Ya but that didn't stop Yuuya from acknowledging Mei through notes when they started ignoring Kouichi. The Note clearly stated in all incarnations of Another, "Ask Mei what's going on." They could have written it somewhere in the class notes they gave Kouichi when they visited him in the hospital. Hell they didn't even have to mention any names. They coulda written something at the end of those notes saying "Oh there's something you gotta do, don't question it, just follow our lead It's a class rule thing." He would have gotten a hint that something Mei be going on (See what I did there?)  It wouldn't have worked since Fujioka still died, but he would have been blame free if he went along, or truely be at fault for questioning their methodolgy.

Mei is at fault too, but for different reasons than the basic stuff both the class and the audience blame her for.

I lost someone very close to me myself so I know what it's like to not think straight or outright ignore what would have been Common sense. So I understand psychologically why Mei did what she did in witholding info. She was riding this thing by the seat of her pants so to speak. After losing her sister, she kept her feelings inside and let fate decide her choice and so far there have been two choices in her life during Class 3-3. Choice one was to wait for the curse to just get her already as she felt she had no reason to live. Choice two wait for something to happen. Something that would once again give her life meaning.
