Uh oh, Utage getting confused which interaction and reaction to use on which Tamon. Confused not just her mind but her emotion too.  |
| YANDERE TAMON IS HERE OH MY GOD?? He’s so fucking hot? Utage way stronger than me because I’d fold. I love how they’re not being too cliche with it tho and having Utage just accept all of this. Like she’s clearly not comfortable with how Tamon’s acting and he’s forcing the issue after losing the center competition. It’s going to be interesting to see how this gets resolved! But I did really enjoy seeing him being so aggressive and going into the hottiehara persona, it should be a dream come true for Utage, but again, the context behind it makes it less than ideal for Utage. Also, this episode really exposed the toxic codependency that Tamon has developed for Utage. It’s clearly started making her uncomfortable too so that will have to change if they’re going to have a serious relationship. They can’t keep putting each other on a pedestal. The freaking face lick is INSANE tho so I’ll allow the toxicity for a while, I do like seeing Tamon be so down bad tbh.😩😍 |

| Holy... I'm glad they are finally talking about how weird their relationship is. She helped him when he was at his most vulnerable/still is, and he sees her as his savior. Of course he's never going to want to let her go. With these kinds of relationships, the person being saved cannot function without their savior. Clearly demonstrated in this episode by Tamon saying he will off himself if Kinoshita leaves him and also in the cake making scene where he explicitly said Kinoshita leaving him would be "betrayal". I'm glad also that Kinoshita is starting to realize how manipulative Tamon is. She finally noticed that Tamon uses his fake persona to get her to do basically whatever he wants even when it makes her feel uncomfortable like in the cake eating scene and the cake licking scene. I really hope the story manages to change this toxic relationship they have going into something healthy. This latest episode gives me hope for improvement.  |

| Everything worked out for Tamon in the end..even though he lost his place as center, he still managed to win more fans. Utage has unlocked a new face of Tamon. A Possessivehara apart from the usual gloomyhara or ikehara. And a possessive and jealous Tamon seems like a bad news for Utage as she's on the verge of dying due to how close they're becoming lol Keito seems to be another asshole like Ouri. But at least Ouri respects his fans but the same can't be said for Keito. Utage's quips are getting funnier with each episode. |
| Tamon is really doing his absolute best he is doing so well to overcome his confidence issues. |
| Tamon turns his Yandere up. |
| https://www.honeyfeed.fm/u/34774/novels Why must the products of man trouble me so? |
| This felt pretty dark towards the end with Tamon repeatedly and intentionally flipping a switch to manipulate Kinoshita. They have such an insane relationship with each other and it slowly develops into a co-dependency. |
| Omg Tamons becoming a yandere lets frickin go |

"But, I figured you'd be okay with it, Kinoshita-san. Because… You think I'm hot."
THIS EPISODE IS CRAAAZYYY I LOVE IT SO MUCH HOLY SHIT. I Fucking love how creepy it gets, with the change in music and Tamon's behavior being portrayed as invasive and possessive! He gets like this…, kind of mix, where he's still a gloomy person but… is a sharp edge nonetheless.
Because Utage's treatment of him made him so happy… he started feeling a bit entitled to it. He crosses seemingly harmless boundaries, because Utage reveres him as an idol… but it's not harmless. It sets up a worrying and unhealthy principle where Utage's words and consent loose power. There's an inherent power imbalance in their relationship, both as an idol and fan, and as employer and employee.
I'm not saying this is done maliciously or anything, but I find intense emotions like that in fiction amazing~
From the start though, Utage had also profited from their relationship- it's sort of like a real fantasy to be able to spend time/take care of your point of obsession. She tries to keep herself in her place, but it's honest to point out they're both taking advantage of the situation.
What I love is that their relationship to each other is very sweet- I think anyone with low self esteem can appreciate how consistent and firm Utage's love it(without questioning it's nature for the moment). But it being the main/only source of self worth for Tamon, growing accustomed to that is not healthy. And the type of otaku-love Utage has, isn't healthy for an in-person relationship either. The kind of worth each one holds towards the other, unless something changes, isn't on a healthy course for either.
But… they're both sweet, and make each other happy. And we can only hope they can overcome those flaws in the relationship, and have our unrealistically amazing shojou couple~~
Sorry for the ramble LOL I really love what this episode had going on!!! It's so! Cool!

| so Tamon is a douchebag now? man... |
 |
| I really liked that dark turn towards the end! It was unexpected for sure. I am really excited for next week. This makes me want to pick up the manga as well. |
| Things got pretty dark suddenly. So, Tamon is one of those who can change faces at will, huh? He knew she can't say no to him when he becomes sexyhara, and she knows that too. Damn... And we haven't met the other two remaining members of F/ACE (well, one, sort of. We saw the new leader's colors) |
| ©2025 LaczPro What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway). And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea). |
| Possessive Tamon-kun is here, cannot wait to see what happens next ep!!! |
| ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧ |
| omg, I definitely didn't expect him going full yandere xD |
   |
| YANDERE ALERT! YANDERE ALERT! (Couldn't resist) Honestly was not expecting this side of Tamon-kun and it could be dangerous going forward, especially with the new center (Kaitou?) having the "All is going as planned..." when the cameras aren't on. |
| GHAWD I FORGOT TO BREATHE!! A bit creeped out, extremely intrigued by the character development, and a bit lightheaded from screaming at some of these interractions! The only thing I'll say is that it's already getting tiring that the other members are seemingly way worse people than their on stage personas, most idols just wouldn't have that big of a gap. |
| The 2002 Tokyo Mew Mew adaptation is not as great as you remember it being. |

| @CukieMunster Yesss me too! I'm actually quite surprised they are bringing up their relationship dynamic in a shoujo anime. It's not just there for the lols but actually there's a power difference between the two. We know as viewers that it will turn out well in the end, but it is such a great plot point for a drama. He's blurred the lines of their relationship from not just a friend but to this person he must keep else he'll die. Clearly our boy is dealing with some really really bad anxiety that's crossing over into paranoia. Darn, now I kind of wish we'd see this story as a josei drama, cuz then it would totally dive in deep with this kind of psychological drama. <_< |
| oh my god kicking my feet i love them so much pleaseeee i can't wait for them to date also I think Tamon doesn't know any other way to express his emotions right now. he can only act to make it happen, gloomy is too scared to do it himself. excited to see what happens next |
| duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude. My Yandere sensors are going crazy. Don't go too far to the dark side Tamon-kun! Interested to see more of "Keito's real self"....that tiny bit of dialogue he had with Ouri was such a mega tease...and a letdown cuz he didn't confront MC after...I mean....yet. |
:3 |
| Now Tamon is yandere, which is quite logical, in principle. |
| i actually like the route they’re taking here. utage has already been established to be kind of crazy— she has an odd and extreme parasocial thing going on despite knowing tamon irl. she’s super weird, there’s no denying it. but, up until this point, tamon hasn’t been nearly as weird as she has, and in this episode we’re shown that he’s knowingly manipulative so he can keep utage by his side. he’s insanely possessive. now they’re BOTH weird. this makes the series a lot more interesting, and i’m excited to see where it goes!! |
