Riki Naoe has been quietly dreading the day his group of childhood friends drifts apart, and when their leader Kyousuke Natsume starts job-hunting, Kyousuke answers by declaring that they are forming a baseball team called the Little Busters. Filling out the roster means recruiting new members from around their school, and the friendships that grow around the team turn out to be the point of the whole exercise. This manga is the official comic adaptation of the Little Busters! TV anime, and the story continues in its sequel, Last of Refrain.
