This year's
15th issue of Hana to Yume magazine, published by Hakusensha,
revealed on July 4 that the manga Tamon-kun Ima
Docchi!? will have an official spin-off titled Tamon-kun
Ima Docchi!? F/ACE Off Stage!. This new installment will be in charge
of Uzu Natsumo and will be published in the special edition
of The Hana to Yume Numa magazine, with a release date
scheduled for July 26 in Japan (UTC+9), which corresponds
to 5:00 p.m. on July 25 in Spain (UTC+2).
The story
will focus on the chaotic and energetic day-to-day life of the boyband
F/ACE, a fictional group within the manga's original universe. This new
approach promises to show a lighter, comedic and everyday side of the group,
complementing the drama and emotion of the main title.
A
phenomenon that does not stop growing
The
original manga, created by Yuki Shiwasu — also known for her
work Takane & Hana — debuted in October 2021 within the
same magazine. Since then, Tamon's B-Side has gained great
recognition among readers, to the point of being nominated for Best
Shōjo Manga at the 47th Kodansha Manga Awards in 2023. In
addition, it was ranked number 9 on the list of most recommended manga for
readers in Takarajimasha's Kono Manga ga Sugoi! 2023 guide.
What is
Tamon's B-Side about?
Viz
Media, which
licenses the manga in English, describes the main story as follows: "Tamon
is a mess of real-life insecurities, and the worst part is that he threatens to
abandon his career. Utage, a devoted fan, isn't about to let anything or
anyone—not even himself—stand in her way. What's a fan to do but roll up her
sleeves and wholeheartedly support her favorite singer?"
An anime
adaptation already on the way
The Tamon's
B-Side universe continues to expand. In addition to the upcoming
spin-off, it was confirmed that the manga will inspire an anime
adaptation that is scheduled to premiere in January 2026.
With all these announcements, it is clear that the story of Tamon and company
still has a lot to offer.
