Tamon-kun Ima Docchi!?

Idol group F/ACE has recently risen in popularity all thanks to Tamon Fukuhara—its handsome, wild, and talented leader. Seventeen-year-old Utage Kinoshita is one of the vocal fans who greatly admires F/ACE. As her life revolves around worshiping Tamon, Utage works at a housecleaning company to earn money and continue supporting him.

When her coworker gets sick, Utage is assigned to a new client with the same name as Tamon. She believes it is merely a coincidence—until she comes face to face with the real celebrity! Her surprise only grows when she discovers that, unlike the extroverted superstar known to the public, Tamon is actually a gloomy guy with no friends or self-confidence.

Given that Utage's adoration for Tamon knows no bounds, she vows to keep his secret and stay by his side—but dealing with Tamon's contrasting behaviors in and out of work might be the toughest job out there.

Preliminary (3/13 eps)

I thought I wasn't the target audience for this series, I've never been a fan of celebrities and don't care about Jpop/Kpop, but this anime is hilarious. Even if you are not an idol fan, it's a great satire that's self-aware enough to acknowledge how these singers put on a carefully crafted persona and how fans buy into it. At the same time, we see the positive side of their job with them inspiring young people like Utage.

The relationship between Tamon and Utage is wholesome, with Utage respecting Tamon's private life and actually doing her job when she's working at his place - Utage is ... great at lifting Tamon's spirits while Tamon's kindness resonates with Utage. Even though she's a superfan of his, she differentiates between his idol self and real personality, and the worst thing she's done so far was "exploding" when Tamon switched between his personas. They are both awkward teenagers and have great chemistry.

The supporting cast is also great, not so surprisingly all members of F/ACE are different off-stage which would probably be the same in real life as well. They all have their own story and life outside of the band and only play into their characters when they are on camera. This is the kind of self-awareness that I love about this show, in every episode we are reminded that Tamon's on-stage persona was also decided by his agency. The situations arising from superfan meeting the different faces of her idols are hilarious, and the voice actors are doing an amazing job.

Production quality for a shoujo series is outstanding, the visuals are amazing, the songs are catchy. Probably the best rom-com of 2026, I highly recommend it to anyone, regardless of gender it's a good anime.

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (5/13 eps)

I honestly have very mixed feelings about Tamons b side. I love the premises even though it’s a bit cheesy it’s cute and tamon and the other members of f/ace interest me. The music for the show, the animation and concepts of face and their fans are creative but I think my problem lies more with Utage. She is not really an mc I like or can root for? Is she suppose to be “relatable” but I find her spending all her money and time praising an idol she doesn’t know weird and her calling Tamon god yelling at him and any of the ... humour surrounding her i genuinely find to be extremely cringey. She is not only a parasocial fan that’s played for laughs she genuinely is so bland and shallow? She likes Tamon for his looks (gloomyhara is ok because he’s still hot tamon!) and is basically coaching him to be like his idol persona but I cannot get behind that concept i genuinely feel bad for Tamon and the pressure and self esteem issues he has and the only person he has helping him is a parasocial fans who views him like god and wants him to be like persona his company made him be and not because she also appreciates his true self. I genuinely hope it gets better but do think this will be the main humour and how the mc is which is disappointing, her behaviour is not normal- it’s creepy and not quirky, I think if the mc was different I would have liked this show better but her wanting Tamon to be for the people and not want to date him is weird I’m sorry.

TL;DR: if the mc was different and not a parasocial, shallow weirdo the story could’ve progressed better and I would have liked it!

I wanted to like Tamon-kun Ima Docchi?!, .
My issue isn’t romance, and it’s not “idols can’t date.” It’s how obsession and parasocial behavior are framed as cute or harmless.
Utage having two years’ worth of archived interviews, quotes Tamon doesn’t even remember, and tracking everything he’s said online would be disturbing in real life. The fact that the story treats this as endearing—while Tamon himself is clearly struggling with self-esteem and mental health—feels tone-deaf.
What bothers me more is that Tamon’s emotional issues are repeatedly “solved” by Utage instead of him actually addressing them himself. He doesn’t need a fan-turned-romantic-interest to stabilize him; he needs support, boundaries, ... and honestly therapy.
The show could have been a great story about an idol learning self-worth outside fan validation, or navigating identity beyond his public persona. Instead, it leans into a fantasy where a devoted fan is rewarded for fixation.
I get that some people find it cute—but for me, the normalization of obsessive fandom crosses a line, especially when real idols deal with stalking and harassment. That context makes it hard to enjoy.
