Like for any series of any sort, there is usually some sort of amount that is expected by audiences. But not all authors have to obey this expected amount, like omimon has mentioned.

I do hope Nisio does write more, and he probably will because of character development. There's always room for that~ Although I'm a bit sad he is trying write off Hachikuji.

The next novel will be about Hachikuji Mayoi judging from the title

A Jiang Shi is a Chinese undead vampire, so maybe she gets an "upgrade" from wandering spirit?

Now that you mentioned Jiang Shi as undead vampire, that's really interesting...
It's hard to say if it will involve Araragi + Shinobu?

Now the other novel is about Tsubasa's family, no?

Aren't vampires usually considered to be undead already Well, Araragi isn't really dead himself actually but still.

But yeah, the other one focuses more on Hanekawa.

finally found a thread that might be able to help me!

my cosplay group is doing bakemonogatari and there are a limited amount of male slots since Koyomi and Meme are already taken, so my only options are:





out of the three vampire hunters (??) shown in the intro, that is the one I fit the most.

I don't even know his name!

I was hoping if anyone in this thread could identify him, or give a short little bio about what he is about and what mannerisms he has!

I promise to make this epic and spread the Bakemonogatari love!

From the translations provided by omimon - Guillotinecutter. (The three of them appear in chapter 5 of Kizu).

Have fun!

So I was re-reading Nise 1 and it seems that Kaiki knows Kanbaru's mom and that her last name before she got married was "Gaen." (I only slimmed through it the first time.) The reason why I brought this up is because that there is a lot of talk in this thread about how the senpai of Kaiki and Oshino was a female and now I'm beginning to think that just maybe.....Kanbaru's dead mother was their senpai. But let's think about this logically.... Oshino is in his thirties so naturally, the senpai has to be in her thirties too. Kanbaru is 16 years old so it is technically possible that she had her when she was in her early twenties.....what does everyone here think?

From the original stories, I didn't get the impression that Kanbaru's mother was anything but ordinary. Her family might be famous -- which is why Kaiki knew of her -- but she herself probably avoided the occult side of things.

Intriguing possibility. I have wondered how Kanbaru's mother acquired the cursed monkey arm in the first place. Its not something that a normal person would have or even find, but someone who was in that club with Oshino and the others .... ?

Now, now, I thought we all understand Nisio's style by now. Nisio said already that since he can't imagine Hiroshi as a pervert he is already toning down the Araragi-ness. But of course he can totally pull a 180 on us.

Man, I'll be SOOOO happy if he pulled the amnesia card and it turns out that those two did the nastiness shit ever but then it turns out Araragi couldn't remember any of it and that's why he said he was a virgin in Crab.

I don't mind if he pulls the amnesia card, but he better put a spin to it because that's what I expect from him. Somehow, I'm guessing his first love is a non-human. I guess I should read Kizu soon (I swear I've said this like 20 pages back I still have yet to read it) if Shinobu turns out to be his first love since she was involved in the first cat incident.

You know I realized something and I re-watched episode 15 and Araragi said that Senjougahara is the first woman he has ever really loved.....I'm beginning to think that Nisio really will pull an amnesia card on us. But I realized that there is no way Nisio has gotten all of the plot points down from the very beginning since in Crab he keeps saying that Araragi was "attacked" by a vampire and so does Oshino but as the last episode says and what the people who have read Kizu knows, that's not really true. Plotholes, plotholes, plotholes. Well most likely it won't be Tsubasa since he keeps saying he didn't that way ever about Tsubasa.....so please let it be Shinobu.

About that "first love" thing...

"hatsukoi" tends to refer to something really immature, like "puppy love", your first crush, if you wish...and it can be (and often is) unrequited...

The man is either a retard or a genius leaving that kind of plothole... But I don't think it's a plothole either. Awww... He's in love with... Uhhh... Which one is it? It says he was seduced by oddities? Or maybe he went ahead and started his harem before then. But then again, what's that reason again for Shinobu giving the silent treatment?

Yeah... See here, Araragi isn't the type to have this kind of love. I can't picture him lovestruck like that. Senjougahara's relationship is like built on fear or something. LOL! Yeah I think I exaggerated a little bit.

Not lovestruck, but just liking someone. You can have a crush without being lovestruck (well, I've had one). Personally, I just can't see him taking any steps towards a proper relationship unless it's forced on him, at least within the time frame we're talking about (Spring break through to June). He did have something like zero self-confidence just before he entered 3rd year (i.e. until Spring break).

And no matter what his "less than pure" actions and/or reactions say, the way he actually treats those who are important to him, especially in serious situations, suggests that he hasn't quite become completely "carnivorous" yet - if he does become so in Nise and beyond anyway...

Yeah, that's probably not the right word... That's kinda like how he interacted with Senjougahara and Hanekawa, where he just like stood in the friend zone until someone or something offered or forced him to move out of there. The guy has no faith in himself... He's a bit of a slow thinker too. With the recent episode in mind he's like "Yeah I can die for Hanekawa... Oh wait I can't because Tsundere-chan will kill her." And that did show his concerning side where he knew he was important to others. Still, can't to hear what's in Nekomonogatari.
