| The school camp has students both excited and grumbled about it, such is the case with Kanikawa, because they are out of touch of technology for 3 whole days. Unfortunately, Nakami is trying to get a good sleep while Haida constantly disturbs him, it's disruptive. The usual camping tent and curry setup, and Day 1 of the camp is at least problem-free, if not for Haida trying to go to the girls' tents, with Hakui-sensei watching them. The days that Nakami REALLY needed a rest, he couldn't get any, and Day 2 was kinda of a disaster due to bad weather, which more or less ruined Nakami's chances to sleep, and his insomniac self is catching up in not the best way. Thus, in the night life and the weather cleared up, Nakami sneaked out into the wilderness towards the beach...to find Magari waiting for him, having their enjoyment of a time together, seeing the reflections of the sky on the sea, and shouting towards the distance with their lungs. Of course, they would not miss getting some night shots, and let it run for 2 hours while they rest. First, Magari tries the word game, which Nakami wasn't a fan of, and the latter knows that he hasn't had enough sleep, though them both cuddling up to each other feels natural, listening to each other's heartbeat and soothing the soul, eventually getting a good night's sleep. The day awakens, and both Nakami and Magari have to rush back to camp not to get busted. And within the midst, Nakami gets a picture of Magari, and ensures that his centrifugal force will not ever shake, but if it does, it's from Magari. The small hints of romance is starting to flow, though it's more of the Zzzs, but in a good and consistent way. |

| Yeah, not the best idea under the sun to try and have a good sleep in a school bus during a school trip, but i guess somehow our mc managed. More camping, but this time with a whole class involved, one would think a funny time to spent, but not for our duo, with sleeping problems seems almost as a nightmare. But as it is with all the fairy tales, all the clouds disappeared eventually and a starry sky showed its beauty :) Also, sensei need more screen presence ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°), the sporty spirited teacher too xD |
 |
| such a sweet episode Nakami and Magari had some more sweet moments together especially when the weather finally cleared up so they could take photos on the beach like they promised to do |
| Another beautiful episode, gave me cozy vibes. So cute when they were sleeping together. |
| If this episode didn’t convince you these two are inseparable soulmates and meant to be together, likely nothing will. They are just living their youth under the stars, enjoying each other’s presence to an indescribable degree. It was that snuggle moment in the manga that made them my favorite fictional couple so quickly. The author worked miracles on me, portraying such a profound yet gentle and natural intimacy between two teens that left me aching. Love as pure and innocent as this must be cherished and savored. The youthful emotions from them shouting their hearts out to the way they look at each other when shouting like it’s only just the two of them in the world, it is just wonderful. They love each other so much without even having to say it. It’s “show, not tell” at its finest, something Makoto Ojiro is a master at. To evoke intense emotions without a single line of dialogue is what makes Insomnia extremely immersive and atmospheric. You are in the moment with Ganta and Isaki, feeling their joy and energy. As they say, “a picture is worth a thousand words” and this series captures that gracefully. The moment of Ganta taking that picture of Isaki, to capture that beautiful moment in time, is breathtaking. His world is spinning too fast and she keeps him grounded. They both need each other to feel complete. It’s that moment of seizing something precious in a snapshot is what makes photography mix so well with this anime. Making memories is a theme of this series and blends so fluidly with the coming of age; to experience hardships, grow up, fall in love, and look back at these moments that they’ve made with each other… together. Look forward to this couple loving each other even more because goddamn there aren’t enough words to describe how much they mean to each other. This marks the beginning of a bird spreading its wing. Insomnia has officially transitioned into romance territory and people are about to truly see why the manga is highly praised these upcoming episodes. |

| That was a horrible group for Nakami. Anyone want to camp here? at Kyukamura Noto Chirihama These scenes are very beautiful |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| That was wonderful, by far the best episode. |
| So beautiful and i appreciated more Isaki-Ganta chemistry. Liked several scenes, great work of BGM as usual. For me biggest Revelation of the season so far |
 |
| I thought Nakami was going to snap at his classmate when he kept getting woken up on the bus, poor guy couldn't hardly get any sleep. It was nice that the night sky cleared up so that Nakami and Magari could get a night starry shot with the camera. Magari telling Nakami that she likes listening to his heart's rhythm and then putting her head on his chest it was no wonder his heart was beating faster than normal. Hopefully they won't get caught/in trouble when they return to camp. |
| This is definitely giving people anxiety on mising out (without the embellishments, of course) |
| Nice episode, particularly the backgrounds. I really wished the animation was better, but I guess they just didn't have a big budget to make this show. |
| Man, when they went to sleep next to each other in the beach I was sure they were going to get caught right then and there. Thankfully that didn't happen and it made for some really good scenery. Too bad for Nakami not being albe to sleep. At least he was able to treasure that moment. Somehow I have a bad feeling about this camp... |

