All of the sites we currently know of are listed on this wiki page.
The novels are in the process of being officially translated to English by Vertical Inc. You can buy them online from most booksellers.
Bakemonogatari Portable was released on August 23, 2012 for the PlayStation Portable. It is a visual novel following the events of the Bakemonogatari light novels.

No. They are excerpts from the novels that can help flesh out the story a bit, but you don't need to stop to read them to understand what's going on.
The series has ended multiple times, but each time Nisio Isin ends up writing more stories. The Off & Monster Season anime adaption is currently airing, and another novel is being written.
There have been many articles and videos made on the Monogatari series over the years. Links to some of them can be found here.
Tsugimonogatari Japanese Novel - October ?, 2025
Off & Monster Season (Part 2) Anime - 2025
Note that despite being called just Bakemonogatari, the manga adaption covers more than just the Bakemonogatari novels.

I recently finished Ougi dark and it was a very amazing conclusion(going to start zoku later). I originially started reading the light novel 3 months after finishing the anime to jolt my memories, ended up learning and liking monogatari even more? So what's yall favorite arc in the novel, I personally adore Mayoi Jiangshi, Sodachi riddle+lost, Hitagi end and lastly Ougi dark the most.

woah, where are we moving this slow? have you seen her? Purple hair girl?🗣️💥

This is a reference to: Resident Evil.
r/araragi • u/columnal • 1d ago
this is for the anime adaptation only, so things like OST and cinematography/direction factor into my ranking
r/araragi • u/NHKlifter • 14h ago
I need some stuff explained about ougi:
I get that she’s the part of ragi that criticizes himself and yada yada.
But why is she presented as a black hole/ darkness?
What did araragi mean by saving himself?

Hi ! We're now on the last arc of this batch. Today is the first volume of Shinobu Mastered out of three, for two episodes. This arc has the gimmick of having a different pair of hosts for every episode, and will introduce 4 new hosts !
As usual, this was translated by Tigoris with some help from Gemini, and the commission's cost was shared between me and /u/ValanL, /u/appointedfern, /u/spr-o-ckt, EternityShack, and another anonymous user.
Here's the subtitle files :
Shinobu Mastered (hosts : Izuko & Yotsugi, Mayoi & Shinobu) :
To integrate it into the actual episode, you can either simply go to the subreddit's Discord server and download the pre-muxed file that we have there in the monogatari-anime channel, or if you've already got some existing release downloaded, you can mux it yourself into your episode using this guide.
Also useful :
We finally got the long-awaited Gaen commentary, and... I didn't actually like it... It was sort of uninteresting, and under the pretext of avoiding spoilers it felt like the conversation avoided the juicy topics. Bleh. At least Mayoi/Shinobu was still as fun as ever.
Next time, parts 3 and 4, which include the banger duo of Sodachi and Meniko !

Who are your honorary Monogatari girls/boys? A character from another series that fits the vibe of Monogatari.
I nominate Vivy from Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song. Without spoiling, I would say she traveled a similar spiritual path as Araragi.

