Indonesian publisher Penerbit Haru announced last week that it has licensed Yukito Ayatsuji's Another horror novel.

Malaysian publisher Gempak Starz released the novel in Malaysia, and it describes the story:



Koichi Sakakibara transferred into Yomiyama Middle School's class 3-3, but immediately felt a dark atmosphere hang over his class. He is attracted to the aura of a mysterious and beautiful student named Mei Misaki, and tried to approach her. But as he got closer to her, more and more bizarre things begin to happen. One day, the class representative Sakuragi perishes in a horrifying manner. What exactly happened to haunt this school?
Ayatsuji published the original novel in 2009. The novel inspired a 2012 anime by P.A. Works, with character designs by Noizi Ito. Ayatsuji published a sequel novel titled Another: Episode S in 2013, and another sequel titled Another 2001 in 2014.

The novel also inspired a manga adaptation by Hiro Kiyohara, which launched in Kadokawa's Young Acemagazine in 2010, and ended in 2012. Kadokawa published four volumes for the manga. Kiyohara also launched the Another0 manga in Young Ace in 2012, and finished it in the same year.
