Monogatari Series: Final Season
| No news on the newest book yet? |
Grouchio said: I don't see it actually listed for sale yet at any of the places I buy it so it isn't on my late January or early February orders yet. I really wish the Japanese book industry could get their butt in gear and get stuff solicited early! If I miss the pre-order deadline I'll have to go get my raincoat, arm bandage and tape...No news on the newest book yet? |

Really hope that Kodansha won't delay the book release |
| While Kabuki Bluray v2 includes the same 1/31 2014 ad for Owari Chuu that we've seen elsewhere it still doesn't seem to be available to order... |
mugi said: Yes, same as the leaflet in Kabuki v2...http://www.monogatari-series.com/2ndseason/news/index.html#news29229 It's been confirmed on the website now. Now if only I could actually order it from Neowing/CDJapan or Amazon Japan! As it is, we are 3 days from the supposed release date and there is nowhere to order it and the website info doesn't even have an ISBN that I could use to request it from Neowing/CDJapan! Ah well, my next shipment won't be leaving until Symphogear G v5 is available on the 4th so hopefully I can add it to that order... |
| Thank god they are not delaying the release. Seriously in need of some monogatari dose. hpulley said: [Yes, same as the leaflet in Kabuki v2...

Thought of buying the book later. |

Thought of buying the book later. Lipogura is really cool! I really like it! It isn't quite the Lipogram I was expecting, he explains the rules he is using but beyond that, the story is good and fun, the guest illustrators are great. For a guy who uses experimental language all over the place in Monogatari anyways, it is a really interesting book as he basically gets to play with the language the whole book through while also writing a neat plot and having a bunch of cool mangaka and illustrators do the pictures. I just wish it had sold better. Not that he needs the money but so that Kodansha lets him do that sort of thing more often. |

Damn he's fast =__= |
| And amazon has it... well, a listing, temporarily out of stock, sigh... http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/4062838613 Requesting it at CDJapan. |
| And Kinokuniya Webstore (my country) didn't even have the book up yet. Sigh... I guess I'll wait until this coming Sunday. |
mugi said: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=NEOBK-1602564I'll usually use CDjapan as well. Also what's Lipogura? Ripogura or Lipogura... Is Nisioisin's Japanese Lipogram novel. I need to add it to Wikipedia as a Japanese example, and a Japanese page for it would be fun as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipogram He sets rules for himself (different for different sections of the book) for how he is allowed to write. But at the same time it is also a fun Nisioisin story. It also has guest mangaka and LN illustrators adding pictures. |
| So I was looking around for some spoilers. Found this: Source: http://blog.haruhi.to/ Sadly, my japanese skills still suck hard, so can anyone please translate and summarize what the text says? I'm not even sure if it's something legit or not. |

| CDJapan has a listing now too, ships in 5-7 days :( |
| *Grabs a petal flower* I should sweep the entire read in one day, I should sweep the entire read in one day not... I should sweep the entire read in one day, I should sweep the entire read in one day not... Let's see how busy it will make us. ;) |
| Now in stock at CDJapan and Amazon but I won't get my copy until at least next week... |
| Kino webstore also has the item in their new stock listing. I will dash off to get the book this weekend (yay) |
mugi said: I am really confused with the stuff I've read about it so far. Me too. Or is it that @ultimate_noob missed something while reading the book? well, he just did a fast read anyways. |
| All the items for my order with Owari Chuu are in stock, hopefully it ships this weekend and arrives Monday. In that case I will not be getting much sleep Monday night... |
| Bought Lipogura before getting to my Monogatari dose. Apparently the store didn't get the stock in which disappoint me a bit. Oh well, lipogrammatic novel is going to be a mindfuck ride for me and it is in japanese lol. |
| Lipogura is good! Smart buy! Too bad OwariChuu wasn't in stock. Mine still hasn't shipped. Soon I hope... The wait kills but I will wait. Reading manga on the computer is bad but novel scans, ugh, no... Plus I support Nisioisin! |
| I read some LN on my tablet due to lack of sources here in my place (yeah that Zaregoto and Shoujo Fujuubun)... Monogatari and Lipogura are the only novels that I have in paperback format. Didn't quite used to online stores to purchase stuff though. lol |
| Nothing like a real book... Kodansha Box is expensive, Lipogura is cheaper. Both are more than bunko novels. Ah well, Nisioisin is worth it IMO! |

