In the end, Nagisa gets Tomoya and Youhei to sign up, and she reassures them that she will not ask them to act on stage. Tomoya and Youhei try again by this time making copies of hundreds of posters and putting them all around the school, but no one joins the club. Kouko Ibuki, the teacher who had been the adviser for the drama club before it disbanded, gets involved by telling Nagisa that if she can gather more members then she will talk to the school about reforming the club. This angers Youhei greatly and he beats up one of the student council members despite Tomoyo and Kyou's warning Tomoya also takes a stand for Nagisa. Tomoya and his good friend Youhei Sunohara, who used to play soccer, help Nagisa with putting them up around the school, but the student council president, Tomoyo Sakagami, and Kyou Fujibayashi, quickly goes around using red paint to deface the posters and write 'invalid' on them because of school policy. By the time the sakura trees are done blooming, Nagisa has already started hand-making posters advertising the drama club's reformation, with an old group mascot called "The Big Dango Family". Tomoya suggests she finds something new to do at school, and she comes up with restarting the Drama Club. Nagisa is repeating her last year due to illness most of the previous year, and she does not know what to do. One day, Tomoya meets a third-year girl from his school early in the year named Nagisa Furukawa.

He simply goes to school in Hikarizara for no reason and does not have any interest in school activities.

He used to play basketball, his distant father works the night shift, and his mother died in an accident when he was a child. Tomoya Okazaki is a male third-year high school student who does not feel at home anymore.
