Summary of Kimi wa Houkago insomnia

It all started with the death of a member of the Astronomy Club. From this, the rumored spirit of the club came to life. Ganta Nakami, sleepless and grumpy, meets Isaki Magari, moderately rebellious but composed at the Astronomy Club’s abandoned observatory. Magari wakes up startled and tries to flee the place, but a broken door prevents her, forcing them both to enter. The two forge an unlikely friendship that leads them to use the observatory as a safe place to meet. Kimi wa Houkago Insomnia follows insomnia-stricken Nakami and Magari’s time at the astronomical observatory as they help each other cope with insomnia and the lasting impact it has on college life.
