Volume one contains episodes 1-22 of the Webtoon Death of a Pop Star.

Sophie Lim is a World wide idol sensation. She can sing, she can dance, and shes loved dearly by her fans. Sophie is breaking into doing commercials as apart of her idol work. The commercial shoot comes to an end , this also the end of Sophie Lim’s life……Almost.

After Sophie takes a spill at the top of the stairs and dies, she meets her number one fan. The grim reaper. Sophie isn’t ready yet to leave this world as she doesn’t want to leave her aunt ( also her manager ) all on her own after being there for her since she was young. Lucky for her , she was able to strike a deal.

After the world thinks Sophie is pretty much done for after being in a coma, she awakes and this is where our real story begins. As her waking has taken the world and those close to her by surprise, the biggest changes are yet to come. Where Sophie has tackled the Pop Star world , she now is tackling going to school and trying to fit in. The universe does not make this easy on her.

The ending leaves you with a shocking truth, that makes you wonder if everything is truly an accident or is there something else going on that Sophie has yet to discover.

I thoroughly enjoyed the story , and I’m already looking forward to volume two. The characters are fun and you can see the personalities of all of them and how they connect with each other. I love the whole story line going on with Eli and cant wait till Sophie fully remembers who he is. I do wish we got more of the story of Sophie and her long time bestie who is making her debut. I can see that they have a connection but I wish we got a bit more background with the two of them. We also dont really know to much about Sophies Aunt or her family history in general, I am going to assume we will get more of that in the next volumes.

I also think it would be cool if we got more of Elis story, was he always a reaper? How is he being a reaper and a janitor, are there alot of grim reapers? I think going down the lore of him and the whole reaper story line would bring alot of the story together as well, I’m hoping his backstory doesn’t just fall to the side until the end.
