ABOUT

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.
THESE FANS ARE CRAZY!
Yuya Niyodo and his peppy phantom, Asahi Mogami, are making their way to the top of idoldom! After a successful concert, ZINGS wants to give back to their fans through the most practical merch possible--calendars! Overwhelmed with emotions after Yuya’s confession that he was glad he hasn’t quit being an idol, Niyodoids dive deep into product development, allowing their fantasies to go “wild”--such as Yuya with glasses or, wait for it... a different stage outfit! Even more exciting, ZINGS has been nominated for the Up Next Idol Awards!! Excitement is short-lived when Asahi learns of the return of her former idol group’s leader, Chikage Yura, after a year-long hiatus...but Chikage might be leaving the industry?!

STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS

Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
