Phantom of the Idol, Volume 1 by Hijiki Isoflavone
4.0
4.5 stars, rounded down (as it's only the first volume)
Plot: Niyodo, a reluctant male idol who only does his job for the money it affords him and puts in minimum amounts of effort meets the ghost of Asahi, a 17-year old girl who was the top of her idol game when she was struck down in a car accident. They work together and share body in order for her to continue her dream of being an idol and allowing Niyodo the chance to be lazy!
Thoughts: This was *so* fun. When I realised that it contained a ghost, I thought it may be quite sad so initially was put off but very quickly got into the comedy elements, so much so that I want to (and will) continue the series. The characters are likeable (and very different), the art style is really fun and engaging. Genuinely enjoyed this WAY more than I was expecting.
I was provided with a complimentary copy of this volume by Kodansha via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review, which I leave voluntarily
