There’s a girl at their school who is always ill. She routinely arrives late, leaves early, or doesn’t show up at all, and skips gym as a matter of course. She’s pretty, and the boys take to whispering that she’s a cloistered princess. As the self-described worst loser in her class soon finds out, they just don’t know what a monster she is.

Bakemonogatari is an odd one for certain. Well, I guess that is actually a given for any one of NisiOisiN's works. He is a strange writer at the best of times, and the Monogatari series could be considered his magnum opus in terms of peak strangeness. The series is as divisive as I can see any piece of media with a cult following getting. Some love it to bits, others will hate it to their very core.

Saving one of the best for last seemed to be what happened to me this year in terms of my reading.
I've mentioned before how Monogatari is a truly unique and beautiful work of fiction. It takes real, human characters, breaks them down and analyzes their psyche and motivations through symbolism, and it still has time to make inappropriate jokes and have sappy love confession scenes.

Like reading a confusing anime, filled with sexism and casual paedophilia. I'd rather watch the anime; then I'd at least get to listen to a great soundtrack and watch nice animation. It gets a 2 rather than 1 because I finished it. Not my cup of tea. A shame, since it could have been, but the fanservice is just smothering my excitement. oh well. At least the talk about names and kanji was super nice, I have a feeling that works out better written out than animated!

This really just wasn't for me. I snagged the second one for 3 bucks so I might read the second one.
This guy just seems so creepy, and mentions several times 'I'm not a pedophile' while his friend constantly verbally abuses him and calls him an idiot the entire novel was annoying.

Deeply woven tale of supernatural mysteries. Beautifully written with some great belly laughs included.
I would recommend this for people who enjoy light mysteries or fun adventures.

The first half was alright, but the second half was a slog.. I really only enjoyed the last couple of chapters of it. So many of the exchnages between Araragi and others are just.. soooo cringy, it's honestly hard to read. Definitely won't be picking up the subsequent volumes.

It's hard to see how this book gets so much acclaim.
You have your loser passive protagonist who is a vampire without any real interesting parts. He meets two girls suffering from uninteresting animal themed curses who hate his guts, abuse him, and are generally unlikable all around. Of course, he has to go save them, despite them physically abusing him at times (which is ok, because he heals fast.) The saving is also particularly uninteresting, because apparently we can't have much in the way of..more

Bakemonogatari, Part 1 is the first in a three part tale of Koyomi Araragi and how he deals with and interacts with different aberrations that he has come into contact with. The stories themselves are rather short but enjoyable. This particular novel deals with two characters, the stationary-obsessed Hitagi Senjogahara and the elementary school student, Mayoi Hachikuji.

I read Kizomonogatari before this one. While the plot was interesting, the storytelling was the strongest point of the book.
So, when I started Bakemonogatari, the monster book, I was expecting something similar. As it was written earlier in his career, it sometimes goes over the limits of what can be considered smart dialogue and gets a bit annoying (reason why it lost 1 star).

I have had several recommendations to get into the Monogatari series, happened to see this at the store, and picked it up to see what was going on. I did not enjoy large portions of the writing style, but various events in the book kept dragging my interest back to it. The third act of the second story contained in this volume lifted it from two stars to three, and I might be persuaded to get the second volume, but the second volume will really have to be something to keep me in on this series...more

A delightful, if problematically juvenile read. It feels as if Nisioisin is trying to get his bearings and his feet under him in a world that he’s slowly building from the ground up with characters he hasn’t fully gotten a grasp of. Still, every interaction with Senjougahara is priceless and even funnier than in the show at times. The whole book is hilarious, although Araragi’s internal monologues aren’t nearly as interesting as they should get to be.

It's hard for me to tell how much of this book I enjoyed because of how much I enjoyed the TV show.
The TL;DR .. 'hero' boy keeps meeting girls with supernatural problems. He takes them to his mentor, and finds a way to resolve the issues either as the main actor or as a supporting one. A lot of word-play happens, and imagine that Aaron Sorkin was writing the dialogue.

