“Tamonkun Ima Dochi!?”, a TV anime adaptation of Shiwasu Yuki’s romantic comedy manga, has been decided to be broadcast from January 2026. In addition, the music video for the debut song “F/ACE OFF” of the idol group “F/ACE” born from the same work has been released. The original manga, which is serialized in “Hana to Yume” (published by Hakusensha), depicts a high school student, Kinoshita Utage, who supports the popular idol “F/ACE” Fukuhara Tamon, who finds out about Tamon’s “dreary and gloomy” true face and feels a crush on him as she supports him with all her might, despite his low self-esteem. The total number of copies published has exceeded 1 million (including e-books), and it was ranked 9th in the women’s edition of “This Manga is Amazing! 2023” and 6th in the comics category of the “Next Manga Award 2023”.

Two unique anime projects blend idol culture and sci-fi nostalgia
The announcement of “Takimonun Ima Dochi!?” and “Galaxy Express Milky☆Subway” showcases the vibrant diversity of Japan’s anime industry. “Takimonun” leans into idol culture with the music video by “F/ACE” and an upcoming voice drama, aiming to engage fans through multimedia storytelling. Meanwhile, “Milky☆Subway” taps into retro-futuristic aesthetics and nostalgic sounds, using Candies’ classic song as its theme. The casting of popular voice actors like Mikako Komatsu and Hisako Kanemoto further raises anticipation. This juxtaposition of idol drama and sci-fi parody highlights how anime continues to experiment with genre hybrids to reach wider audiences.
