Mei Misaki

Mei Misaki is one of the main protagonists of Another. She is labeled by her classmates as "the one that does not exist." She meets Kouichi Sakakibara in the hospital, and she has both a red right eye and a green left eye.

Personality
She has a very quiet and mysterious personality. At first she tells Kouichi to stay away from her, but as time goes on, she grows used to him and doesn't seem to mind having him around. She also tells him to be careful, since 'it' may have started already, showing she may care a little bit about him. She seems to like to draw.

She also has a childish side, as can be seen in episode 8 of the anime , where she spends sometime building a sandcastle and got scared of an octopus stuck to her arm because she thought "that it was going to eat me".

Appearance
Mei is an isolated girl in Yomiyama North Middle School's 9th Grade Class-3. She has a short, almost bob hair cut and fair complexion. Her left eye is covered by an eye patch. Although in the anime her left eye is shown as green, it was originally blue in the novel/manga.

In episode 3, it is revealed that her left eye is actually an artificial eye, and she says that she keeps it hidden since she can see things with it that "aren't supposed to be seen."

In episode 6, the mystery behind her green eye is finally revealed. She mentions to Kouichi that she had a disease when she was about 4 years old and it was so severe that she lost her left eye. Her made her a new eye of green color saying that the same shade would be boring. The reason she uses an eyepatch is that she dislikes that dual shade and hence decided to hide it.

Plot
She first meets Kouichi in the hospital's elevator and tells him that she's going to the morgue since her poor "other self" is waiting for her. She is later seen on the school roof sketching, and tells Kouichi to stay away from her and to stop asking questions because she hates it. She is seen talking with him a variety of times. When Kouichi was finished with his test he went outside and saw Mei there. She tells him that she doesn't exist and that Kouichi may be the only one who can see her, leaving him shocked. At that time, Sakuragi runs out of the classroom and grabs her umbrella and runs towards Kouichi's direction. However, she looks in fear and runs in the opposite direction. She ran down the stairs but she fell to death when the umbrella pierced her neck. Kouichi meets her again in the doll store where she tells him to be careful since "it" has started and disappears soon after. But in episode 5, Kouichi reveals that Mei Misaki really exists. Since, "it" has started again, Mei tells everything about the class' curse, unknown reasons of the deaths & the prevention of the deaths deaths of the students & their families.
