Another (Another (Manga))

Product Information

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Takako is reasonably soft-spoken throughout most of the series, and she's genuinely compassionate toward her friends. After surviving a murder attempt at the hands of the innkeeper her tone becomes completely flat and lifeless, and in the end, she's screaming and laughing. This is to drive home the fact she's not herself... not that anyone else especially noticed or seemed to care, and she's easily one of the most hated characters in the series because of it. In the manga continuity, Izumi is much more actively hostile toward Mei from the outset, jealous of her stoic acceptance of her role as the shunned student. Izumi was jealous of Mei's calm mien, especially given her own troubled home life and her inability to cope with it. She attempted to kill Mei in the kitchen at the inn, stabbing her in her glass eye. Mei, of course, survived this because of her artificial eye, but didn't retaliate, instead warning Izumi she'd better run, or risk being caught in the burning kitchen and killed. Later on, she protects him from Mizuno, who blamed Kouichi for his sister's death. However, when Mei attempted to kill Reiko, Kouichi at first was unwilling to accept this as necessary, accusing Mei of lying. At the climax of the film, Mei saw Death leaching out of Reiko and onto Kouichi. Realizing her best friend was about to die, Mei begged Kouichi to let his aunt fall, as it was the only way to break the curse. Reiko concurred, and the two escaped the inn. However, the trauma of this caused Kouichi's lung to collapse a second time just as they got outside, and he fell to ground. Mei was horrified, kneeling beside her friend and screaming his name, fearing she'd been too late. not. Although the violence means that this is not for the faint of heart (or weak of stomach), I would nevertheless wholeheartedly recommend watching it, as it is well worth your time.

Mei seemed indifferent to Akazawa and vice versa in the beginning. However throughout the series, whenever Misaki is around Kouichi, Izumi glares at her in a spiteful manner, especially after many of the death scenes. It all comes to a head in episode 10 when Izumi demands that Mei apologizes for her perceived part of the calamity, despite Kouichi's, Teshigawara's, and Mochizuki's protests. Determinator: He takes a lot of damage in Episodes 11 and 12, but it doesn't stop him from trying to find and protect Mei. Replacement Goldfish: Yukiyo made a doll which resembles Mei to create a duplicate of the child Yukiyo lost during her pregnancy. The ominous rumors revolve around a former student of the class 3-3. However, no one will share the full details of the grim event with Kouichi. Engrossed in the curse that plagues his class, Kouichi sets out to discover its connection to his new friend. As a series of tragedies arise around them, it is now up to Kouichi, Mei, and their classmates to unravel the eerie mystery—but doing so will come at a hefty price.

Exact Words: She said she wouldn't kill Kouichi, but it doesn't stop her from beating and cutting him. The novel ranked third in both the 2010 Honkaku Mystery Best 10 and the Kono Mystery ga Sugoi! 2010 mystery fiction guide books. It was nominated for the 2010 Honkaku Mystery Award. [43]

Adaptational Villainy: Strange though it may seem for someone most closely the series' antagonist, but Izumi at least has standards in every depiction of her...except the film. When Tomohiko plays the tape explaining how to end the Calamity for her and Takako at the Inn, Takako finally stands up to Izumi (who has bullied her for most of the film) and refuses to kill anyone. Izumi's response is to stab her in the throat. Not because she might be the Extra; just because her best friend wouldn't help her instigate a witch hunt against their classmates.The name Mei means "to cry","to sing" and "to scream."
