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.

<p>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.</p>

<p>In the anime <em>Another</em>, 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.</p>

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

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
