help Clannad FAQ
What is the main story of Clannad about?
Clannad follows Tomoya Okazaki, a disaffected high school student, after he meets Nagisa Furukawa on the way to school. Their relationship pulls him into the lives of other students and eventually into a much larger family drama.
Which studio animated Clannad?
