The author commented on this:

• «I'm so happy because I've always dreamed of my manga becoming an anime! I can't wait to see how the characters will talk and move in the anime. I'm especially curious to see what kind of songs the actors' voices will create, since it's impossible to express F/ACE's music with just words and images. The animation team is working hard to prepare the music, so I can't wait for the broadcast to start and help out as an author in any way I can!».

Tamon B-Side Synopsis

Idol group F/ACE has recently seen a surge in popularity thanks to their handsome, wild, and talented leader Tamon Fukuhara. 17-year-old Utage Kinoshita is one of F/ACE’s most adoring fans. With her life revolving around her adoration of Tamon, Utage works at a cleaning company to earn money and continue supporting him. When her coworker falls ill, Utage is assigned a new client with the same name as Tamon. She thinks it’s just a coincidence, until she comes face to face with the real celebrity!

His surprise only increases when he discovers that, unlike the outgoing star known to the public, Tamon is actually a dark guy, without friends or self-confidence. As Utage's adoration for Tamon knows no bounds, she swears to keep his secret and stay by his side, but dealing with Tamon's opposite behaviors inside and outside of work may be the most difficult task there is.
