La historia de Senjogahara. Solo eso, es exactamente como el anime aunque tiene menos paréntesis. Ya sabes cuando en el anime de repente ponían toda la pantalla llena de texto por unos segundos y tenias que parar para leerlo todo. En este formato de la historia está muy simplificado. Pero mantiene la esencia de la historia.
"¿Mh? ¿Ayudarte? ¿Yo? ¡Eso es imposible! Tu sola te salvarás por ti misma, por voluntad propia."

some interesting ideas but too pervy tbh
I really enjoyed this, it was strange, very quirky and odd, but I think that’s what I loved so much. The humour is brilliant and the art is amazing, so beautiful, such a talent. If you love manga and want something unique , but brilliant, this is the manga you need to read.
Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

i got this after watching the first couple episodes of the show and loving them. the manga carries a similar beauty but the narrative jumps around more. this made it a little confusing at first since i was expecting things in a certain order but i really enjoyed the staccato feeling of the manga!
I received an arc from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review
So I came in to this manga super intrigued in how this would adapt my favorite light novel series of all time. What makes the Monogatari series so great is how wonderfully timed, humorous, and quick-witted the banter between characters seems, as well as the super interesting characters and supernatural events.
So is the manga able to maintain what makes the light novel so good? Sadly it loses a lot from this adaptation. The witter banter is scaled back significantly, even more so than the anime, which at least left in enough to not feel as empty. Don't get me wrong here, as the manga has some really good sequences, and nails jokes at a decent pace. It's just due to the structure of manga and panels, if you've delved in to this world before, you know it has sacrificed a lot. Due to said structure it has no choice, but to edit out so much of the conversations, which left it feeling not quite whole.
Thankfully the plot itself doesn't suffer in the manga, so if you prefer a more straight forward nature in this style, it does its job. The artwork is fantastic, and I really enjoyed the effort the artist put in here. Characters look, act, and feel as they should. Another nice thing the artist has done, is give their own touch to the characters. The characters of course follow the original designs, but it is done without looking like straight copies of the light novel art, or the anime.
I think in the end, this manga may please some who may not have checked out the light novels or the anime first. It's not a terrible starting point in that regard, yet even then I recommend people consume this in either of its other media forms as to not miss out on what truly makes this series amazing in the first place. As for anyone that has consumed this series in another format, there isn't any reason I can recommend needing to check this out, unless you want it for your collection.
I'd give it a 2.5 out of 5 if I could, but rounding it up to a 3 since it isn't an option.

This was just okay. I honestly don’t have anymore opinions on it besides that everything was just okay. I don’t think I’ll be continuing this.

Loved the artwork and loved the story. Both were in true manga style. The story was original and I would highly recommend this title to friends and family.
