Beautifully orchestrated
6 June 2023
Ganta and Isaki run into each other sneaking away from school life. Since both of them suffer chronic insomnia at night, the only time they are able to get some shut-eye is at school. Fortunately, they discover the perfect hiding place...

Kimi wa Hokago Insomnia is a beautifully orchestrated romance. The storytelling is coherent, unagitated and full of relatable characters with distinct personalities. The unobstrusive soundtrack is full of wonderful pieces which perfectly accompany the scenes and subtly set the right emotional backdrop. Carefully placed jokes and comic reliefs make sure to provide a change from the deep but (so far, episode 9 as of this review) overwhelmingly wholesome story, without ridiculing itself.

'Insomniacs after school' seems like a wonderful piece of art. I love watching the two protagonists grow, both as individuals and as a couple, and sincerely hope that their story does not take a dark turn at some point. Definite recommendation!
