About Phantom of the Idol

2022, TV, 10 eps, 66%, Studio Gokumi

Most idols are fueled by their love of performing before adoring fans. Yuuya, however, is fueled by his love of an easy paycheck! Yuuya 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, a mysterious former idol who’s eager to stage her own comeback by any means necessary… including assuming complete control of Yuuya's willing body and aiming to become the best idol in the world together! Is their zany partnership a match a made in heaven, or is it pure idol hell?
