Synopsis

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.

Insomniacs After School draws you in with main female lead Magari’s cute bubbly personality and infectious kindness. For me, the Manga is exceptional up to about chapter 55. Past this point, Insomniacs After School struggles to show any sort of progression for our star-crossed lovers. The few romantic scenes past chapter 55 are short and don’t hit as deeply as they did initially.

The ending really disappointed me as it seems like the author simply ran out of steam or motivation. There’s no real closure. The ending isn’t happy or sad, just is extremely lacking in everything that made me love the series. It seems ...

The wholesome romance between the two main characters is easily my favorite in all the manga I've read. That's what anyone coming here would be reading for, so I recommend it to you because of that. It's really good. However, the manga is far from perfect. In typical romance fashion, there's a bunch of side characters that contribute virtually nothing and no one really gives a shit about and are just there for filler between chapters where romantic progression happens (wow here they are at the mall! wow here they are at the park! wow here the gang is at the fishing hole!). The ending ...

Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (63/125 eps)
Let me start this review by saying that I understand why people love this manga. Even though I personally did not enjoy it, "Insomniacs after school" has many elements that warrant it being one of the best romance stories in the eyes of so many people.

The biggest selling point of this manga is the characters. Romance as a genre likes to include eccentric and exaggerated characters, especially if it's targeted for younger audiences, but the cast of "Insomniacs after school" feels grounded and relatable. The problems that the characters face and the ways they react to them are interesting but not overly dramatic.

My first problem ...
