Clannad is a visual novel by Key, the studio also known for Kanon and Air. It follows Tomoya Okazaki, a delinquent student who has drifted away from everything, until he meets Nagisa Furukawa at the bottom of the hill to school and helps her revive the drama club.
What starts as a school story becomes something much bigger, especially in After Story, which follows Tomoya into adulthood and is famous for making players cry. Sekai Project released the official English version on Steam in 2015 with full voice acting.
