden.

But it's not like an outsider like me

can butt into their problems

Not to mention

Fans are terrifying creatures.

They're ruthless beasts who engage

in bloody quarrels with each other.

Waaaaaaaaah

Rumble

They rival the CIA in gathering intel

Keito-kun!

Stick

and tailing others.

They're insane!

Tremble

Wait, I have heard that a certain part of

Keito-kun's fandom is off their rockers.

Are there actually fans like that?

Shake Shake

Shake Shake

Shake Shake

Shake Shake

There are!

Point

As a prime example, this woman has

clearly infiltrated your private lives!

Point

She's an evil fan who will

lead you both to your demise!

As proof, you both failed

in the competition for center!

You two should've been able to

Keito-kun?

If you mean well at all,

never come near these two again.

Hey! You don't have the right

to enforce anything like that!

This is an order as the leader.

It's true that Tamon-kun

wasn't able to become the center.

Tamon-kun realizes that

more than anyone else.

It's true that I'm a Tamon-kun fan.

I can't blame anyone

for thinking that about me.

Under One Sky, We

Strive for the Same Goal

Thinking logically, he's 100% right.

I should back away.

But

If I make my dream come true,

would that make you as happy

as you are right now again?

Even then

Tamon-kun's worries,

his smile, his hard work

I can't imagine they're for nothing.

It's true that I'm a fan.

And I'm always conflicted about whether

it's actually bad for me to be around him.

But

Blackfin Sea Bass

Stingy and Frugal Are

Not the Same

Constant Dripping

the Stone

Whenever I'm around Gloomyhara-san,

it's solely as his housekeeper.

And as his housekeeper,

I've done everything I can for him.

Ugh, what am I even doing?

I had just decided that I'd keep

my distance from Tamon-kun.

Maybe I am just a crazy fan after all.

Um And your manager is

the one who officially hired me, so

Our manager authorized this?

What the hell is Fujita-san thinking?

Kinoshita-san!

Fujita-san?!

Oh, there you are. Thank goodness.

Hm? What are you all doing here?

How did you know I was here?

I found this in front

of Keito's apartment.

Tamon-kun

How do you keep dropping that thing?

I actually have a request

for you, Kinoshita-san.

Will you participate in

F/ACE's training camp?!

B

o

o

m

What?!

What?!

Training camp?

It's going to be for a show.

To hit the ground running

as the new F/ACE,

we're going to have them

strengthen their bonds.

I wanna watch that.

We call it "F/ACE's Super Exciting

Summer Trip (TBD)".

Talk about lame.

Stop picking your ears

in my damn apartment.

Hey!

Wait a minute.

I have a ton of questions

But let's start with what's going on here.

The part-timer we hired to help

with the show won't be able to make it.

And as you know, the real F/ACE is a mess.

Don't call us a mess!

And we don't want others

finding out about our mess!

Grawr

So rather than hiring someone

who you don't know temporarily,

it's safer to bring this woman along

because she's in the know already?

Exactly.

But this is too sudden!

I have no idea how to do

talent agency work.

Don't worry, you'll be fine.

I'll make sure to contact your parents

and it'll just be supplementary work,

so we can't pay much,

but we'll definitely pay you.

It's summer break, right?

Blackfin Sea Bass

You have time, don't you?

Time Is Money

You want money, don't you?!

W-Well, yes, but

This is bothering Kinoshita-san

Tamon.

If we hire someone new, you won't be

able to let your guard down for a second.

Today's Savings Is

Tomorrow's Happiness

Are you okay with that?

I guess we don't have a choice, then.

Tamon's true personalty hasn't been

revealed to the rest of the world.

That must mean

you've kept your mouth shut.

I guess I can trust you there.

I'm also against doing anything risky

Wait a minute

But fans are still rotten anyway.

I'll reveal who you really are during

the two-night, three-day camp.

I can't keep up with all of this.

Are you serious?

She'll do fine. Let's take her.

Don't decide for m—

I'd also have you come along

rather than someone we don't know

Ooh!

Ooooooh

That's that.

Hell yeah!

We'll be in your care.

What?!

I'll fill you in on the details later.

We'll be leaving in three days,

so please be ready by then!

Dash!!

Fujita-san!

Don't go selling private photos of us.

Glare

I will not!

I'll bring you around

by the time the trip is over!

Super Excited

Around to what?!

A multi-day trip. I'm gonna throw up.

Wanna Throw Up

Tamon-kun is a god!

This is a mess!

I guess summer's nowhere near over yet.

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
