Although I wonder a bit whether I would have liked Yui so much if it hadn't been for those first two episodes. She came across rather harshly at the end of episode three. (Though if you look back at Yuuya's behaviour in that episode he gave her plenty of good reasons not to be satisfied with him.)
- I think someone actually posted a transcript of an interview with Nakahara some pages back? She did say that those two episodes are what gave Yui her depth--without it being shown first you'd have a lot more difficulty relating to Yui or even liking her.
