| abstract | - That explains why only Sakakibara can see her out of the whole class: He's the son of someone from the original "cursed" class. This may be eventually made obvious; but hey, I'm only assuming from watching episode 3 of the anime.
* Jossed. The manga is being translated by several scanlation groups. It's rather deep into the story, and there it's been revealed that Mei isn't invisible at all. Everyone chooses to ignore her and treat her as if she weren't there. This may seem cruel, but the reason for this is very understandable: ever since the incident with the original Misaki in nineteen-eighty-whatever, an "extra" student mysteriously appears in class 3. This student is dead, and everyone's memories is automatically altered so that they can't tell who it is. But everyone still knows that this dead person is hidden amongst them, but no one will be able to tell who it is until graduation, when their memories revert to normal. The presence of the "extra person" causes an imbalance that leads to the inexplicable deaths of anyone connected to class 3 or the previous class 3s. The only way to counteract this is to treat one random student as if he or she didn't exist, thus neutralizing the imbalance.
