The manga adaptation of NisiOisin’s Bakemonogatari novels is getting close to its conclusion. After entering its climax back in July 2019, the official Twitter account for the series announced that it’s about to kick off its final stage in 2022.
The Bakemonogatari manga by Oh! great (Air Gear, Tenjho Tenge) first launched in the pages of Weekly Shonen Magazine in March 2018, and as of November 2021 there are 15 compiled volumes available in Japan.
Vertical publishes both the original novels and manga in English. Here’s the official synopsis:
One day, high-school student Koyomi Araragi catches a girl named Hitagi Senjougahara when she trips. But—much to his surprise—she doesn’t weigh anything. At all. She says an encounter with a so-called “crab” took away all her weight … Monsters have been here since the beginning. Always. Everywhere.
