I do love a good high school romance, but I really enjoy a great one. This one is the latter, clearly, but it absolutely comes down to how messy these kids are allowed to be some times.
This volume kind of stuffs its major plot, such as it is, into the back chapters. The rest is mostly slice of life, with a flashback and a bunch of goofing off. It’s almost cozy and I think this handles the sick girl trope way better than a lot of stories.
It has such a great eye for framing its pages too. I loved the chapter where parts are presented as excerpts from a scrapbook and, while the flashback chapter is a little confusing, it has a great full spread of the astronomy club at the end.
One of the biggest plots this time is the astronomy club and their apparent inability to get new members. This serves as an exploration of Yui (the arcade manager)’s backstory and her estrangement from her family. It’s both sad and enjoyable in equal measure.
There’s also the ongoing issue of Ganta trying to have the slightest bit of optimism about anything. I have to say that the way this plays out is all rather sweet and affirming. He’s the classic character who gets stuck in his own bad thoughts way too much and no I don’t relate, why do you ask?
The back part of the book is where real life and high school life start crashing into one another. Ganta’s big plan is to become a nurse so he can take care of Magari, but he gets dressed down by his teacher for not thinking this through. Which he isn’t; he’s a kid.
We also see a couple times this volume that Ganta’s father is far from reliable and it’s no wonder the poor kid has no confidence in himself with so little guidance. Ganta’s got a goal, but it seems like his real passion is elsewhere and he’s doing this just for Magari. Sweet, but not entirely reasonable.
I love Magari’s perspective on things and it comes back to give Ganta some real insight on, well, life. As she points out, nobody knows when she might die. And nobody knows when he will either. Her blunt words that if he begins to see her as a burden they’re done are the perfect antidote to Ganta’s ideas. She has such a great outlook on her limitations and what she wants from life.
Which is all a little heavy, but it’s surrounded by this delightful examination of youth and young love. There’s not just the inherent depression of chronic illness, it focuses on living a life despite that and living it well. There are so many joyous moments to be found here.
This is probably too sedate for some people. It lumbers along at its own pace and is often just doing its thing, which is being laid back and then also doing some dramatic punching to the reader. For me, who loves seeing these two together, it’s always pure reading pleasure.
4.5 stars - rounded up because I’d watch these two eat soup and enjoy every minute of it.

Purtroppo la sta tirando per le lunghe... spero di non dover acquistare tanti altri numeri senza qualche avanzamento nella trama. Carino e tutto il resto, però dai.

It's still a great story. And character progression in this was a blast. Just it lacked the highlights that other chapters had.
What it did have was a punch in the gut with the:"noone ever lived past 50".

A great volume. The past few have been somewhat slow and wandering, which is nice every once in a while, but the story seemed like it had gotten stuck. In this volume, Ojiro seems to find her footing, moving forward while still keeping a gentle pace. A lot more happens, and these poor kids keep going. I love how realistic this series is. There's none of the wacky or zany (which I do like elsewhere) and no idealization. These are two kids who don't solve a problem just because the issue is coming to an end.

Volume leggermente più interessante del precedente. Con l'inizio del secondo anno, vediamo che il club di astronomia inizia ad accogliere qualche nuovo studente (tutti peraltro molto determinati ed entusiasti). E poi viene posto l'accento sui progetti futuri di Ganta, deciso a frequentare una scuola per infermieri in modo da poter aiutare Magari in caso di necessità - un percorso che non convince la referente di classe, anche se il ragazzo può contare sul supporto dei genitori (madre compresa). Si tratta di un percorso non facile, sotto molti punti di vista: non solo per quanto riguarda l'ambito accademico e professionale, ma anche perché la malattia di Magari la costringerà a ricoveri frequenti, ad analisi continue, a dover rinunciare a molte esperienze. Ergo, non sarà una passeggiata di salute, ma il ragazzo, almeno per ora, mi sembra convinto.
Mancano tre volumi alla fine...diciamo che l'entusiasmo iniziale che mi aveva suscitato questa serie è andato un po' a scemare volume dopo volume. Forse il genere slice of life non fa molto per me 🤔 mi sembra sempre che non succeda niente di che, ecco (ed effettivamente non è che la vita di tutti i giorni sia piena di colpi di scena, ne sono consapevole). La lettura rimane piacevole, ma non mi sento più particolarmente coinvolta. Siccome manca poco alla fine, mi scoccia mollare proprio adesso, però dubito che questa serie entrerà mai nella mia lista dei preferiti e la cosa un po' mi dispiace.