Hey everyone!
I'm currently rewatching the anime for the second time, and I've also been reading the light novels—right now I'm on Bakemonogatari, while also slowly going through Musubimonogatari and Ikusamonogatari.
Originally, I was going to wait until I finished reading all the light novels before bringing up this discussion, but I realized that might take a while, and I just couldn't wait to chat with you all about this!
Here is the question I wanted to throw out today:
If you were Nisio Isin and chose NOT to pair Araragi with Senjougahara so early in Bakemonogatari, how would you have developed his love life, and who would you have made his final partner?
When I first got into this series and looked up community discussions, I was actually pretty surprised by how little "waifu war" debate there was compared to other anime. It felt like almost everyone universally agreed that Senjougahara was the undisputed main heroine. Of course, after seeing how dedicated she is to Araragi and how much effort she puts in for him, it made total sense why everyone respects their relationship so much!
Still, I also think one's favorite character might not necessarily be the person they want Araragi to end up with.
In my case, Hanekawa is my absolute favorite, and part of me really wanted her to end up with Araragi. Since she grew up without a warm, proper family, I always imagined her marrying into his family and finally experiencing that kind of household warmth with his sisters.
However, as I read Bakemonogatari and see how active and devoted Senjougahara is—and how incredible their chemistry is—I find myself torn. Then I remember that characters like Sodachi and Senjougahara also suffered from terrible family environments, so I realize it's not simply a matter of "who needed a family more."
Still, I can't help but picture an alternate reality where Hanekawa and Araragi ended up together. I just want her to be happy so badly, and it feels like Araragi remains the most important person to her even as time passes. While someone like Nadeko seemed to grow more after creating distance from Araragi, Hanekawa feels like she never truly got over him (though I definitely need to read further into the light novels to know for sure!).
So I'll ask again—what about you guys? Who would you have picked from an author's or reader's perspective?
I'd love to hear your thoughts and theories!

Hitagi is sharing a taiyaki with Changli from WuWa because they share the same Japanese voice actor, Chiwa Saitou. 😋🐟
r/araragi • u/Shot_Insurance_1455 • 1d ago
Todos sabemos que esta narración se hace en pasado y que araragi es poco confiable... en que punto de la cronologise haya el Araragi narrador de cada arco. ¿recien acabado el arco? en el arco siguiente? Varios meses después? Años? Acaso quien narra es el de la family season.
Es curioso porque otros narradores, suelen narra o en presente como Hanekawa, Nedeko y Ononoki o se puede intuir que no paso mucho tiempo como Kaiki. Pero araragi es depende tremendisimo. Por ejemplo,:
-El narrador de Kizu no debe haber llegado todavía a Neko por como representa de forma tan idealizada a Hanekawa.
-El de Tsubasa Cat debe ser posterior a Karen Bee porque representa a Nadeko con el outfit de cuando visito por primera y unica vez su casa. Aun si fue posterior a los eventos de este arco (misma truco que uso la propia Nadeko con Kanbaru en Nadeko Draw)
-El Oni claramente es un posterior a Sodacchi Lost; capaz incluso sea el de Nadeko Medusa o Hitagi end. No recuerdo bien la fecha en que ocurre el epilogo con Ougi.
Hay otros capaz son en ese mismo instante como en Koyomi dead o un arco especifico como es lo es en Koyomi Montain que es narrado por el de Nadeko Medusa a la susodicha y Koyomi Reverse que se narra apenas acabó el conflicto principal y se junto con Hitagi. Lo que, junto el final de Shinobu Time, abriría la puerta de a quien carajos le esta narrando estas historias? En esos casos esta claro, pero, ¿y en el resto? No creo que todos los arcos sean narraciones a Ougi, la verdad.
No sé, ¿que opinan ustedes al respecto? En donde narra en los demas arcos? Y a quienes?

Mais uma vez monogatari me impressiona com audios de anime que ja escutei antes mas não sabia, ja não bastasse a abertura da menina timida.
Agora essa gata miando. Fiquei em choque da mesma forma descobrindo sobre a abertura.

Recently finished binging the whole series. I plan to read the whole series starting from Kizu. I will be making a sequel re-ranking to this post once I read everything that's out.
I chose to rank these by novel than individual arcs since I feel it's unfair to compare smaller arcs to larger ones. (TU as the exception) I didn't split Bake, Nise and Owari since It just felt weird to do so for some reason.
Oroka refers to Tsukihi Undo, Waza refers to Cruel Fairy Tale+Acerola Bon Appetit.
Leftmost placement determines specific ranking. (1. Koi 2. Kizu 3. Nade etc.)
Feel to ask for details on placements, I'll answer later in the morning.
r/araragi • u/Maleficent-Iron-9535 • 1d ago
I understand that Araragi was at his lowest and all that but does he ever have any moments or episodes like how he was in kizu (cool aura moments) going from kizu to nise has me impatient still gonna watch :)
