If you've been through the visual novel, and have loved every single moment of it (like I did), then this accompanying hard-covered book is the thing for you.
At first I wasn't expecting much from the book itself, but as soon as I took off the plastic wrap, I was greeted by a separate glossy external cover-box of the book and this was enough to make me interested into how the actual book itself was presented. Lo' and behold, as I removed the cover-box, two glossy plastic-coated sheets fell out (slightly larger than A5) - one was a poster of sorts with a picture of Riki and the heroines all on one side with the flip-side showing the attributes gained by the varied battle equipment found in the game; whilst the second poster was of the now familiar photograph of the 'Little Busters' crew, and the accompanying phrases "What 'Adolescence' do you have?", "Do you remember 'Childhood'?" and "The irreplaceable one existed there.".
The book itself was a grand masterpiece - hard-covered, white, plain and simple. Chapter 1 opens out the book with an Art Gallery of all the featured art from previous magazines and promotional posters. Chapter 2 goes into more details for each of the characters covering the CGs and background information on each of them. Chapter 3 provides the walkthrough for the plot, for all the characters and the Refrain. Chapter 4 goes into more details regarding story, mini-games and events. Chapter 5 has some staff interviews whilst Chapter 6 introduces a brand new story to the mix with a novel giving all new insight into the characters we have already seen grow throughout the gameplay. Chapter 7 ties up the rest of book by providing extras such as concept lineart and an outline of the melodies and lyrics of the featured vocal songs.
Overall, this book is a definite buy for any 'Little Busters!' fan, and will keep your appetite wheted until the release of the 18+ 'Little Busters-EX' later in the year.
