4 : Mayoi Snail, Part 2 ((NEW))
Senjougahara soon changes the topic and asks Koyomi whether something is currently troubling him. He decides that it is the perfect time to tell about his experiences earlier, and recalls his argument with his little sister. According to him, he felt like his own home wasn't his on Mother's Day, particularly because of his two younger sisters who are attached to their mother. It was the real reason why he left the house, and it caused the argument between him and his younger sister Karen. It also left Koyomi with a desire to not go home.
4 : Mayoi Snail, Part 2
Yoimonogatari (宵物語) is the second part of Monster Season of Monogatari Series written by Nisio Isin. It was published on June 14, 2018 as the 24th volume of the whole light novel Monogatari Series, following the previous book Shinobumonogatari released in 2017.
Koyomi visits North Shirahebi Shrine with his partner vampire girl Shinobu Oshino and a tsukumogami doll girl Yotsugi Ononoki to consult with Mayoi Hachikuji, who is a new goddess enshrined there and an expert lost child.
As a result of a discussion among Koyomi, Mayoi, Shinobu and Yotsugi at North Shirahebi Shrine, they arrive at the possibility that this missing case is caused by an apparition (an oddity). They go to the apartment of Hibari in a hurry, however, Kujaku is not there while Hibari temporarily travels overseas.
Mayoi Snake presents another major part of Monster Season focusing on the third-grade middle schooler Nadeko Sengoku, who stays at home and draws manga. The tsukumogami girl Yotsugi Ononoki tells her the story of Mayoi Snail.
Many fans of Monogatari Series are wondering if the rest of the light novel parts are made into anime adaptations such as Off Season and Monster Season. The director Akiyuki Shinbo said it would depend on the anime production company Aniplex, however, we can believe they will complete the anime series of Yoimonogatari with high quality in the future since the studio Shaft has created that Monogatari Series, which had been looked on impossible to be adapted into anime.
Much like the rest of Nisio Isin's work, Bakemonogatari parodies or otherwise examines a number of Japanese fiction tropes, particularly those typical to the Harem Genre. Each chapter focuses on a different girl and the affliction that ails them, each one an examination of a different anime girl stereotype. For example, main girl Hitagi is a Tsundere (or so she says), Hanekawa is the Bespectacled Cutie, and so on. Araragi himself is an Unreliable Narrator, so much of his opinion of who these girls are can bleed into their portrayal in the series, making it so that we often learn more about Araragi at the same time we learn about the girls.

Meanwhile, Hitagi has to overcome her unease with vocalizing touchy-feely emotions, a personality flaw that is shown through the lens of her hatred of kids. Anyone that feels discomfort around children knows the drill: you become very uncomfortable because you have communicating with people not on your wavelength. Hitagi seems to feel the same way, rebuking after having to comfort a young child she bumped into in a department store when she was in middle school. Her feelings turned to spite in order to repress her discomfiture at exerting the tenderness required in such a social situation.
Josh Dunham was kind enough to allow me to be a guest on episode thirteen of his Senpai Coast to Coast podcast. We talked at great length (4+ hours to be precise) about Bakemonogatari. There are spoilers. Our dive was so deep that the final edit of the show is split into several parts, so look for those in the coming days/weeks. For now, enjoy this hour of discussion about the first two arcs of the show and maybe read my show notes below. 041b061a72
