Does anyone know when the last three novels will be coming out? I've read all of them already :/

[Palom]

I've read that Yotsugi Doll will be released at the end of August.

Did she? I thought she was out of underwear so she had to purchase some from the convenience store, then use Hitagi's later when she stayed at her place.

I haven't read beyond Nise-, but one of running gags in Kizu- was that Koyomi was "collecting" Tsubasa's underwear

[Mura]

So on september 28th a complete guidebook to nisemonogatari will be released as well as Tsukimonogatari as confirmed by Kodansha.

While at least now there is a definite release date for Tsukimonogatari, it still irks me this delay. The book better be good.

Cover art for Tsukimonogatari has been revealed via ad in the final volume of Nisemonogatari's video release.

OH SNAP!! VOFAN actually followed the anime's character design for Ononoki. Unless VOFAN designed it already in the first place and it was the anime that followed him...

There is a possibility that it's the latter, as VOFAN doesn't necessarily draw his illustrations just before the book comes out.

(I also guess the illustration inside depicts Kagenui)

Anyway, it wouldn't be bad even the former, since VOFAN is not always faithful to Nisio's descriptions.

Dat posed look.

I've found even the text on the back of Tsukimonogatari:

゛頼むからひと思いにーー人思いにやってくれ゛

少しずつ、だがしかし確実に

「これまで目を瞑ってきたこと」を精算させられていく阿良々木暦

大学受験も差し迫った２月、

ついに彼の身に起こった゛見過ごすことのできない゛変化とは……。

〈物語〉は終わりへ向けて、憑かれたように走りはじめるーー

青春に、別れの言葉はつきものだ。

"I beg you, do it for me single-mindedly -- do it for me as if I were a human" {untranslatable play on words here, there is a word that it's not technically a word, just some kanji slapped together}

Little by little, but with certainty

Araragi Koyomi made me recognize that "until now I have shut my eyes{/pretended not to know}"

2 months before the university entry exam,

At last a change that "could not be overlooked" happened to his body.......

While directed toward the end, <Monogatari> starts running as if possessed.

For the youth, parting words are a given{"tsukimono" also means "evil spirit". Here it's in hiragana, so it's ambiguous.}

I wonder if the change is because of his relationship with Shinobu? Being part human and vampire?

[ultimate_noob]

Delusional predictions judging from the intro text. Its either...

Spoiler for :

Tsukihi will realize she is a kaii and will wish to be a mortal. Ononoki will grant her wish but with a condition.

Spoiler for :

Araragi has to choose if he will remain as a vampire or as a human. His relationship with shinobu will end resulting in parting with her. Ononoki will be the one that can bring him back to his full human/vampire self.

then the battle with Ougi will be continued on Owarimono

From Kizu I gather in Japan a school year ends during Spring Break, which is March to April. I guess enrollment in university happens in April, which means that it should be February.

Anyway, it sounds like Nisio has invented a plot point concerning Araragi for the last season.

Actually, it's in February, and the exams are happening just after this is taking place.


大学受験も差し迫った２月
=> In February, with university exams imminent...
