Minori (みのり?) is a Japanese visual novel company (previously the software division of CoMixWave until April 2007) which created the games Bittersweet Fools, Wind: A Breath of Heart, Haru no Ashioto and Angel Type. Their latest game as of 2007 is Ef: A Fairy Tale of the Two.. Their most successful game is Wind, which has had a manga, TV animation series, and original video animation based on it, and has been ported to the PlayStation 2 and Dreamcast. They use Musica as their main engine. Quite a few of their games' opening movies are animated by Makoto Shinkai. Their name is said to be derived from their own catch phrase, "We always keep minority spirit" (pronunciation is different, though).
