One day, Ganta enters the observatory and meets his classmate Isaki Magari, who also suffers from insomnia and sleeps in the observation room.
Ganta feels at home at the observatory and tries to revive the disbanded astronomy club so that it can continue to be used.

Ganta is depressed and cries that everything is ruined because of him. Isaki tries to comfort him and reveals that he has a heart defect. Looking for a new activity to gain the approval of the Astronomy Club, Ganta and Isaki plan a photography trip with the aim of winning an astronomy photography contest.
