Otowa, a city once razed by a devastating earthquake and the resultant fires.
A beautiful European cityscape now marks the present, as if it were from a fairy tale; almost as if to mask the memories of that calamity...

Prologue: A beginning of the story "ef - a fairy tale of the two."

The night before Christmas.
A man visited a church in Otowa.
He was to fulfill a promise made in the distant past.
A woman greeted him.
The two of them calmly talked about their bygone days.

"Each step of life would be taken together."
"That was what we thought."
"But then..."
"Our hands drifted apart, yet they arrived here through unique paths."

What happened in the time they were separated?
They were there to find out.

The girl said,

"It was during this time, one year ago.
Those doors opened, and he wandered in from the cold. It was a lone young man.
A part of him resembled you... Yes, there was a pining essence within.
That may be why I acted the way I did.
For a short time, I thought I would involve myself in his fairy tale."


Chapter 1: Otowa - Winter

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.
Upon seeing each other again at Otowa Collegiate, Miyako presented Hiro this question: "It's all too much for one person. Can't you just run away from it all?"
He will be charmed by the free-spirited Miyako, who is bound by nothing.
However, there is yet another girl with her eyes on him: Kei Shindou, whom he thinks of as a sister and a childhood friend.
This driven and confident girl, a starter of the basketball team despite her short stature, will try to show Hiro another path.

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.


Chapter 2: Otowa - Summer

Half a year after the events of the first chapter, the passage of time brings both new relationships and the birth of a new tale.

The girl who became hurt by the events at the conclusion of winter met a young man named Kyousuke Tsutsumi.
A cameraman in the film club, he was usually rather aloof, but the objective view passing through his lens didn't overlook a fairy tale that hadn't quite seen its finale.

Hiro Hirono had grown since the first chapter, and Yuuko Amamiya was still waiting.
While watching over everyone, she took it upon herself to take action once more.


The fairy tale was not yet over.

The man with eyes filled with hatred asked her:
"...Who ARE you?"

The truth is revealed in ef - a fairy tale of the two.
Another summer and winter will pass in the next part: ef - the latter tale.
Only then will the tale come to its conclusion.

Miyako Miyamura

"Whaaat? Being a copycat is so boring!"
Boasting excellence in all facets, she is attractive, has top grades, and is quite athletic. She is, however, known to those around her for being whimsical and selfish.
She hates being tied down, so skipping class and going home early is simply routine for her. Although most matters are uninteresting to her, she'll relentlessly seize anything that takes her fancy.
She's a troublemaker and sets her own terms.
Born: Sep. 8 (Virgo) 162cm/47kg/88-57-83 (5'4"/104lb/35-22-33)

Hiro Hirono

"You'll never know if you don't try."
Hiro is a full-time student, but moonlights as Nagi Shindou, a professional shoujo manga artist. He is the youngest sibling in a family where his father and sister are both renowned traditional artists.
At his core he's diligent and softhearted, but his outer personality shows otherwise. He communicates bluntly and has difficulty speaking his mind. He can also be indecisive.
He is influenced by his sister, the Shindou twins (particularly the older one), and countless others, and has poor luck with women in general.
Born: Sep. 9 (Virgo) | 165cm/52kg (5'5"/115lb)

Kei Shindou

"Oniichan? I won't get mad, so tell me."
The elder of a set of identical twins.
Very athletic. A first-year student, Kei is already a starter for the basketball team. She's determined to win, knows no fear, and is a sadist.
Due to the influence of Hiro Hirono, her "Oniichan" and friend since they were little, she's developed a sharp tongue and talks like a man when she gets worked up.
Proud and somewhat reckless, she gets embarrassed whenever she messes up. She is also not adept in romantic affairs, and has a tendency to believe in fortunes.
Born: Jun. 2 (Gemini) | 150cm/40kg/76-55-79 (4'11"/88lb/30-22-31)

Kyousuke Tsutsumi

"Nothing in it for me for helping a guy. Now if you were a girl..."
A cameraman in the film club. Aloof, and perhaps nimble in nature. Particularly so when it comes to women.
He has a keen sense of observation, possibly stemming from his diplomatic role with the club. He is devoted and meticulous regarding his surroundings, and has been involved in many relationships.
However, he is selfish when it comes to filming, and at times can be stubborn, turning the sorrow of others into material.
At present, he has a keen interest in the love triangle involving his close friend Hiro Hirono.
Born: Nov. 29 (Sagittarius) | 171cm/60kg (5'7"/132lb)

Mizuki Hayama

"Yes! Your dear Mizuki has arrived!"
An energetic girl belonging to the basketball team of Otowa Collegiate's feeder school.
Formerly Kei Shindou's junior, she is still quite a devoted fan. Mizuki has quite a few connections at Otowa Collegiate due to her relationship with Kei.
Frank and spirited. Direct and rash. Charmed by too many things, and not wary of nearly enough, she's a bit like a puppy.
Admires her "Kei-sempai" and aspires to be a "cool woman", though it's obvious from her upbringing that it's impossible.
Loves shoujo manga.
Born: Dec. 22 (Capricorn) | 156cm/44kg/80-58-82 (5'1"/97lb/31-23-32)

Yuuko Amamiya

"Oh my, oh my! Are you that interested in me?"
A woman waiting for someone at the church.
She could pass as a nun, but doesn't seem to be affiliated with the church.
Her origins are unknown, but claims she has some sort of job to perform.
Roaming Otowa's streets, she suddenly presents herself to those who interest her, leaving deep guidance and counsel in a jovial manner.
Born: Jun. 21 (Gemini) | 157cm/42kg/82-56-83 (5'2"/93lb/32-22-33)

Yuu Himura

"I was only remembering something from the past."
A man often seen about the church.
He could pass as a science teacher, but would be considered too frightening for the job.
His origins are unknown, but claims he has some sort of job to perform.
Roaming Otowa's streets, he suddenly presents himself to those who interest him, leaving deep guidance and counsel in a crusty manner.
Born: May 5 (Taurus) | 173cm/60kg (5'8"/132lb)
