Youth and Creation

The story begins with a conversation with a long-lost friend. Young comic creators must face both early-stage professional work and unfinished studies; Free-spirited girls seek things worth investing in; The athletic girl and the aspiring film producer each make their own choices for their goals. Once love enters their lives, the original relationships also change.

Narrative style

The game allows players to understand events from the perspectives of four main characters. The same relationship affects more than one person's life, and the characters' pursuits for the future and their feelings for others are thus intertwined. The first part, together with 'EF - The Latter Tale.', forms the main story of the EF series.

Audiovisual performances

The visuals use a large number of event images, synchronized with the characters' facial expressions and lip movements. As the camera and performance progress, the work adopts a narrative approach close to film and television narrative, rather than always maintaining fixed portraits.

International distribution

The Steam all-ages version was released on October 17, 2019, developed by minori, with the store listing MangaGamer and Sunflower Ocean as publishers. It offers Japanese dubbing as well as English and Chinese Simplified Chinese texts. This date refers to the Steam version, not the original Japanese release.

Original theme song and single packaging

The PC Part 1 theme song "Eternal Wings" was written by Nobukazu Sakai, composed and arranged by Tenmon, and performed by Hitomi Harada. It was used in a demo video produced by Makoto Shinkai, and the theme song single "Eternal Feather" was included in multiple versions, including the full length, along with messages from both the male and female characters. The single offers both male and female character packaging, with identical musical content; The retail catalog records the men's packaging released on October 27, 2006, and the women's packaging reissued on December 22, 2006.

Hiro's pen name and family

Hiro Hirono attended school and worked as a professional shoujo manga creator, using the pen name Nagi Shindou. He was a young child in his family; both his father and sister were renowned traditional artists.

Kei's knowledge conflicts with his studies

Kei Shindou knows about his childhood friend Hiro's manga work and likes his work, so he tolerates his absence. She is a key player on the first-year basketball team, but not good academically, and dislikes Miyako, who often misses classes yet still scores high.

Kyousuke's film activities

Publisher profile: Kyousuke Tsutsumi left the studio due to creative differences and still carried a camera searching for the lens. He hoped Kei would appear in his film, which troubled Kei.

What Miyako is looking for

Miyako Miyamura, who excels academically and athletically, rarely spends a full day at school. She seeks things that fill the emptiness in her heart and refuses to be constrained.

Waiting in the church

Yuuko Amamiya claims to be a passerby, waiting for someone at the church. Yuu Himura met her there, but her memory of the person she was waiting for was still uncertain.

System adjustments in English version development

MangaGamer's 2011 development log introduces two modes arranged for the upcoming English version: minori and NNL, involving fade-in/fade-out, scroll speed, and some scene operation restrictions, with the text content remaining the same. The log also records message boxes stretching from four to six lines when text overflows, and the autoplay audio is updated synchronously with the text, involving hundreds of script adjustments.

Chapter 6: Structure and Viewing Perspective

Minori organizes the entire work into four main chapters, a prologue, and a finale. Readers watching the same event alongside different characters may alter their previous understanding of the characters in another chapter; The first and second parts form separate parts, together completing a story.

Chapter One: The Bicycle Encounter

The first chapter begins with Otowa's Christmas Eve. After meeting Yuko at church, Hiro encounters Miyako chasing a bag thief; She borrowed his bicycle, and the two reunited at school. The choice between comic work and studies led to a new relationship.

The six-month interval of Chapter Two

Chapter Two shifts to summer half a year later, with the focus shifting to the injured girl and Kyosuke, who wants to make a movie. The official recounted this story; The grown-up Hiro and Yuko from the church witness it.

Window filters in English development

A 2011 MangaGamer log explains the full name of MUSICA and notes that the English 'ef' adds the window enlarged blur filter used by eden*.

Directions for revising English scripts

Translation revision of the same log records: reduced some characters' profanity, removed extra jokes added in the fan translation, and retained popular culture references from the original Japanese text.

Demo version and main story system

The official team once offered a short demo version covering the prologue and Miyako's encounter, claiming the walkthrough was less than half an hour, the system was close to the main story, and it did not include any video.

English download bundled with two physical articles

The first English download of the publisher's product record was released on July 27, 2012. On March 31, 2017, Deluxe physical merchandise also included both parts in the same package; The two are separate from the 2019 Steam All Ages Edition mentioned in the old text.
