Canon Immigrant: Emi Izumi, the president of Otowa Academy's film club and Kyousuke's ex-girlfriend, was added for both the anime and manga adaptations.The Visual Novel does not introduce the idea of some surgery that may save Shuuichi nor does Chihiro get over her memory issues. Broken Aesop: The aesop of needing to cope with your problems instead of hoping they just go away is broken in the anime with Chihiro and Shuuichi.Boys' Love Genre: Mizuki accuses Kyosuke and Hirono to be lovers.Bookends: The show starts and ends with Renji describing his first encounter with Chihiro."Blind Idiot" Translation: "I wish I could see your insides." Not technically ungrammatical just sounds unfortunately gruesome due to different languages/cultures having different idioms and word connotations.No sex shown, although ef was originally an eroge. Bleached Underpants: The anime & manga version.but they do get to meet again and the immortality of the soul is confirmed. Every ending is slightly more bitter than the last up until the final ending to the story, which ends with Yuuko dead and Yuu alone. Hiro's tendonitis will just get worse, Kei still isn't over Hiro, Chihiro's memory problems aren't going to magically vanish because of The Power of Love and Kuze is still dying. Most of the kissing scenes turn the Scenery Porn Up to Eleven. The Big Damn Kiss: Provides the trope's picture.The Bet: Kyosuke runs one on the subject of Hiro's love triangle, even including a Gay Option.She's disappointed that he didn't and asks if he thinks she's ugly or something. Aren't You Going To Ravish Me?: Miyako automatically assumes that the then-stranger Hiro felt her up while she was laying unconscious after an accident, as if it would be the most natural thing.

Chihiro wasn't a main heroine until the second half.

Anime of the Game: The original game, ef: A Fairy Tale of the Two, devotes an entire chapter to each of the five love stories, and the game's setup is considerably different, with the first half devoted to Miyako and Kei.This is probably the overarching theme of the story as a whole: Hiro's tendonitis, Miyako's abandonment issues, Chihiro's memory problems and more. Things go wrong in life and there's nothing you can do about them, but it's not the end of the world and you can still move on from there.
