Anime Review: Kimi wa Houkago Insomnia
Kimi wa Houkago Insomnia is a very misleading show–not in the way that’s bad–in fact, far from it. It’s far more complex than what the title ‘Insomniacs After School’ suggests. When you read that name, it sounds like a lighthearted slice-of-life comedy. Kinda like how the band in K-On! was called Afterschool Tea Time. Most of this has to do with the ‘Houkago’ part, which in fact does translate to ‘After School’. I mean, a lot of the anime does have to do with insomniacs after school, but it isn’t one-dimensional as the title suggests. I’m perhaps the only person that thinks this way, perhaps I’m not. Thank goodness that it can be shortened to Kimisomu. The name ‘Insomniacs After School’ leads me to think that I’m about to watch a sketch anime. Kimi wa Houkago Insomnia does have its funny moments, but there’s a lot more depth than what the title suggests.
Ganta Nakami is a high school student who suffers from insomnia. As you would expect, it causes him to be crabby and generally unsociable. Searching for supplies near the school’s abandoned observatory, he discovers two things: the perfect place to take a nap, and a girl who's already taking one there. That girl, Isaki Magari, happens to suffer from the same condition–together, they establish the observatory as their resting spot. Sealed off from the rest of society, the dome offers comfort for both that no other place does. It also offers them the opportunity to get to know each other.
After getting caught in the observatory by a school nurse, Nakami and Magari re-establish the Astronomy Club in order to keep their sacred place. Not wanting to half-ass being in the club (and potentially having the observatory taken away from them), Nakami takes it upon himself to learn all about the world of astronomy. From consulting former club members for advice to learning how to set up a camera to take shots of the night correctly, Nakami leverages his inability to fall asleep in order to get better at his new hobby. Magari, while not taking as active a role as Nakami, is always there with him nonetheless.
Nakami and Magari are often accompanied by their friends. Nakami’s friends…or rather, friend, Tao Ukegawa is perhaps the only one, besides Magari, who understands him. Since they’re childhood friends, he’s seen Nakami grow from a youthful child to the lethargic teen he is today. Magari, being more sociable, has three friends who often come to her support when she needs help. Indeed, Motoko Kanikawa, Kanami Anamizu, and Mina Nono are there for her (and Nakami) when they need help with Astronomy Club-related stuff. Speaking of help, Nakami and Magari often go to their senpai, Yui Shiromaru, for advice related to astronomy. As a former member, she guides them–mostly by giving Nakami advice related to photography. The school nurse who catches them in the observatory, Usako Kurashiki, becomes the Astronomy Club advisor.
A good portion of the anime is spent showing Nakami learning about photography.
If this show isn’t a gag comedy about two restless high schoolers, then what is it about, you might ask? For one, Kimi wa Houkago Insomnia is a romance–one that keeps a steady pace all the way through. In a medium where ‘anime for dudes who get no bitches and stack no paper’ is more common than one would like to admit, it’s, unfortunately, less common to see an actual romance where the build-up isn’t ramped up to the nth degree from the onset, then stopped right before it’s ‘official’, meandering until the end of the anime’s run. Watching Kimisomu isn’t ever aggravating because there isn’t any hint of it being ‘wish fulfillment’ for either gender. It also isn’t edgy for edginess’s sake. There are no cheap tricks it pulls to try to keep you interested. The plot is interesting on its own.
What makes Kimi wa Houkago Insomnia great is that the connection that forms between Nakami and Magari is one hundred percent genuine. The connection they form is wholesome, but not to the point of it being vapid and obsessed with being ‘pure’. Insomnia is a condition that is hard to explain to others–it’s shown that even teachers don’t understand that Nakami can’t just fall asleep. It’s not as simple as ‘tiring yourself out’ to the point where you’re exhausted. Nakami and Magari have a common struggle. They’re the only ones that can understand each other. There’s a tinge of sadness that lingers while watching, knowing that Nakami and Magari don’t have a solution to their problem. But at least they have each other, which is enough in their eyes–they form a friendship based on mutual understanding.
Of course, insomnia isn’t really a condition that should be desired–but Nakami and Magari take advantage of it in order to do activities. These ‘activities’ usually involve pointing a camera in the sky and taking photos of the stars. In a sense, Kimi wa Houkago Insomnia is similar to Call of the Night. Other than the fact that insomnia plays a big role in both and both have romance in them, they aren’t that alike. If I had to pick which anime I prefer, I’d say Kimisomu. Again, they aren’t that alike, so comparing the two doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.
Other than the genuine bond Nakami and Magari form, Kimisomu is worth watching because of the journey, or rather, multiple journeys, they take throughout the show. From Nakami’s solo trips out at night to nearby empty hills to sneaking out of a school camping trip, there’s never a boring episode. I’d compare it to Yuru Camp in this regard, especially since the two visit scenic areas often. Nakami and Magari even visit a tombolo, as they do in the second season of Yuru Camp. They unfortunately don’t visit the same one, however.
What makes Kimi wa Houkago Insomnia worth watching isn’t so much what is said, but what isn’t said. It’s reliant on the viewer to notice these subtleties, which in all honestly aren’t that hard to notice. Kimisomu doesn’t fall into the trap of never escaping its comfort zone, but isn’t melodramatic for no reason. The premise of the anime looks dull, but the way it expands its horizons each episode keeps it interesting until the end. It’s a worthwhile watch if you’re into romance anime.
85/100