Insomniaques, c’est vraiment une lecture douce et doudou qui, sans que tu t’en rendes compte, vient d’un coup t’assener une grande claque dans le dos et te faire basculer. Magnifique !
Je suis une fan de la première heure de l’ambiance tellement douce et chaleureuse d’Insomniaques où on n’a qu’une envie, c’est de rejoindre les personnages et de revivre cette adolescence avec eux. Il faut dire que Makoto Ojiro déploie un charme certain pour mettre en scène de petits instants du quotidien qui semblent banals mais qu’il magnifie sous son trait, sous l’angle de sa prise de vue, sous l’intention qu’il cherche et parvient à lui donner. Ça me frappe à chaque fois et je me sens bercer par ses images, comme dans le chapitres d’ouverture ici, où un peu plus loin lorsque les héros font exploser leur adolescence lors de balades a priori sans conséquences, quoique.
Et c’est là tout son talent, derrière cette bluette lycéenne fort réussie où on parle de premier amour, d’activité de club, de nouvelles rencontres, il y a aussi des sujets plus riches, plus profonds, plus concrets, comme l’avenir. Et ici avec la maladie dont Isaki souffre depuis toujours cela revêt une nuance bien à part, ce que nous confie déjà la couverture de ce tome où on les voit joyeusement avancer vers le futur, Isaki devant, Ganta suivant. Et l’auteur de nous montrer combien un choix de vie peut se faire de manière un peu légère à l’adolescence mais avec le poids d’une telle destinée, ce n’est peut-être pas si léger chez Ganta. Il veut être là pour Isaki mais peut-être est-ce aussi sa manière de montrer son profond altruisme, après tout, il est resté et s’occupe de son père aussi. Ça semble bien ancré en lui.
Les discussions sont donc plus profondes que celles d’adolescents normaux et pourtant on n’oublie jamais leur âge. L’auteur est vraiment doué pour cela. Il associe à la fois le poids de cette maladie, de son avancée, de ce qu’elle pourrait être plus tard, et la légèreté de l’adolescent en train de se construire et de rêver. Le club d’astronomie devient en ce sens presque le miroir de leur relation et leur évolution : simple, chaleureux et sans prise de tête au premier abord, mais plus complexe désormais qu’ils se sont ouverts aux autres. Quel talent chez l’auteur.
Entre instantanés de la vie de lycéens et réflexions profondes sur un avenir à deux avec une personne malade, Insomniaques parvient cependant à trouver son équilibre dans la joie de vivre, la chaleur humaine et la gaîté. C’est un titre qui donne toujours le sourire et qui réchauffe le coeur, même lorsque nos héros sont confrontés à des choix difficiles à mettre en oeuvre. On les aime, on les soutient et on les accompagne.

This volume touches on the idea of graduating for what feels like the first time in the series. For all Magari's medical issues, we've never really looked at what happens at or after graduation. It was a jarring conversation because so much of this series exists inside of small, quiet moments and this really stuck out. It was very natural now that they are no longer the youngest class, but I didn't anticipate it and found myself really considering what it meant. I like that there are still surprises in this series and there are still things at stake. It felt earned and really influenced the rest of this volume. I'm looking forward to seeing how this is handled in subsequent volumes and how the relationships around them continue to evolve.

I am always fascinated by panels that require few words to describe what is happening. Feelings of self-doubt surface for Ganta, but he shows maturity in the choices he makes for his future, centered on his Isaki. In contrast, the girl, always cheerful and witty, also shows maturity and insight, explaining to Ganta that she does not want to be a burden to him. A gentle reading with a veil of melancholy.

I like this series but I wish there were more words!!! There’s a lot of art… yes, it’s very nice art but I’m having a hard time connecting to the characters. I think it’s because there isn’t enough “talking”. Idk but I do care enough to finish the story so I will. Just not sure if I will ever reread…

Il nuovo anno scolastico ha inizio e così il club necessita di avere nuovi iscritti ed ecco che sembra il passato tornare a bussare ma Magari non permette che il suo ragazzo ritorni ad isolarsi come al primo anno. Nuovi personaggi e nuove situazione si fanno largo fra le pagine...

Peccato che la trama proceda così lentamente, è più uno sguardo sulla vita di tutti i giorni di questi adolescenti. Però aleggia sempre questa ansia per la condizione di Magari, e le ultime pagine di ogni volume sono sempre tanto emozionanti. Realistiche, profonde. Bello.

El Nakami vol ser infermer i es planteja opcions per estar a prop de la Isaki, però tenen una conversa molt madura sobre el seu futur ❤️ seguim amb ritme assossegat i poca acció, però ben real.

This is such slow heartbreak, but I don’t think I’ll ever not be obsessed with this series. The art is beautiful and the bittersweet tones have me addicted.

The ending was so sweet. I feel a sad human ending coming for the series and I hope I'm wrong.
