There are so many monogatari novels from the series Bakemonogatari but should I read them as they have been released or should I go in a chronological path?
how is the best way to read the novels?

This is a kinda old thread, right?
And no one ever replied... pretty gay if you ask me.

I'm also pretty confused on how to read it and don't know where to start.
I also thought of reading it on the order of when they got released.

Bakemonogatari Volume 1 / 化物語(上) (Published November 1, 2006, ISBN 4-06-283602-5)
Bakemonogatari Volume 2 / 化物語(下) (Published December 1, 2006, ISBN 4-06-283607-6)
Kizumonogatari / 傷物語 (Published May 7, 2008, ISBN 978-4-06-283663-0)
Nisemonogatari Volume 1 / 偽物語(上) (Published September 2, 2008, ISBN 978-4-06-283679-1)
Nisemonogatari Volume 2 / 偽物語(下) (Published June 10, 2009, ISBN 978-4-06-283702-6)
Nekomonogatari (Black) / 猫物語 (黒) (Published July 28, 2010, ISBN 978-4-06-283748-4)
Nekomonogatari (White) / 猫物語 (白) (Published October 29, 2010, ISBN 978-4-06-283758-3)
Kabukimonogatari / 傾物語 (Published December 24, 2010, ISBN 978-4-06-283767-5)
Hanamonogatari / 花物語 (Published March 31, 2011, ISBN 978-4-06-283771-2)
Otorimonogatari / 囮物語 (Published June 30, 2011, ISBN 978-4-06-283776-7)
Onimonogatari / 鬼物語 (Published September 28, 2011, ISBN 978-4-06-283781-1)
Koimonogatari / 恋物語 (Published December 22, 2011, ISBN 978-4-06-283792-7)
Tsukimonogatari / 憑物語 (Published September 27, 2012, ISBN 978-4-06-283812-2)
Owarimonogatari / 終物語 (TBA 2012)
Zokuowarimonogatari / 続終物語 (TBA 2012)



Yeah I'm gonna read in the order of when it got released.

I just started reading the first sentences of chapter 1 of "Hitagi Crab" but it starts weird, is it always like that?
Not that I hate it, just that if its that way in all chapters or something --its just that I was suprised and am not sure if I'm reading it right.

Sucks that they're not all translated...
(Will start reading them in Baka Tsuki) I was wondering how you download them in PDF?

you can say that again it realy is wierd.. I mean there is little to no introduction of the characters (especialy Araragi) granted I did watch all of the anime adaptations but honestly if I hadn't I'd be just repeating, who's that character they are talking about? or more importantly Who is talking? From the first couple of pages I know more about every other character than the one I'm following O_o

I have read this series as they have been published, but I think reading chronologically would be better

-Kizumonogatari
-Nekomonogatari (Kuro)
-Bakemonogatari
-Nisemonogatari
-Kabukimonogatari
-Nekomonogatari (Shiro) - Onimonogatari (happens at the same time, but one follows Hanekawa, the other follows Araragi)
-Otorimonogatari
-Koimonogatari
-Tsukimonogatari
-Owarimonogatari - Zokuowarimonogatari (2 final books have yet released)
-Hanamonogatari

In released order you will get the references and jokes that happened in the earlier novels too.There is no point for them to be there if you dont know what they are talking about or even forget about it when you reach said novel.

I can't believe they dropped such a popular series on Baka Tsuki. I would love to read this series.

They didn't drop it... It got licensed so they had to stop and let people buy them instead helping the author

They dropped it ages ago way before it was licensed and now they are translating it again which doesn't make sense since you are correct and it is now licensed I have all the books that have been released now lol
