Summary of Kimi wa Houkago Insomnia
It all started with the death of a member of the astronomy club. This brought the rumored spirit of the club to life. The sleepless and grumpy Ganta Nakami meets the moderately rebellious but easy-going Isaki Magari in the abandoned observatory of the Astronomy Club. Magari suddenly wakes up and tries to escape the place, but a broken door prevents her and forces both of them to enter. The two forge an unusual friendship that leads them to use the observatory as a safe place to socialize. Kimi wa Houkago Insomnia follows the days of the insomniacs Nakami and Magari at the Star Observatory as they help each other deal with insomnia and its lasting effects on student life.
