Jun Wakatsuki launched the Promise Me the Spotlight manga series in Kodansha’s Shonen Magazine Edge in 2022 before moving to the Magazine Pocket app in 2023. Kodansha publishes the series in print, and Kodansha’s K MANGA service publishes the manga digitally.
K MANGA describes the manga series as follows:
“If you can really make me the Center…then we can get married.” Meet Mizuki Natsuno, the least popular member of the nationally acclaimed idol group, Melty Strawberry. She has an eternal fan in Koichi Okuta, who is always pouring heart and soul into supporting her. Normally, a fan would never get to interact with their idol beyond the stage. But one thing led to another, and Koichi now finds himself living together with Mizuki in his own house. He vows to make her the new Center of Melty Strawberry, sparking an unconventional tag-team between a devoted fan and his idol. Together, they attempt to elevate Mizuki’s career from obscurity to stardom!
