Fun collection of seasonal short stories, not a fan of the translation though, Daniel Joseph eat dirt.

2.5-3.0 (minor spoilers)

Feels like filler, and the short stories don't seem to be related to each other, which was somewhat of a letdown. In other words, no overarching plot, and the narration was a bit ... off. Of course, it would have been fine if the series was structured this way from the beginning, but this volume felt more like a spin-off than a bona fide Monogatari volume.

Even so, the characters and the interactions between them were still somewhat enjoyable.
