Despite being defensive, withdrawn and secretive, two high school students with insomnia are able to connect when they each discover their school's abandoned observatory is the perfect place to catch a nap when the school day gets too long and their fellow students get to be too much. It's quite a bit cliched with an obvious romance brewing and typical manga tropes all over the place -- meet cute, Manic Pixie Dream Girl, locked in room, the cool school nurse -- but it's engaging enough in its slow way to make me glad I have the second volume on hand for tomorrow. no reviews | add a review

"Unable to sleep at night, Ganta Nakami is cranky in class and unpopular with his classmates. He discovers that the school observatory, once used by the now-defunct astronomy club, may be the perfect place for a nap--but he's not along. Fellow insomniac Isaki Magari is willing to share the observatory with Nakami, and a friendship between the two begins as they bond over the most unlikely things. Dark rumors about what befell the members of the astronomy club keep people away from the school observatory, and that's what makes it the perfect sanctuary for Nakami and Magari to get some much-needed rest. Unfortunately, the school faculty can't allow its unsanctioned use. But if there were a new astronomy club, maybe these two insomniacs oculd have a place to call home!" -- No library descriptions found. |
