Class 3-3

Class 3-3 (9th Grade, Class 3) is one of the classes at Yomiyama North Middle School. It is one of the primary settings of Another.

History
In class 3-3 during the year 1972, there was a student named Misaki Yomiyama. He was a charming student, good looking and excelled in both academics and sports. All the teachers and students admired him. Half way through the school year, he died in an accident (there are many theories about this, some saying he died in a plane crash and others saying because of a house fire). Unable to accept his death, his classmates decided to continue acting as if he was still alive (talking with his desk, pretending to go home with him, etc). Even at graduation, the principal arranged to have Misaki's seat included in the ceremony. After graduation they took a picture of the class and found Misaki included, with a pale face but smiling like everyone else. After that incident, the class had grown closer to death itself.

The "calamity" of Class 3-3
The calamity started in 1973, a year after when the class found out about having an extra student and were one desk short. At first they thought it was just an error and ignored it, but six students and ten of their family members died during that school year. Soon enough, they found out that there is a dead student in the class. The 'dead one' (also referred to as the "Extra '' ) is a student or faculty member connected to class 3-3 who died and they somehow have been resurrected and were placed in the class once again. All the memories of the people around the dead person are altered, so the other students think that he/she is still alive. The dead person also doesn't realize that they're actually dead, and they don't remember the original way they had died. Because of the unnatural presence of this dead person, at least one student from class 3-3 or one of their family members die each month. The students of class 3-3 have tried many ways to prevent the calamity, including changing the class name from class 3-3 to 3-C, but nothing was successful. However, one method was eventually discovered by class 3-3's countermeasures; they could prevent the calamity for at least that particular school year by treating a student in the class as if he/she doesn't exist, in order to make up for the presence of the dead person.

In 1998, the class chose to treat Mei Misaki as if she didn't exist, but the new transferred student Kouichi Sakakibara doesn't know about the class curse and acknowledges her. This happened during May of the school year. Because of Kouichi's actions, two students and three family members died due to the calamity. After that, the class treated both Mei and Kouichi as they don't exist. However, this only has a 50 percent chance of success. But the initial non-existent student has to be chosen before the calamity begins for that particular school year, and it turned out that Mei was chosen too late. It was unknown to the class that someone (Misaki Fujioka, Mei's biological twin sister) already died in April.

The real way to stop the calamity permanently, or at least until the next school year, is to 'send the dead back to death'. As soon as the dead person dies, she/he will disappear and be forgotten by everyone. The ones personally involved with the dead persons second death will remember them for a while, but even they will eventually forget about the incident.
