Plot
The Story Takes place in a large high school based in. It is the best high school in supplying the best students. Throughout the story we get glimpses into an Illusionary World Where nothing but a young girl lives, she later makes a body out of junk pieces through which the player can interact with her. The remaining half of the story takes place in the same city, after the conclusion of the first half.. The story mainly revolves round the idea of family and hence the name Clannad which in Irish means family. All of the main characters have no or little family in which to bond with and yet their families play large parts in the story. It is not hard to see where the strong mythology come from if you examine the game closely. It has a strong Celtic ideal mixed with in a Japanesse back round. Very refreshing game and mangas.
