PHANTOM OF THE IDOL FOR THE UNINITIATED
Synopsis: Yuya is one half of the idol duo ZINGS, but his supreme laziness (not to mention his disdain for idol fans in general) has him on the brink of getting blacklisted from the business. In a chance backstage encounter, he meets the spectral Asahi, the ghost of a former idol who’s eager to stage her own comeback by any means necessary… including possessing Yuya’s willing body! Is their zany partnership a match made in heaven, or is it pure idol hell?
