The official website for the upcoming TV anime adaptation of Makoto Ojiro’s (Neko no Otera no Chion-san) Insomniacs after School manga (君は放課後インソムニ, Kimi wa Houkago Insomnia) has released the first key visual and promotional video.

The Insomniacs after School anime release date is in 2023, with the precise date yet to be disclosed.

The Insomniacs after School TV anime series is directed by Yūki Ikeda at Liden Films (Kanojo to Kanojo no Neko: Everything Flows), with Rintarō Ikeda (Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove It) in charge of the script and Yuki Fukuda (Plunderer) in charge of character design. Yuki Hayashi (Haikyu!!) is composing the soundtrack.

The TV anime series was first officially announced in January 2022 (although a special animation promotional video for the manga had been unveiled in October 2021). A live-action film adaptation was also announced at the time, with no updates since.
