Insomniacs After School Live-Action Film Posts Full Trailer Featuring Theme Song

 

The official website for the forthcoming live-action film adaptation of Makoto Ojiro’s Insomniacs After School manga, known in Japan as Kimi wa Houkago Insomnia, released a 90-second full trailer today.

 

The clip features the film’s theme song “Yoake no Kimi he” (“To You at Dawn”) provided by singer-songwriter TOMOO. “I read the original manga avidly many times,” said TOMOO. “And I wrote this song with a single-minded desire not to miss the tremors of the characters’ hearts and their gestures as much as possible, and to capture their clear and sincere feelings. I think the way people receive each other’s presence and illuminate each other is like the stars. I also think that the way people’s hearts are connected to each other is like a constellation. I hope you will come to the theater and feel the soft and warm glow!”

The manga is serialized in Shogakukan’s Weekly Big Comic Spirits since 2019 and 12 tankobon volumes are released in Japan so far. A TV anime based on the series which started this April is directed by Yuki Ikeda and features animation production by Liden Films. VIZ Media releases the English version of the manga, and describes the series:

 

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 could have a place to call home!
