Little Busters! Refrain
Little Busters!: RefrainSummary
Riki Naoe and his teammates have finally formed a complete baseball team for the Little Busters. When the Little Busters reunite, there's a strange sense of déjà vu, as the personal mysteries and idiosyncrasies that have permeated the game coalesce into something unexpected. As the team members fall into their roles, the pieces of the puzzle begin to fall into place. And as Riki learns the secrets behind his narcolepsy, a stunning truth about this world will be revealed, one that will change everything. Will the game continue into extra innings, or will it be called before the final player goes to bat? Riki made the team and his teammates came, but the next pitch may throw everyone in LITTLE BUSTERS! REFRAIN!
