Another is a novel written by Yukito Ayatsuji and was published in 2009 by Kadokawa Shoten.

This anime is originally based on what work of media?

Kōichi is originally from Yomiyama, so he technically moves BACK from Tokyo.

Kōichi Sakakibara, our protagonist, moves to Yomiyama from what city?

Technically Class 3-3 in the novel and Class 9-3 in the anime, but it's often referred to simply as Class 3.

Kōichi and Reiko are close, living together after Kōichi's move back to Yomiyama.

Yukari Sakuragi was the first on-screen death we see, after she falls down the stairs onto the point of her umbrella.

Because of how the curse works, ostracizing a student helps to counterbalance the "extra person" in the class, seemingly.

They thought she was the reason the calamity was happening

To push back the curse and to stop it from killing people

She said something highly offensive at the start of the school year

While this was the initial belief, Junta Nakao's death at the beach proved that to be a myth.

He wasn't aware at the time that it was the extra, but he was the only one to remember them after the fact.

He accidentally killed the "extra" dead person

He stopped a seemingly inevitable death, and no others occurred afterward

He chanted an inscription on a gravestone and stopped the curse

Mei is able to see when someone is close to death, or perhaps more relevant, already dead.

Takako actually went to elementary school with Mei's twin sister, so Mei's story about her losing her eye at 4 years old still holds true.

She believes Mei lied about her eye since they went to elementary school

It was Reiko Mikami, Kōichi's assistant homeroom teacher and aunt, who passed away two years ago from drowning that came back as the extra.
