Spoiler for Miyazawa Yukine - Story Spoilers:

=== Miyazawa Yukine - Voted by the scriptwriters as the No.1 unfortunate character ===

-- Let's talk about the creation of Miyazawa Yukine's creation process
Maede: She's probably the most unfortunate character within CLANNAD, since her script was being constantly shafted from one scriptwriter to another...

Kai: When we were at the initial character setting, we decided to make a character that everyone loves.

Maede: We really wanted to make her one of the female leads, but unfortunately we didn't meet our expectations.

-- So what was the original character setting for Yukine?
U1: Have it this way, it was a completely different setting from what it became. However Jun stole it from me before I was able to get started...

Maede: Yukine's "Holy Mary of delinquents" setting was established long ago, but the story wasn't even started. At that time, I was obsessed with the idea of "making a touching story". So, I started writing a dark story where Tomoya and Sunohara gets involved with Yukine's life, revealing a tragic tale of Yukine's past. Unfortunately I lost my drive halfway, and couldn't find a way to end the scenario. Finally I got Kai to finish of where I left off... it was a lot of trouble indeed.

Kai: However, Yukine's 'magical ritual / (curse)' scenario was really interesting wasn't it?

Maede: I found it very interesting as well. During my role as a game tester, I couldn't help but get the "Who is it this time" feeling. (LOL) Originally I wanted to increase the material in this part, but the head of game testing would complain about the lack of testing time so we gave up.
