Two sleepless teenagers find kinship as they escape to their school's astronomy observatory.Unable to sleep at night, Ganta Nakami is cranky in class and unpopular with his classmates. Nakami discovers that the observatory, once used by the defunct astronomy club, may be the perfect place for a nap—but he's not alone. Nakami and his new friend Isaki Magari find comfort in each other while coping with insomnia.
No one goes near the astronomy tower due to dark rumors about the fate of the last astronomy club members. Nakami and his classmate Magari decide it's their insomniacs' sanctuary. Unfortunately, the school faculty can't allow the unsanctioned use. But if there were a new astronomy club…
Ojiro launched the manga in Shogakukan's Big Comic Spirits magazine in May 2019. Shogakukan published the manga's 12th volume on April 6.
The manga is also inspiring a television anime that premiered on April 10 and is currently airing. HIDIVE is streaming the anime as it airs in Japan. The music video for rock band Macaroni Enpitsu's "Enshin" (Centrifuge) song featured art from the manga in 2019.
