Little Busters! English Edition
About
Story
Riki Naoe lost his parents as a child, and fell deep into despair.
He was saved by a group of kids who called themselves the Little Busters: Kyousuke Natsume, Masato Inohara, Kengo Miyazawa, and Rin Natsume.
They took him and played at being heroes who fought tireless evil around them.
Riki discovered endless joy in spending time with his new friends, even though the group was silly and their missions tended to end in failure.
Over time, it washed away his loneliness and suffering.
Years later, the whole gang was attending the same school, and Riki became a second-year.
They were still as silly as ever and spent their youth following Kyousuke's silly ideas.

Cult Visual Novel If you like the genre almost obligatory reading I Always Remember q the first time I read it Kept leaving Resagad in favor of others who was reading in his time because he considered it started very slow (before reaching the Routes) is quite with Had I am glad to have spent the time to finish the routes are incredibly (Haruka in particular) and once you finish the 6 heroines main is unlocked so call it the true path of the game "Refrain" and there my advice is that you get many handkerchiefs you're going to Mourn as a bus Are warned

23rd in my top 50 Visual novel (for more than 150 finished visual novels).
+ The secret of the world... I cried:(+ Natsume Kyousuke, real star of this VN.
+ A beautiful Ode to friendship.
+ Two of the three bonus routes (Sasami and especially Saya) bring a real plus.
+ The evolutions (stats in particular) of Rin and Riki are interesting.
+ The music of the introductory video is sublime.
+-The mini-games are interesting and original but quickly become repetitive.
+-The rest of the cast may not be as strong as in other key VNs.
-The road to Futaki Kanata is really disappointing.
-Official English version censored (I'm not talking about adult scenes).

It Was One of my first visual novels many years ago and today is still my favorite being that I have been recommending to every person I know since the law. It'S Also the reason I started studying Japanese.
Do Not get carried away by the first hours of presentation of the characters and think that everything revolves around the protagonist flirting with one girl or another, the main theme is friendship and personal growth being that the most advisable is to approach all the heroines CA Once you play to try all the options that each one comes to offer and not stay alone with the ones you chose when you were deliberately for that heroine. Do Not think that it is a pure comedy novel because parts that you find funny when you read it for the first time can make you cry if you read it again after completing the novel.

At the time I saw the anime there was. Several years later, (too many because it is a very dense novel) I decided to start seeing Gameplays and finally decided to buy and play it.
I will Take approximately 6 hours of play (I skipped what I saw in his time of gameplays) and the truth is that I can not be more happy. The game is long and more than 50 hours you will take them quietly. The Mini-games are very entertaining and the girls are pure love. Removing that there are many decisions that are not necessarily necessary to get into one route or another so it feels more realistic.
But if something I have to highlight is certainly the story that has Little Busters and the relationships that are formed. Besides that here we bring the other three girls of EX I've always wanted to play.
So, every fan of novels is definitely essential material. And nothing. To cry again: ')
