[Urban Slice of Life + Man Disguised as a Woman + Underground Idol + Anime]
Lu Fan, a student from Longguo who had only recently graduated, was looking for work in Neon Country, but kept getting rejected at interviews.
One day, while interviewing at a company, he was mercilessly humiliated by a middle-aged CEO with a receding hairline. In the end, he failed the interview and was turned down. Looking at the meager living expenses left in his bank account and the rent reminder text from his landlady, Lu Fan sank into gloom.
That night, still feeling down, Lu Fan wandered into an underground live house on a bar street. To his horror, the cute twin-tailed idol at center stage, singing and dancing energetically and winking at the crowd, was none other than the balding CEO who had humiliated him that morning!
To get back at the CEO for humiliating him, Lu Fan tracked him down in private and threatened him: “Boss, you wouldn’t want your fans to find out who you really are, would you?”
To keep him quiet, the CEO offered a deal Lu Fan couldn’t refuse: start work at the company tomorrow, with a monthly salary of 500,000 yen, but dress as a girl at night and join the group as his “cute idol partner”!
With money on the line and survival in Tokyo at stake, Lu Fan had no choice but to agree.
And so Lu Fan began a hellish double life:
By day, he was a wage-slaving man at the company, scolded by his female supervisor at work and teased by his landlady after hours.
By night, he was “Fanfan,” a cool new underground idol, adored by his male fans and teased by the girls in his group.
Thus began Lu Fan’s career as an underground idol.
The writing is indeed good, but the persecution of the president was so miserable that I felt a little pity for him.