It was just ok.
I was floored by how contrived and bad the dialogue is. I get that the author was trying to make it funny, but it just didn't come across that way. I also wasn't particularly impressed by the author's attempt to knock on the 4th wall, acknowledging manga/LN tropes within the text. The writing style was also a chore to slog through, with sentence fragments and odd punctuation on every page. Sometimes what the characters said was in quotation marks and sometimes it wasn't.

I've approached NisiOisiN in a way that is, frankly, an appropriate amount of weird. It started with the anime, where I watched the first season (but petered out around Nadeko Snake). Then I watched the second season in full, retried the first, and never quite got around to Kizumonogatari. From there, I stumbled upon the light novels by chance at a convention: parts 2 and 3, so I started from Suruga and finally got through Nadeko and Hanekawa. Then back to his first works, but the second of the..more
When I started reading this novel I believed that it would be hard for me to write an unbiased review, based on the fact that the anime adaptation is my favorite piece of Japanese animation.
However, now that I have made my way through it, I find myself less trying to make apologies for the novel, and more just wishing it was better.

I love Monogatari Series. So, let's skip the part where I talk about how I felt about them, because words wouldn't make justice about my actual feelings. As well as you can't describe the love you can feel to your partner, you can spend time trying to approximate what it's like to feel that love. I won't do that.

Short arcs are better with Monogatari and I enjoyed this more than the Kizu novel (despite the fact, that in the adaptation I prefer Kizu over Bake). There are two stories in this volume. Hitagi Crab is the first story which was released and its a great starting point of the series. The dynamic between Araragi and Senjougahara is brilliant. Oshino is my favourite character (well, with Kaiki ofc) in the whole series and in these early volumes he gets more spotlight as well. The second story, Mayo..more

I've tried my hand at reading a few light novels, but none of them ever really held my focus, until Bakemonogatari. I have not seen the anime yet, so I decided to start at the source material first. I was genuinely surprised by how well written this book was. The banter between characters is perfect, and he sets the pace of the conversations so well. From chuckling to laughing aloud, I didn't want the conversations to end. The characters are flawed in their own ways, at many times in very dark o..more
My most favorite story was about Mayoi and the snail. I have not watched the anime, so I got the full Bakemonogatari treatment first-hand by reading the original novel.

This is probably the most bizarre novel I’ve read. Nisioisin knows what he’s doing, and has fun doing it. The novel is completely character-focused and comprised almost completely of straight dialogue. The plot is more of an underlying theme; a mere side-dish. The characters are strong and unpredictable.
Because of the character-focus, I wouldn’t call this novel a ‘page turner’ but the character interaction is odd, interesting, and incredibly humorous. Dialogue is authentic, in a unique and some..more

The entire Bakemonotgatari series is a ton of fun to read. Full of witty cute banter between the main character and his minions. One thing I really love about the series is the originality behind the supernatural curses, which the author explains in his notes in the back of the book.

Bakemonogatari Part 1 features many typical light novel aspects within it. I loved Hitagi crab but Mayoi snail was not as great for me. Some parts in the stories were questionable but Nisioisin does mention in the afterward that he '..desired to write a fun novel crammed full of stupid exchanges.' Overall the stories were fun and intriguing. As a result, it was a nice light read. Honestly I would like to give it 3.5 stars but goodreads does not allow for that.

This book felt like the author just churned out some inane conversation tied loosely to a sketched out plot. He's got the start of an interesting character in Araragi, but we don't get very much. The other female characters (and yokai) he has to deal with are even less fleshed-out. Granted, this is part one in a three-part series (so far), but it's not off to a promising start. It feels very thrown-together to meet a publishing deadline.

'Eternity was not a quality of any relationship.'
hitagi crab and mayoi snail are both great introductory arcs to the characters of senjougahara and hachikuji. the dialogue is obviously the focal point of monogatari and almost all the subtleties and nuances of the conversations have not been completely lost in translation, which is an amazing feat from ko ransom. very readable and iconically unique - the monogatari series is something special.
