English readers will also have a chance to enjoy the series, as Viz Media has licensed the manga and plans to release the third compiled volume on September 19.
The story centers around two sleep-deprived teenagers who find solace in their school’s astronomy observatory. Ganta Nakami, often tired and unpopular among classmates due to his inability to sleep, stumbles upon the observatory, previously used by a disbanded astronomy club. In this unlikely setting, he encounters fellow insomniac Isaki Magari, and their friendship blossoms through their shared struggles.
The observatory carries dark rumors surrounding the former astronomy club, dissuading others from venturing there. However, for Nakami and Magari, it becomes a sanctuary for much-needed rest. Unfortunately, unauthorized use of the facility is forbidden by the school faculty. In their quest for a safe haven, the two protagonists entertain the idea of establishing a new astronomy club.
In addition to the manga, Insomniacs After School has been adapted into an anime series that premiered in Japan on April 10. The series was simulcast on HIDIVE as it aired in Japan. Notably, the music video for Macaroni Enpitsu’s song “Enshin” (Centrifuge), released in 2019, featured artwork from the manga.
