多聞くん今どっち!? 4 [Tamon-kun Ima Docchi!? 4] (2025)

Tamon and the rest of the dopes in F/ACE continue to work hard for their success. They all seem to be getting mixed up with Utage quite a bit, mind you, and when she’s dragged off on their summer vacation that only promises that things will only get worse.

The absurdist comedy is a tricky beast to tame and it’s no secret that I have found this particular manga’s execution wobbly at best. Possibly because, as much as it pains itself to portray what it claims are extremes, there’s no denial that this is probably fewer degrees away from crazy fans than we’d like to think.

Still, parts of it are very effective. Utage and Tamon running around to Tamon hotspots is very enjoyable. There is something I do find inherently funny about the way he literally makes Utage’s head explode and they just blur it out until she recovers.

Another thing I did not expect to enjoy was the revelation that F/ACE’s new centre, Keito, isn’t trying to hide how much of a dink he is. No, he is nakedly open about how his only desire is to milk his fans so he can get rich and live the high life.

This ends up manifesting as him being the most penny-pinching miser this side of Duckberg and there’s a lot you can do with that and I truly hope they lean into that more because it’s a comedy goldmine.

The lamer jokes about Tamon’s scriptures that Utage recites and such wild things are all the same as previous, although it’s quite welcome that they minimize the suicide gags this time around.

It’s about what I expect from Yuki Shiwasu, who has always had the subtlety of a blunderbuss when it comes to gags and expressions. Sometimes it works and, admittedly, there really isn’t another way to make this scenario work except aiming for the rafters.

Though I would argue that making this more about the incredibly dysfunctional members of F/ACE offers a lot more to play with than just watching Utage and Tamon fumble around with their potential romance that might be realized in another ten volumes or so.

The last chunk involves a summer vacation documentary which might honestly be one of the only times in recent memory the swimsuit cheesecake is limited entirely to the guys, so points for that. The way they shoehorn Utage in here is ridiculous, but the story knows it’s ridiculous at least.

It’s more of the same faffing about and near misses, now with the addition of Ori’s tsundere routine to the mix as he clearly has fallen in love with Utage and hates himself for it. The tortured love affair he appears to be carrying in his own mind is pretty funny and he recognizes Utage’s feelings even when she herself doesn’t (beyond her obsession).

Parts of this are genuinely amusing. Tamon wrapping himself up like he’s going to an off-Broadway production of The Castle of Cagliostro just to get a bath is great. It’s just a lot, constantly, without let-up, that’s only sometimes worth it.

If you have liked it thus far, it’s the same sort of thing, but with a couple of extra bright spots. There’s definitely enough to make it worth sticking with as it moves forward, at least for now.

3.5 stars - no rounding up, but I do want to acknowledge that there are some solid jokes and there’s a rather amusing turn for a couple of characters who initially appeared insufferable, which is no mean feat.

PLEASE STOP WITH THE CLIFF HANGERS I'M BEGGING YOUUUUUUUUU!!!! I need volume 4 now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*deep breath in, deep breath out*

I'm loving getting to see the "B" side of all of the members of F/ACE.

This is absolutely hilarious and I enjoyed every single minute of it.

I wonder if they'll ever talk about/deal with toxic fans, or if it will just stay fluffy the whole way through (I'm good with it either way) They briefly mentioned "problematic" fans, so we'll see.

I like that Kinoshita tries to make Tamon understand how much he means to his fans, but I don't like the whole "Tamon belongs to everyone" bit. I mean, if you're talking about how people shouldn't be toxic and try to gaslight other people into not liking Tamon, then yes. Tamon belongs to everyone. But saying that as if you're trying to talk him out of showing favor to one person is annoying. And is also a bigger problem idols face in general. But that's a whole other rant and I won't post it all here.

I cannot wait to see even more character development for everyone, and I want the romance to start amping up. So fingers crossed. And do I smell a love triangle??!

Thank you Viz Media for this ARC! All thoughts and opinions expressed are entirely my own.

This one was a little more lowkey but after the last volume, I’m fine with that. This is getting so good though!

