- Monogatari Series: Off
Season: Oddities
have existed throughout history, with some tales dating back 600 years.
Stories about vampires, a monkey's paw, shikigami, wanderers in the
mountain mists, killer felines, mermaids, wolves, golems and, most
terrifying of all, humans, have been collected by so-called "oddity
specialists." The purpose of these specialists is to combat,
regulate, and most importantly, solve the many mysteries behind the
circumstances that create these oddities. Monogatari Series: Off Season
follows eight protagonists – some specialists, others the oddities
themselves – as they interact with the world of aberrations, often falling
into dangerous situations due to their own antics.
- Monogatari Series: Monster
Season: “It's
nice to save a girl who has nothing to do with you every now and then.”
The female students of Naoetsu High School have disappeared one after
another. When the girls' mummified bodies are discovered, a very
distinctive mark is left on the back of their necks...? Koyomi Araragi,
now a first-year college student, sets off to track down the culprit!

house , with illustrations by Vofan . To date, the publisher

Monogatari
Series Synopsis
This is a
story, a kind of “phantasmagoria,” about scars that bind, monsters that lurk,
and fakes that deceive. The story of Koyomi Araragi begins through a fateful
encounter with the all-powerful blonde-haired, “hot-blooded, iron-blooded, and
cold-blooded” vampire, later introduced as Shinobu Oshino. Their tragic
encounter ends Araragi's life as a human and his subsequent rebirth as a
vampire, a monster. However, this encounter is only the beginning of her
dabbling in the supernatural. Koyomi's noble personality leads him to become
even more involved in the lives of other people with supernatural afflictions.
This is her desperate attempt to return to a normal human life, in a paranormal
world full of tragedy, suffering and inhumanity.
