Phantom of the Idol
神クズ☆アイドル
Kami Kuzu☆Idol
Phantom of the Idol runs on a bargain between a slacker and a ghost. Yuya Niyodo became an idol because it looked like easy money. On stage with his two-man unit ZINGS he barely bothers to dance and makes no secret of how little he thinks of the fans. His partner Kazuki works hard and cannot carry the act alone, so he fights to keep Yuya in the group. Yuya's luck turns backstage. There he runs into Asahi Mogami, a hugely popular idol who became a ghost a year earlier. Performing is the one thing she still wants. So he lends her his body. Asahi does the singing and dancing while Yuya collects the pay. Fans start to wonder why he has become so weird. This goofy comedy suits idol fans and readers who like odd-couple setups.
