CLANNAD

我们一起迈开了脚步…

在这长长的…长长的坡道上…

家族……被我拒绝的地方： CLANNAD的男主角——冈崎朋也，是一个拒绝与家人交流、不愿留在家里的人。在他幼年时，母亲因故去世……父亲因此整日借酒消愁，原本应该相依为命的两人，却因为不愿去理解对方的痛苦而互相疏远，生活渐渐颓废下来。最终在他初中时，因为一次家庭暴力，而使得父子俩的关系落到了谷底。从此以后，朋也与父亲行同陌路，两人的关系似乎只能在血缘和法律上得以维持。他每天去上学，但无论是上课还是课余都只是魂不守舍地发呆，终日得过且过地继续着学生生涯。他不参加任何社团活动，也没有深交的朋友，连唯一能和他亲密说话、每晚“收留”他的“朋友”——春原阳平，也无法触及到他心中冰冻的部分……互不干涉对方深藏的心底的痛苦，这是保证他们两人能继续同来同往的底线。岁月无情地流逝，那在朋也身边仿佛停滞了的时间，也即将迎来终结……就在那长长的坡道之下。

Tomoya Okazaki is a delinquent who finds life dull and believes he'll never amount to anything. Along with his friend Youhei Sunohara, he skips school and plans to waste his high school days away.

One day while walking to school, Tomoya passes a young girl muttering quietly to herself. Without warning she exclaims "Anpan!" (a popular Japanese food) which catches Tomoya's attention. He soon discovers the girl's name is Nagisa Furukawa and that she exclaims things she likes in order to motivate herself. Nagisa claims they are now friends, but Tomoya walks away passing the encounter off as nothing.

However, Tomoya finds he is noticing Nagisa more and more around school. Eventually he concedes and befriends her. Tomoya learns Nagisa has been held back a year due to a severe illness and that her dream is to revive the school's drama club. Claiming he has nothing better to do, he decides to help her achieve this goal along with the help of four other girls.

As Tomoya spends more time with the girls, he learns more about them and their problems. As he attempts to help each girl overcome her respective obstacle, he begins to realize life isn't as dull as he once thought.
