Nisemonogatari

Synopsis

Continues the story of Bakemonogatari

In Bakemonogatari, high school senior Koyomi Araragi narrowly survives a vampire assault thanks to the intervention of Meme Oshino. Although Araragi is restored to his human form, he retains peculiar abilities such as rapid healing and enhanced vision. With the assistance of his friend and class representative Tsubasa Hanekawa, Araragi strives to maintain a normal student life. One day, after catching his classmate Hitagi Senjougahara as she tumbles down the stairs, Araragi realizes she feels unnaturally light. Despite Senjougahara's protests, Araragi chooses to help her and seeks out Oshino, the same individual who aided him previously. Through a series of tales involving spirits and deities, Bakemonogatari chronicles Araragi's endeavors to assist those suffering from supernatural afflictions.

In this installment

Following his recovery from a vampire incident and various encounters with girls entangled in supernatural events, Koyomi Araragi faces a new bizarre predicament in Nisemonogatari. One morning, he awakens to find himself bound and kidnapped by his girlfriend, Hitagi Senjougahara. She has imprisoned him to shield him from Deishuu Kaiki, a con artist who previously defrauded Hitagi's family and has now drawn Koyomi's sister, Karen, into a dangerous conflict. Upon receiving a desperate call from Karen, however, Araragi breaks free to attempt her rescue. Concurrently, Koyomi's other sister, Tsukihi, grapples with her own troubles. As two enigmatic women enter their lives, Koyomi struggles to discern their true motives while bracing for startling revelations concerning his family that are poised to emerge.
