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.

Characters

RIKI NAOE


Ordinary Boy with an Extraordinarily Lively Youth

KENGO MIYAZAWA


Masato's Strongest Rival

Easygoing Noisy Girl

Weight: 37kg
Measurements: 69, 51, 72

Exotic (Self-Proclaimed) Mascot

Height: 170cm
Weight: 55kg
Measurements: 90, 60, 89
