Tomoya Okazaki is a
third year high school student resentful of his life.
His mother passed away from a car accident when he was
younger, causing his father to resort to alcohol and gambling. This results in
fights between the two until Tomoya's shoulder is injured in a fight. Since
then, Tomoya has had distant relationships with his father, causing him to
become a delinquent over time. While on a walk to school, he meets a strange
girl named Nagisa Furukawa who is a year older, but is repeating due to illness.
Due to this, she is often alone as most of her friends have moved on.
The two begin hanging out and
slowly, as time goes by, Tomoya finds his life shifting in a new direction.
