Kodansha Comics describes the story as follows (translation):
Yuuya, one half of the boy-pop duo ZINGS, might be the laziest artist in the Japanese music industry. His partner gives 110% every night (and is fortunately quite popular), but Yuuya’s half-hearted, sloppy dancing and frankly hostile attitude toward the audience lead to fans hating him and his agent looking for an excuse to fire him. A pop idol’s career just isn’t the path of easy leisure and admiration Yuuya expected...
After a particularly lifeless concert performance, Yuuya meets a girl backstage. She’s wearing a colorful outfit, full of energy and drive, and all she wants from life is to perform. There’s just one problem: She’s been dead for a year. She’s the ghost of Asahi Mogami, the beloved singer whose time on stage was tragically cut short—unless... If ghosts are real, is possession by a ghost really so far-fetched?
