Viz Media has licensed the manga in English and will release the first volume on March 21. A live-action film adaptation is also in the works and is set to premiere in 2023. Below you will get the synopsis of the story by Viz Media.
Two sleepless teenagers find kinship as they escape to their school’s astronomy observatory. Unable to sleep at night, Ganta Nakami is cranky in class and unpopular with his classmates. He discovers that the school observatory, once used by the now-defunct astronomy club, maybe the perfect place for a nap—but he’s not alone.
Fellow insomniac Isaki Magari is willing to share the observatory with Nakami, and a friendship between the two begins as they bond over the most unlikely of things. Dark rumors about what befell the members of the astronomy club keep people away from the school observatory.
In addition, that’s what makes it the perfect sanctuary for Nakami and Magari to get some much-needed rest. Unfortunately, the school faculty can’t allow its unsanctioned use. But if there were a new astronomy club, maybe these two insomniacs could have a place to call home!
