In the anime Another, the town of Yomiyama is cursed with a calamity that causes the deaths of members of Class 3-3 and their family members living in the town.

This is obviously a big problem. So why don't the members of 3-3 and their families switch schools? Wouldn't that be a better choice than to risk death in Yomiyama?

    presumably because once you've gotten in the class, there's no escaping the curse, even if you physically move away, as we have seen

The deaths are tied to both members of class 3-3 and Yomiyama. My guess is that if you try to leave either class 3-3 or Yomiyama you'll be killed by doing so, rather than waiting for your turn to die through the normal means of the curse--one death every month.

This is mentioned in the show due to one of the character's deaths and on the wiki:

Aya Ayano - While leaving Yomiyama with her parents in their family car, a rock fell and hit the windshield, causing her father to lose control and drive off the mountain.

    Not necessarily true – otherwise, how would Kouchi and his friends be able to travel to the beach in a neighboring city safely? Also, the person you mentioned was killed while leaving – but she hadn't quite left the city just yet. (thanks for the answer, though!)

    Oh yeah. Then unfortunately there is no definitive answer to this, only speculation. For example, leaving with the intent of not coming back triggers a death. E.g. they're bound to Yomiyama and class 3-3 and any attempt to permanently leave triggers the curse.

    All right. I'll see if I can do any more research to find the answer, I will post it if I discover anything with evidence. Thanks!

  • @Angelplayer Wouldn’t leaving for the neighbouring town’s beach be considered coming back soon while leaving for good is bad? The curse, being something supernatural, would know the difference — but it would have to act while the people are still within its jurisdiction, i.e. before the car left the town’s boundaries.

Kouichi asked this same question from Chibiki. Chibiki said consider it as a cellphone going out of range. The curse doesn't affect a person if the person goes out of city.