Lamp1009 said: Can we give a shout-out to the real mvp of the episode: the nurse? She legit got the other teachers drunk lmfao. I hadn't noticed that, but now that you mention it makes totally sense!! |
| The school seaside camp has started, and with mixed reaction among the students, some being happy for some outdoor adventures, some grumbling about lack of technology for three whole days, oh the horrors! For Nakami, his group stinks, and with that, he couldn't sleep when he actually needed to, but under the beautiful nighttime sky, Magari waited for him, because the sky cleared up. The backgrounds this episode stood out a lot, and made up for the average animation quality for sure. The dynamic between Nakami and Magari continues to build, and the romance is there for sure, it was a sweet time. Best episode of the show so far in my opinion. |
| Probably the best episode thus far, though this is really not a show that stands out based on the content of singular episodes. |
| Hello, please don't take anything I say as an insult, it is not meant as an attack against you as a person. If I directly disagree with you, that does not mean I think you are wrong, I am just more correct. |
| Easy to say every episode of this is fucking amazing. How do you get me actually saying "oh no, oh no" to them not waking up fast enough like they were going to get caught. Please you made me wait half the episode to seem them together. Dont make it happen again i swear to god |
| I have a great sleep every time after watching Isaki and Ganta :) |
| I remember reading that part when they were peacefully sleeping under the clear night sky right next to each other and being hella anxious in the event they get busted lol. I mean that would've been such a HUGE waste if someone spotted them, might as well unintentionally.. but thank heavens something like that didn't happen, and the duo had their moment with a nice tight sleep;) Mesmerizing visuals towards the end made an already good episode even better. |
 |
| Thanks for the calming feeling that this anime is gives. Need it in my life right now. Beautiful. |
My Candies 2024:  |
| The first half of this episode brought back some not so pleasant memories lol, I have had the displeasure of being put in groups that don’t contribute to a project, leaving me to do most of the work before and this was such a perfect display of that, I felt really bad for Ganta the entire time, and it was worse for him giving his insomnia. At least we had some cuts to Isaki’s group to keep things somewhat wholesome lol. But the 2nd half man, that’s when it all turned around, some truly beautiful scenes there as Isaki and Ganta enjoyed the night on the beach. There were some parts that had me anxious that they’d get caught like when they were yelling or when they left the camera out in the open as they slept, but for the most part it was a very chill time, and romantic near the end lol. And lord that was a beauty of a moment at the very end with that sunrise over the beach paired with Isaki, that was a sky made in Heaven lol. And I want to mention I think some of the jokes didn’t translate so well in subs, especially when Isaki was trying the joke on Ganta, but it got across what type of joke it was at least. And lastly, I have some fears for these two as they head back to the camp, I’m wondering if anyone was awake and saw them leave or if anyone will catch them on the way back, it’s rough having to wait and find out lol. |
| Sometimes I feel so lonely, so empty, but then there are these series that help me feel something warm inside |
| another great, warm episode. the skies were gorgeous yet again. not gonna lie i thought they'd get waken up by one of their tent mates finding them, but im glad that wasn't the case and they were able to sleep well together. hoping they're able to make it back without getting caught. can't wait for more cozy episodes with these two. easily one of the best shows with some of the best mcs this season |
My 2023 candies:      |
| That 2nd half as a whole was ethereal. I was excited for this scene and seeing them enjoy the night together by goofing around, and getting to truly relax around each other by cuddling was wholesome and great to watch. Nakami's had a tough trip as a whole but his interactions with Magari more than made up the trip for him, good thing weather was on their side by the end. Lovely episode as a whole. Got some really nice backgrounds too. |
| Beautiful and chill episode |
 |
| well, that was a cute second half, best visuals we've seen so far in this, i think. hope they get more sleep. |
