Shizune-chan wa Kyou mo Nemurenai

Shizune is a junior high school student whose nights are consumed by relentless insomnia. Her inability to sleep stems from a combination of her naturally pessimistic outlook and the overwhelming stress of adapting to life at an unfamiliar new school. Desperate for even a few hours of rest, she purchases a body pillow in the hope that it might finally bring her some comfort during the long, restless nights. However, her purchase proves to be far more extraordinary than she ever anticipated. For reasons entirely beyond her understanding, the pillow mysteriously develops a consciousness of its own, eventually transforming into the shape of a young girl. Rather than simply serving as bedding, this unexpected companion takes on the role of a devoted caretaker, gently looking after Shizune and tending to her emotional needs through the darkest hours of the night. Brought to life by newcomer artist Itsumi, this deeply soothing midnight tale offers readers an abundance of comfort and warmth. Through a delicate artistic touch and a steady undercurrent of lighthearted humor, the story unfolds as a profoundly healing experience designed to ease the mind just as effectively as it entertains.
