Episode 14 - Insomniacs After School by Makoto Ojiro

On this episode of Manga Tak, Mat is joined by Nick (aka RetroBreak) to discuss Insomniacs After School by Makoto Ojiro.

First published by Shogakukan's Weekly Big Comic Spirit, Insomniacs After School is a seinen manga by Makoto Ojiro. It's the story of Ganta Makami, an insomniac high school student who struggles socially thanks to his constant state of tiredness. 

His life changes one day when he stumbles across Isaki Magari, a fellow student and insomniac, napping in the school's abandoned (and supposedly haunted) observatory, and the two form an unlikely friendship because of their affliction.

It all goes smoothly until one day a teacher discovers they're using the observatory without permission, forcing Ganta and Isaki to restart the school's astronomy club to stay in their sleepy sanctuary. 

Join us as discuss how Nick found out about this book, how we feel about it and more importantly, would we recommend you to pick it up for yourself!
