Character concept works & information

Opening Information

I think this is one of the most interesting parts of the book. The text that appears in the openings of ef memo & melo are fully listed here. Basically, the text from the memo opening is the English version of Chihiro’s book. The German text from the melo OP is a translation of the lyrics of “Yuukyuu no Tsubasa” the opening song of “ef - the first tale.”. What they did thar. I love it.

Various Artworks from DVD covers, posters etc.

The book is divided into character chapters just like the game. And here is the reason why that thing is 500 pages strong; Almost every Event-CG has been printed on paper in this book. I think this is only interesting to hardcore fans.

You find this at the start of every chapter.

And last but not least, the great slipcover
