Kimi wa Houkago Insomnia (Insomniacs After School) is getting an anime adaptation (announcement from 8th volume)

Plot Summary:

Quote:

It all started with the death of one of the Astronomy Club's members. From this, the rumored ghost of the club came to life.

Grumpy insomniac Ganta Nakami stumbles across the moderately rebellious yet easygoing Isaki Magari in the Astronomy Club's abandoned observatory. Magari is jolted awake and tries to escape from the scene, only to have a broken door prevent that, forcing the two inside. The two forge an unlikely friendship, leading them to use the observatory as a safe space for them to interact.

Kimi wa Houkago Insomnia follows the insomniacs Nakami and Magari's time in the starlit observatory as they help each other cope with insomnia and the lasting effects it has on student life.

Heh, I love this series and knew an announcement was coming and was afraid it would be a live-action rather than anime. Turns out it's both!

One of the sweetest and most charming HS romances around, but maybe a little tricky to adapt - it's quirky and needs the right look.

Not till 23, but at least we got a PV and no Kaji Yuuki. I know people sort of go "Kimochi Warui!!" when they hear Lidenfilms, but as a lover of the manga this looks quite good to me. Just surreal to see these two wonderful little caneles in motion at last.

Some strong atmosphere and romantic vibe

I kinda like the vibe and there seems to be a twist that may or may not remind me of Tasogare Otome x Amnesia. Currently considering picking this up.

Guardian Enzo · 2022-12-26, 05:00

Coming in spring - and why not, everything else is.

Looks pretty on-point to me. Lidenfilms has raised their game - 2022 was a good year for them, and 2023 could be another.

Guardian Enzo · 2023-03-05, 06:49

And another trailer. Lidenfilms is really upping their game lately.

Most seasons this would be a clear AotS frontrunner. Maybe not this one, but that's a testament to the competition.

I'll give it an episode. Trailers actually gave some intriguing aspects. As long as this doesn't go down the chuuni rabbit hole.

Frontier · 2023-03-07, 13:20

Looks very beautiful and atmospheric

!

Like Call of the Night if it was a more normal high school romance

That was just so pure and wholesome. Enzo's picks never disappoint.

I do like this one very, very much.

Guardian Enzo · 2023-04-10, 20:39

I'm net sure getting Kou from Call of the Night's seiyuu was smart.

Same studio. Same male lead VA. I have to wonder if they were tempted to cast Sora Amamiya again

this was a great first chapter. It reminds me a Friends chapter, were ross and joey needed each other to have the best nap ever.

it seems that isaki is figuring it out.

Frontier Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2013	Spoiler: So this is like Call of the Night if it was still a very pretty nighttime romance for insomniacs only there's no vampires and the leads actually still go to school ! Nakami comes across as pretty surly and withdrawn, but if you had chronic insomnia and were tired all day you'd probably be a bit of a grouch, though at least he has a buddy in Ukegawa . Kanitani is pretty cute! Although I don't think she and Nakami will ever get along well . Find a secret spot in an abandoned observatory, encounter a sleeping beauty! Isaki is quite the spirited cutie, and while she and Nakami don't start off on the right foot, but once they realize their shared insomnia issue there's an instant connection between the two that's deep enough that they end up falling asleep next to each other. She even uses his leg as a pillow and they've only known each other for two minutes ! Mamiko Noto as the sexy school nurse? Can I got to this school ? If they can't sleep, then they may as well make the most of it and have fun at night! And thus begins the Nightly Fun Society, both an excuse for them to have something to do to keep them occupied at night and an excuse to send more time together ! These two kids are having a night out on the town all to themselves! And just like with Call of the Night there's an intimate and romantic air to the night, especially with two people just wandering around seeing the sights. They even manage to have an intimate moment together while avoiding the police. Seems that Nakami and his heartbeat can make Isaki comfortable enough to actually sleep a little. Almost like these two were destined to find each other . I would love to see more of Isaki's gymnastic experience, especially her flexibility . Isaki doesn't seem like she comes from a bad home so much as she was so used to being taken care of when she had a frail constitution that she doesn't want to burden anyone with her issues any more. Nakami brings up his dad but it seems like he's currently living alone . These two managed to reach all the way to the morning together, and while they don't quite know how to define their relationship at this point, it's obvious they've formed a connection together that will probably deepen as they get to know each other and deal with their shared insomnia together. And Nakami now knows where Isaki lives, so he's got that going for him . __________________
