Hiro Hirono is not only a full-time student, but also a professional shoujo manga artist. On the night of Christmas Eve, he happened upon two women. The first, Yuuko Amamiya, was a mysterious lady who continued to wait for someone at the church. The other, Miyako Miyamura, was a girl who had her purse stolen and snatched Hiro's bicycle to pursue the culprit.

This winter, Hiro will waver between his artistic dreams and the reality of school. He will be charmed by the free-spirited Miyako, who is bound by nothing.

These students will coalesce within this idyllic school life. Their relationships will be taken a step further, yet what has tied them together is about to become hopelessly tangled.

The choice between dreams and reality... His heart torn between two girls... Hiro must find a single solution for these two conflicts.

ef is a visual novel by minori featuring avant-garde cinematic techniques and a peaceful, sentimental story which has met critical acclaim.

Renji Asou: A young man who, due to parental circumstances, has moved overseas repeatedly, and has never experienced any close friendships. One winter day he met a girl all alone in an uninhabited train station. She was looking up at the sky, her left eye covered by an eyepatch: Chihiro Shindou. That was a turning point in fate for Renji, who had always been searching for a "fairy tale" like meeting.

Although they both were shy around strangers, Chihiro mustered her courage and said to Renji: "Would you be friends with me?" The two of them become closer through their common pastime of novels. But they move forward in different directions entirely. Despite her unique handicap, Chihiro wishes to try and create a story of her own. Renji, who only ever admired stories, wavers at the sight.

The two of them establish an emotional bond over the course of their guileless everyday lives. However, the omnipresent existence known as time eventually digs a trench between them. As Renji suffers for Chihiro's sake, Yuu Himura tells him:

"I probably know the answer to what you want to know."
"But I don't know if it's the right thing to do or not."
"My answer is simply an answer. You have to understand that."

He tells him the reality needed to grant his dream.
The courage needed to stand at the starting line.
And so, the conclusion to their "fairy tale" took a massive turn.

One hot, midsummer's day, Shun Nanami's sister, Shirone Nanami, drowned at sea. It's a memory he will never forget; one that will forever be etched into his heart. He vows to live in her stead from then on and to make up for the life she never got to have.

Time passes and Shun currently spends his days attending school like any other student. Yet another sultry summer bears down upon him, reminding him of the sibling he had lost all those years ago...

However, that summer was different. Shun hears a piano's melody far off in the distance--a tune Shirone always adored. He follows the sound to its source, only to find... his sister, Shirone.

"Please take care of me from now on, Onii-chan."

The being that stood before him was not of his own flesh and blood, but an android who looked exactly like her. Her name was...

"TRINO."

About Minori

"We always keep minority spirit."

This short, yet remarkable line best describes who minori are.
Today, you could find all sorts of titles when you visit a video game store.

And when you pick a game up, what uniqueness does it hold from others?
Have you ever thought that you've seen the game before, using the same forumula and storyline?

That is why we wanted to create something original, that we can enjoy ourselves.

The "major" mainstream games are of course fun, and made in a way so it can be enjoyed by everyone.
However, we believe that a "minority" that is a bit different from those games can also co-exist.

Even if it might still be a minority, there must be those who can enjoy our games together.

Following this ideal, we have created the game developer, "minori."
Even if it might not fit in the existing formula, and even if we don't rely on impressive decorations,
we at minori will strive to create a game that will provide a lasting impression on our fans.
