In 1972, a very popular honor student named Misaki died partway through the school year in Yomiyama North Middle School's class 3-3. The rest of the students, devastated by the unexpected loss, decided to carry on as if their classmate were still alive, going so far as to keep the desk in place and bringing it to the graduation ceremony. Yet no one could explain why their classmate, already dead and buried, was present on the graduation photo.

Then, in the spring of 1998, a boy named Kouichi Sakakibara transfers to that classroom, and he grows suspicious of the fearful atmosphere in that classroom. In particular, there is a beautiful, aloof girl named Mei Misaki who wears an eyepatch and is always alone drawing pictures.

Based on Novel and Manga by Yukito Ayatsuji.

Meanwhile Kouichi comes across Tomohiko, who had been randomly killing students in order to find the extra one and starts attacking Kouichi but is stopped by Izumi. Kouichi returns to the house where he finds Izumi attempting to kill Mei, only for her to be hit by shattered glass caused by a lightning strike.

As Kouichi finds Mei later on, he learns that the extra one is Ms. Mikami, aka Reiko, who was murdered by a mysterious man a year and a half ago. Realising the memories he had forgotten, Kouichi reluctantly kills Reiko himself, ending the calamity.
