What Season 1 of Another

Kōichi Sakakibara moves to Yomiyama to live with his grandparents and, after a month in the hospital, starts at the local high school. He is assigned to Class 3-3, a group with a bad reputation. His classmates act as if Mei Misaki, a student who died, is still present, and Kōichi is the only one who seems to see her. Determined to understand what is going on, he investigates the class's history and asks questions that nobody fully answers. Each incomplete answer leaves him with the feeling that the curse hanging over the group hides something more.
