I watched the anime while it was airing, and now that it's done, I was wondering, should I read the manga? I started it, but it's even more vague than the anime. If it starts to get better after the first chapter though....I'll probably finish it. Have you read it? I've heard that the manga ends a lot better than the anime.

No, I haven't read the manga yet....

the true is, I probably not going to read it anytime soon since I just watched the anime like one month ago and I remember pretty much everything about the story...and I also read part of the novel, so if I read the manga too, I might get sick(like read the same story for three times within a short period of time).
However, I did read the 0 chapter of the manga which is about "16 years ago" when Reiko was in class 3-3. I think it was ok...I guess I am not a fan of the art....and I think the mangaka make the manga creepier than the anime. and ya, I ve heard the ending of the manga is happier(but not sure it is better thou), and a certain popular character still alive at the end.so may be you could give it another try if you want a happier ending...?

Do you like reading book? if so may be you could try reading the novel instead? the englisg version is going to release next month, and you will understand the story better if you read the original novel.

I see. Was the light novel written before the manga? If so, I'd pick the novel over the manga. Who is releasing the English version of the novel? And I didn't really like the art of the manga very much, it was very dark and it was hard to tell what was going on. They also wrote the plot, story, and dialogue like you had already seen the anime and read the novel. Which I've only seen the anime.

Are you going to watch the live action movie? I really want to see it.

You are welcome :) and what an avatar you have here @0@ hehe~

and have you heard that Yukito Ayatsuji ( the author of Another) is currently writing a spinning off novel of Another and it's called 『Another ~episode S』, hopefully it is good and if it is good and popular then, they might make an anime adoption of it :)

Oh? What avatar is showing up? I've changed it two times since MAL's signature updating and stuff went down, but it's still Mayuri Shiina from Steins;Gate. I changed it to a creepy girl with blood coming out of her mouth, then some original fanart I found. But mine still shows up as Mayuri >< EDIT: Now it's the creepy girl since I refreshed the page. LOL

I have not heard about that, that sounds like it has potential. I'd love something that shows how the curse started and the chaos that ensues.

Well, it is not really a sequel, so its not a story about the class 3-3 "curse" but I ve heard Mei and Kouichi will appear in the story and they encounter someone with a different kind of curse. something like that.

and I agree, it would be nice to see how the chaos ensues afterward and see an end to the curse ~but I guess this is probably the typical japanese horror style where the curse or the cause of the disaster never really end/disappear at the end, just like Shiki, the Ring etc.

Oh I see, then that might be cool. I'd like to see Mei and Kouichi dating personally. Did you know that the author for Another is married to the author of Ghost Hunt? My two favorite anime made by a couple!

Me too~ it would be nice if they become a couple but I doubt this will happen T__T
and I ve heard that the author of Another is married to the author of Shiki,so I guess the author of Ghost Hunt and Shiki is the same person then~
so Ghost hunt is one of your favourite. have you read the manga version of it?

Yes I have read the manga, and I'm so happy because the manga just started up again as a sequel of sorts. But only one chapter is out ;-; The manga is good, but the art is kind of meh. But I don't mind it's still spooky.