I'm actually obsessed with this like it's so cute and fun and well written (and translated!) and it's not at all what I thought this series was going to be, I'm so happy I gave it a chance!!!

I love that we are seeing more of the other group members!

It's more of the same, but this volume is the funniest it's been since the first book. I love how Tamon can't really win. 😅 The Church of Tamon commands that his love and attention is for all of his fans and is too much for one person, but he wants to give it to one person... And that one person is basically the creator of the Church of Tamon, so he gets reprimanded and she feels guilty. 😆 Parts of this volume are super cute and some are even touching as the comedy pauses a moment. Utage's presence on the summer trip/documentary makes this even more like Skip Beat than usual. I sincerely planned on stopping the comparisons, but it's a straight up "Love Me" style task, so I can't help it. 😆

And my hopes for drama are dashed because Utage's uber-fan side came out to reprimand Tamon for... giving her too much Tamon™. So instead they have a day of him coming on too strong and her exploding until he finally puts 2 and 2 together that she just wants him to be the best Tamon™ he can be for everyone, not just her.

So instead we'll dig up drama with the other members of F/ACE as Keito gets wind of a fan spending too much time with her idol. Plus there's the whole Ori situation that still going on, so if we're not careful, Utage might accidentally end F/ACE through no fault of her own.

This manga is so fun to read, I love how Utage is getting closer to Tamon even if she doesn’t think so. Tamon is always thinking about her and wanted to take pictures of the sea for her! It was so cute!
Also Keito is so different from what he shows to the fans, but he’s not really shallow, he just wants the best for the band. Also, Ori is showing some feelings for Utage?? And the cliffhanger was great, they weren’t kissing but that’s how it looked to him. I want to continue reading this manga and seeing if Utage starts seeing Tamon as something more than an idol.

I just love that these idol boys are the complete opposites behind closed doors!!!!! It’s hilarious!!!

Poor Ori is catching feelings for Utage… lol! But he’s not the only one in denial! Utage is totally into Tamon but doesn’t want to take him from the “fans”… Girl, Tamon is a real person!!!! Not just some guy to idolize!!!!

his yandere came out in the last one so i was super worried but this volume was sm better haha. i love love keito's character he's adorable. i'm super excited for natsuki and rin's backstory. i have a feeling rin's gonna be a total cinnamonroll golden retriever !!

Gloomyhara and his mushrooms. 😅

High 4 stars. I really like this mangaka's ridiculousness.

4.5 stars!!

Another fun volume~!

The summer vacation documentary filming was so fun. I love that we are getting to see more of the other members too.

4,5 stars.

So cute!

8/24 Better than the last volume. My interest is back up and I'm in for the next volume!

Rate 3.5

The cliffhanger at the end . Cart, wait for vol 5.

Idc I love Tamon! I wanna wrap him up and just let him rest 😭

I really enjoyed this one as the group films a summer vacation and Utage helps their manager as part of the set crew. I can't wait to read the next volume because the way this ended...

tamon is silly!

Continuo a trovare questa serie molto piacevole e divertente, mi alleggerisce la giornata.

Oh ho????

Tamon is growing, even Ori is growing, Keito is actually a sweetie, Utage continues to be the best girl ever.... Perfection

Thanks Edelweiss and Viz Media for the DRC.

I love being continually introduced to new bandmates each volume. They all have such spicy “B-side” personalities besides Tamon, who is so timid except when it comes to defending his #1 fan.

I love Kinoshita‘s character and seeing her interact with her favorite group, but I do hope she’s able to truly separate the real Tamon, who I’m guessing likes her and the Tamon all of the fans like and adore. I hope she won’t be too hard on herself once she realizes she’s catching feelings and we can see them date (maybe many volumes in the future).

I hope no more members start to like her though. I don’t want this to turn into a F/ACE harem. I also wonder how deep they’ll delve into fandom and if they’ll touch on the toxicity in some parts.

Volume 4 does end on a cliffhanger but I’m not getting tired of seeing them yet. Can’t wait to read more.
