Clannad Manga Vol. 1

Tomoya Okazaki is a third-year high school student who has drifted through school with a sullen attitude and few friends. One day he meets Nagisa Furukawa, a shy girl trying to revive the school's nearly abandoned drama club. Her quiet persistence pulls him into the club's small and awkward world of rehearsals and makes him reconsider what he wants from school. As the two grow closer, Tomoya also meets classmates and teachers who carry their own worries, and this first volume follows those early friendships and the first hints of affection between them. The tone is warm and gentle, with a steady focus on everyday moments and the people who make them meaningful.
