Summary

Around midnight, under a lonely street lamp in a provincial town in Japan, lies a white woman, a blonde, alone, robbed of all four limbs, yet undead. Indeed, a rumor's been circulating among the local girls that a vampire has come to their backwater, of all places. Koyomi Araragi, who prefers to avoid having friends because they'd lower his "intensity as a human," is naturally skeptical. Yet it is to him that the bloodsucking demon, a concept "dated twice over," beckons on the first day of spring break as he makes his way home with a fresh loot of morally compromising periodicals. Always disarmingly candid, often hilariously playful, and sometimes devastatingly moving, KIZUMONOGATARI: Wound Tale is the perfect gateway into the world of author NISIOISIN, the bestselling young novelist in Japan today. The prequel to BAKEMONOGATARI ("Monster Tale"), this is where the legendary MONOGATARI series, whose anime adaptations have enjoyed international popularity and critical acclaim, begins. A theatrical feature based on KIZUMONOGATARI is due to be released in Japan in January 2016.

  • The narrator does an amazing job infusing the story with energy and emotion through their voice acting. However, the writing itself is quite poor and reminiscent of the ramblings of a middle schooler's daydreams. The writing is incredibly clumsy and awkward, which could be attributed to the translation but I'm not convinced. In fact, I've had to take breaks from the book and switch to something else because it genuinely frustrates me. It doesn't help that the main character feels like a cliché from a poorly executed fighting anime.
  • The voice acting in 'KIZUMONOGATARI' was absolutely amazing, and it truly captivated me. The storyline was incredibly engaging, keeping me hooked throughout. I found the writing to be quite unique and distinctive, providing an immersive experience as I delved into the thoughts of the main character. Perhaps this style is typical of light novels, but as a newcomer to the genre, it was a refreshing and enjoyable encounter. Without a doubt, this was an exceptional tale that had me completely engrossed from beginning to end, and I never once felt like I could predict what would happen next.
  • I used to be really into anime, but now that my eyesight is shot, I can't enjoy it like I used to. However, I had a blast listening to "KIZUMONOGATARI." It was like a trip down memory lane for me. Now, let's talk about the main character. Boy, oh boy, is he a total weenie. Be prepared for a whole lot of his internal waffling. If that kind of thing tickles your fancy, then this book is right up your alley.
