Little Busters!

The leader of the "Little Busters," Kyousuke, returns to school after a job hunting break and calls the old gang together. He suggests that they all do something that they can only do now, while they're young - and that something is playing baseball. Now all Kyousuke, Riki, Masato, Kengo, and Rin need to do is find enough new members to make a complete baseball team...

Riki meets the cheerful, easygoing Komari on a visit to the school rooftop, and decides to invite her to join the Little Busters. Meanwhile, one of the cats Rin is taking care of strolls along with a mysterious note tied to its tail...

Riki is called out for tea and a chat by Kurugaya Yuiko, a mysterious girl who rarely shows up to class. He invites her to join the Little Busters, but when she meets the team's resident musclebrain, Masato, sparks instantly fly.

On the school roof, Riki catches Komari whispering something about an older brother in her sleep. But when she wakes up, she tells him that she's an only child and her brother only appears to her in dreams, where he reads her a sad story from a picture book only to fade away when she awakens...

When Komari's normally cheerful smiles begin to look sad and lonely, Riki decides to cheer her up by searching for her older brother... but does he really exist? The next day, the two of them pay a visit to Komari's hometown in hopes of recovering her lost memories.

Komari has finally recovered her memories of her older brother - and it has left her in a tragic state of confusion. With the support of the Little Busters, Riki sets out to bring Komari's cheerful smile back.

Following the loss of their first baseball game, the Little Busters have a pancake party. While returning from the party, Yuiko overhears some girls badmouthing her, claiming that they will pay her back for being humiliated in the past.

After waking up, Riki learns from Yuiko that she was taking care of him while he was asleep and cannot shake the suspicion that the whole situation has happened with them in the past. Some time later, Kyousuke and the other boys point out that Riki is behaving strangely since his last encounter with Yuiko.

The day of June 20 keeps repeating without anyone taking heed of it, except for Riki himself, and no one else seems to find it strange even when it starts snowing. Riki decides to look for Kyousuke to ask for his advice but he is nowhere to be found.

While thinking about what Yuiko said to him, Riki is approached by a girl who confesses her feelings for him, but claims that she knows he already likes someone else and flees. Wondering what she meant, Rin's image come to Riki's mind.

Members of the Prefectural Assembly are expected to make an inspection of the school and realizing that it is part of the "final task" Riki and Rin volunteer themselves to guide them around. Despite Rin's shy demeanor, she manages to guide the visitors properly and they later invite her to take part in a student exchange program to help the students of another school overcome a tragedy that claimed the lives of some of their classmates.

After Riki and the others watch Rin leave the school without a word, Riki is then left with the impression that Kyousuke sent her away and that he is trying to break apart the Little Busters. Riki continues getting text messages from Rin saying that she does not know what to do at the school, and he all he can do is tell her to 'hang in there'.
