Another fantastic book in the series. I can't wait for the next book this month. I'm glad they are being translated and released on a pretty regular schedule now. Mayoi comes back in to focus as this story revolves around her past, but it truly is about Araragi and Shinobu's relationship overall. It was nice to see just where they are now due to their connection with each other. Can't wait for the next book! At least it comes out very soon!
I will repeat what I always do when talking about Nisioisin books... READ THEM! His writing is top notch, and the translations that Vertical is doing with his books are super well done.

An entertaining addition to the monogatari series that posits the question “if you could change something in the past, would you?” Araragi & shinobu are presented with this exact opportunity & find that “simple” actions can have unforeseen consequences. Hesitate to call this my favorite entry to the series based on what I’ve watched of the anime, but it’s a solid one. Can definitely tell that Nisioisin is starting to hit a really good stride with the characters he’s written at this point.
