General Comments: An unfavourable comparative to Bakemonogatari; lacking the flamboyant tone and structure from Bakemonogatari and Kizumonogatari. The circumlocutory dialogue; disturbing imagery; wallowing height of self-indulgence; and perverted under-tones, the delivery is pre-dominantly focused on providing fan-service. A clear weak point, in the otherwise quirky and unique Monogatari franchise.

Favourite Quote: ‘The tools change, but our behaviour doesn't. People are people. While griping that young folk don't read enough and are therefore ignorant, older generations can be clueless in turn about smartphones and the internet.’

Time Read: Five Days.
→ Audiobook: No.