Looks nice. But who is the girl on the cover picture? Edit: Oh, it actually says "Hitagi Senjougahara" on the cover page if I'm not wrong. Great : D |

mugi said: And those tori/doughnuts... Is there any grave meaning behind these tori except the connection to Shinobu? I haven't read Koyomimonogatari, but IIRC "Koyomi Torus" is more or less about Shinobu's passion for doughnuts. Or did I miss something serious? |

| The end of Chuu says Zokuowarimonogatari is coming this year, 2014. It doesn't list how many volumes yet, or it could be just one. Interesting last line of the atogaki of chuu as well. |
hpulleyMar 10, 2014 6:07 PM
| Well, that's what he/she told Kanbaru in Hanamonogatari... says to say Ougi-kun but in Owarimonogarai to the end Nisioisin still writes Ougi-chan!!! |
mugi said: Well, Ougi said she's actually a dude. |
| I see. |
mugi said: And I took some screencaps of the commercial http://imgur.com/U5bu128,ql6Rn3w,P01pG1C,fuSy6XC,LlAmT4j,NFzoCJu,somp6xy Who is she? Sodachi? |
TeufelD said: That was my initial thought but if so then VOFAN has changed her a lot. That's one braid but Sodachi has pigtails but not nice twintails. Her images in Owari part 1 are not cute while the Owari 3 cover girl looks cute so I don't think it's her but if not her then??? I dunno. Find out April 3rd or before I guess...mugi said: And I took some screencaps of the commercial http://imgur.com/U5bu128,ql6Rn3w,P01pG1C,fuSy6XC,LlAmT4j,NFzoCJu,somp6xy Who is she? Sodachi? |

I thought it was Sodachi because the girl clothes on the cover looks like Sodachi's clothes but I forgot that Sodachi has twintails and not Braid thanks for answering |

I thought that it's Senjougahara especially because of the "hime-cut-ish" bangs of that girl. But judging by the hair lenght, it actually can't be her. Meh, not sure anymore... |
| Senjougahara or Tooe...? |
mugi said: yukaru00 said: Senjougahara or Tooe...? Compare her bangs with the Hitagi from the Koi cover, it's how Vofan drew her for a while now. Why would it be Tooe? Since Nisio mentioned Tooe's name in detail I guess. If likewise he will just stated the woman as "Kanbaru's mom" or "Izuko's sister". I doubt Nisio will rise up any character in detailed if he just wantsto let it go wasted and without any real purposes-- eg: Kabuki time-space travel arc. But yeah, that is Gahara-san in the cover machigainaku. |
mugi said: thank you! I kinda hope it's Sodachi or new chara, but Hitagi is fine tooIt's Hitagi. Part 3 will most likely be in a new time frame. Maybe it's the sequel to Koyomimonogatari or maybe even before or after Hana. I don't think those time frames mentioned her hairstyle. |
| I hope to all the gods in the creative heavens that this has a happy ending! |
| 終物語 下 Up for order! 396 pages! http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/4062838680 http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOBK-1637439 Ordered my copy. Chuu is going to be fun animated. Lots of fanservice on tap. |
| I am getting this one for 'free' on points at CDJapan... which is kind of lucky as I don't have anything to order right now so it would have been silly to order one book on its own otherwise. Not in stock yet, wonder when it will ship, this week or next? |
| My copy has shipped! As usual I will read it myself instead of others translations and spoilers. |
| I read the spoilers.... I CAN DIE HAPPY~~ |
| It's here. It's a ton of pages. Three episodes. And from the first page it is amazing. Best book in the series in my opinion. |

| Another key visual up: |
 |
| I wonder who that girl is? |
| And who's the girl behind her? omg |
| Who's that girl ? |
| Fake people have an image to maintain. Real people just don't care. -Hikki |
mugi said: Sodachi??? Really? Doesn't look anything like her previous picture where she has long hair, is rather drab looking. Hmm.That's Sodachi apparently. And that's the cover for Zokuowari, coming in september. |
hpulleyJul 8, 2014 6:56 PM
mugi said: Well, yes always word play with Nisioisin of course but there I don't think that's her name, he's just saying that it is the story of them continuing to grow up of course but double entendres can never be ignored here.hpulley said: Sodachi??? Really? Doesn't look anything like her previous picture where she has long hair, is rather drab looking. Hmm. Yeah, but maybe it's the new girl from Owari 3. You can see long haired Sodachi in the mirror on her back though. And there's some line with wordplay including "sodachi". 僕達と、育ち続ける物語. Wait, maybe the "new girl" was Sodachi and they didn't recognize her because of her hair. If that's now Sodachi then I can see why they didn't recognize her but on the other hand I find it hard to believe the drab Sodachi was Koyomi's first love or anything like that while THIS new cute girl I could definitely see Koyomi getting to know... but forgetting her? Drab Sodachi does seem more like a girl he could forget. |
| Probably my favourite volume out of the whole series, Owari 3! Just buy it already! |
| Zokuowari release 9/19 http://kodansha-box.jp/topics/nishio/index.html |
| Full time redditor and fedora owner, gg |
| Already solicited, wow! That's early for them. http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/4062838788 |
