Another (Another (Manga))

Product Information

Another friend of Izumi, a quiet young woman who gets specially affected and broken by the Calamity. Human Pincushion: In the anime, a lightning strike causes several shards of broken glass to impale her, fatally injuring her. As for the anime version, it makes me even angrier that they took something as mysterious and as good as this and turned into yet another gore fest. This had a lot more charm and a lot more sadness than what the anime showed. There were a lot of funny moments in the manga sure (after all, while it’s understandable it’d be hard to cope in that situation, you really gotta try to at least live a little) but it didn’t derail the story as some others tend to.

Pet the Dog: After Mr. Kubodera commits suicide, she approaches Kouichi because she's concerned about his well being. Although she warns him that some of their other classmates will blame him for the chain of events, she personally doesn't believe he was a factor in it. Jerkass to One: She isn't exactly a nice person to begin with, but she's very harsh and hostile towards Mei. Oracular Urchin: She knows about pretty much everything that's going on, yet she only gives Kouichi very vague hints and warnings that don't really help him to understand the situation of class 3-3. The Glasses Gotta Go: In the anime, she takes off her glasses when she's working as a teacher. In the manga, this is inverted and she only wears her glasses when she's a teacher instead.

Kouichi's Relatives

One and a half year before the calamity began, Mei witnessed an unknown assailant killing a young woman from across the river, which she still remembers prior to the story. In Episode 9, he broke the tape that was supposed to help them stop the curse. Subverted since they were able to fix it later and hear it in full. tiên, tất cả truyện tranh trong trang TruyenCapNhat.com đều Miễn phí, có hình ảnh rõ nét, chất lượng cao, tốc độ load

You Are in Command Now: She's forced to take over as homeroom teacher after Mr. Kubodera commits suicide. Hero of Another Story: It's stated that he stopped the Calamity in his mid-year. By killing the extra student. First-Name Basis: With Misaki, Mei's twin. This is important later. She also calls Izumi by her first name.

Ending Theme

Un-person: His classmates decide to pretend that he doesn't exist just like they do with Mei once people begin to die. It doesn't stop the curse. Exact Words: She said she wouldn't kill Kouichi, but it doesn't stop her from beating and cutting him. Unfortunately, Another just happens to fall way outside my definition of horror, and seems to fit very nicely within comedy. The name Mei means "to cry","to sing" and "to scream." It is also the name of a Japanese ornamental tree with fragrant white or pink blossoms and small yellow fruits. Ax-Crazy: In the anime climax, she snaps when she's convinced that Mei is the extra and tries to kill her.

Two Aliases, One Character: The anime and manga mislead the audience into thinking Reiko and the assistant teacher are different characters, until the climax where Kouichi finds out she's the extra. The styles are very different. While in the manga the characters design is soft and clean, in the anime the chief animation director based the character design used in the anime on Noizi Ito's original concept. But in Episode 5, it is revealed that Mei really exists when Kouichi finds the class roster along with a sheet of paper written "Ask Mei Misaki about it" in it. Kouichi visits the doll store once again and Mei takes him up to her apartment through an elevator hidden behind a curtain. She asked Kouichi if he suspected her of being a ghost. Mei assures him she is alive and is positive she has not died. Since, "it" has started again, Mei tells him everything about the class curse, unknown reasons of the deaths, and the prevention measures of the class. Kouichi and Mei's relationship continues to develop to the point that he frequently comes to Mei's apartment and on one such occasion, he meets Kirika, Mei's mom, who she says only treats her like the other dolls in her house. Ascended Extra: She's a very minor character in the original novel, but is given a larger role in the manga and anime.

She dies in Episode 1 from the 9th gradC class 3-3 curse, being "the death of April", the first one who died because of the curse. Mei was delivering a present at the Yomiyama Hospital's morgue, a doll, Mei referred to her as "her other half" during her first meeting with Kouichi Sakakibara and later as her twin sister. Mei first meets Kouichi Sakakibara in the hospital's elevator and tells him that she's going to the morgue since her lesser "other half" is waiting for her. She is later seen on the school roof sketching. Kouichi asks many questions and Mei implies that she hates being questioned. She is seen talking with him many times. Head of the countermeasures against the curse, Izumi has a lot of responsibility on her shoulders. Distant, icy, but ultimately concerned for the fate of her classmates, Izumi introduces the countermeasures to protect the class from death. Becomes close to Kouichi, convinced they met somewhere before. Kazuma Akazawa - Akazawa's older brother. He was mentally unstable and committed suicide in the manga.
