Tamon is an insecure mess in real life, and what’s worse, he’s threatening to quit! Utage refuses to let anyone stand in Tamon’s way—least of all himself. What’s a fangirl to do but roll up her sleeves and support her favorite singer with everything she’s got?
Shiwasu (Takane & Hana) debuted the original Tamon’s B-Side manga in Hakusensha‘s Hana to Yume magazine in October 2021. The series is based on Shiwasu’s earlier one-shot manga of the same name.
