MangaGamer informs that ef – a fairy tale of the two will be releasing on Steam. The news may surprise some after the developer shut down operations earlier in the year. However, MangaGamer remains engaged with the Minori team to localize a classic. As a result, we will be seeing ef – the first tale and ef – the latter tale releasing October 17th on Steam. For clarification, the Steam version will be All-Ages, a free 18+ patch will be provided by MangaGamer. A 15% launch day discount is confirmed for the titles.
What is ef – a fairy tale of the two about?
One Christmas Eve night, two old friends reunite in a certain church. Yuu Himura and Yuuko Amamiya haven’t seen each other in many years, and they spend this holy night recounting tales of their pasts, and the many other people whose lives they have touched which ultimately led to their reunion.
