Comments
(Devil Doll, 2004-01-17 - contains spoilers, though I try to not be too explicit):
Two of the five important girls have entered the stage: Nayuki and Tsukimiya Ayu (the "Ugu").
Things aren't going too well for Nayuki right from the start: She is two hours late at the train station, she failed to impress Yuuichi by trying to carry his bag, and then Yuuichi doesn't stay where he promised to be when they were shopping...
Yuuichi has lost all his memories about what happened seven years ago, yet some of them start to return already, shown through flashbacks that Yuuichi has when he is doing and saying the exact same things as back then. This will become crucial for this series.
And we have actually seen many more important scenes than one can understand unless having watched episode 13...

Yuiichi's line of the day: "A reunion after seven years, and all I get is a can of coffee?"
