The story of a lazy male idol, ready to quit (or get fired), and the peppy poltergeist who brings him back from the brink, and rocketing to the heights of stardom! This madcap musical comedy is perfect for fans of My Dress-Up Darling, Kiss Him, Not Me! and Horimiya.
THIS PHANTOM’S A CUTIE!
Yuya, one half of the boy pop duo ZINGS, may be the laziest performer in the Japanese music industry. His partner is out there giving 110% every night, but Yuya’s sloppy dancing and his frankly hostile attitude toward the audience has the fans hating him and his agent looking for any excuse to cut him loose. The career of a pop idol just isn’t the path of easy leisure Yuya expected…
After a particularly lifeless concert appearance, Yuya meets a girl backstage. All she wants from life is to perform. There’s just one problem- She’s been dead for a year.

Review by Mida
When unenthusiastic Yuya laments his job as an idol, the last thing he expects is for a ghost to reply! With body-swapping, paranormal shenanigans and hilarious comedy, this series takes tropes and twists them on their heads. Add an expressive art style into the mix and Phantom of the Idol is perfect for the rom-com fan searching for something new!
