Synopsis
Lonely boy meets idol Kokoro; after rooftop accident, she mysteriously phases through walls as a ghost.
Taichi Yamada is an average and lonely boy who falls in love with an idol named Kokoro Shina. One day, there is a DVD promotion and a handshake event with the idol somewhere on the rooftop of a complex. Kokoro falls off the rooftop and onto Taichi, who is on his way to the event. Both of them are hospitalized. Taichi is only slightly injured, but Kokoro goes through surgery. While Taichi is being explained to by a nurse about what happened, Kokoro comes to Taichi's ward room. But she comes through the wall! What happened to her?

- 5 “I dislike this manga. As usual the story seemed interesting enough for the first few chapters. Reading on I realized all the characters are stupid (hence the name I guess). I kept on reading...”
