Bakemonogatari

化物語

Hitagi Senjougahara barely weighs anything and she blames a crab. Koyomi Araragi finds out when his quiet classmate slips on the school stairs and he has to catch her. She answers his curiosity with threats. Koyomi wants to help anyway. He has his own brush with the supernatural behind him: over spring break he was a vampire for a while. Meme Oshino helped him recover and may be able to help her too. Hitagi is only the first. One by one Koyomi meets girls whose private troubles have taken the shape of oddities. Many are tied to animals, like Hitagi's crab. The artist behind Air Gear draws this version of NISIOISIN's Monogatari novels. Expect long playful conversations and sharp wordplay. The art is detailed and dramatic. It suits readers who enjoy talky supernatural mysteries.
