| I heard October, but this is even better! Live Araragi LIVE!!! |
Grouchio said: It was announced, I believe with the first 40 pages of the Oogi Formula arc (1/3 I think), in the October issue of Bessatsu Shounen Magazine (out now) but the hatsubai date is definitely 9/9 for the novel.I heard October, but this is even better! Live Araragi LIVE!!! |
| end is near everyone end is near :/ |
| Any more news? |
| Still can't see it listed for sale yet but Koyomimonogatari took forever too... |
| The cover art for volume 1 is the tv end card. http://i.imgur.com/ojD3sR0.jpg |
| Still hasn't shown up on amazon, looks like not 9/9? |

| Can't wait for this... |
| It is a two parter, part two next year I assume: Owarimonogatari (上 up) part I Owari I - Ougi formula Owari II - Sodachi riddle Owari III - Sodachi Lost Owari (下 down) part II Owari IV - Ougi dark So final season won't be done until at least next year. Zokuowarimonogatari could also be two parts. |
| I just found a summary for Ougi Formula!!! Vague yes, but here goes nothing! So if the meeting is after neko white, my guess of riddle and lost being right after these events might be correct. Hanekawa is still there so it is before Otori. I don't know if this is also the same classroom where Arararagi opened up to Ougi about Mayoi. |

Zokuowarimonogatari could also be two parts. You didn't read the b/w page I've posted up there? Owari 下 will be release around the end of this year, which means the release date is still 2013. Unless Nisio screwed up and couldn't meet the deadline. |

| ^^^ I read it but I'm not sure I believe it after Koyomi came out in May and Owari 上 is coming out in October, perhaps he has finished it already and they are just waiting a month or two for it to come out??? Sounds awfully soon for 下 after 上 but I guess Nisioisin did write 12 novels in 12 months one time... I guess I'll believe it when my order has a tracking number! |
| Release date is now October 22 now on Amazon.co.jp |
| Okay, so Owarimonogatari is seperated in two books and the release date of book 1 is October 22. Any information about the release date of the second book? Still 2013? |

yukaru00 said: It will be released by the end of this year, if nothing happens to Nishio. Sounds good. So, I assume that the first Owarimonogatari book won't take place after Gaen stabbed Araragi's heart but rather around the time of Ougi's introduction. Damn, guess we have to wait for the second Owari book to know what happens after Koyomimonogatari. |

Damn, guess we have to wait for the second Owari book to know what happens after Koyomimonogatari. That was the first part of the first Owari volume, with introduction to some new characters and yet another case. The later second and third part of the book are still unknown. |

| Apparently, this is how Sodachi looks like: http://i.imgur.com/UpfjpOX.jpg And Hanekawa in Owari: http://i.imgur.com/jJsGL7A.jpg (Waiting for summaries...) |
| SUMMARIES HERE! 2ch spoilers are out. I don't know if its real but they're saying lost and riddle are the continuation of formula. Araragi continues to be the narrator. Riddle Lost This is glorious. Can't wait for the return to the present. Hitagi I swear will shine... |
| someone has translated first 2 chapters of Ougi Formula! http://90percentzebra.wordpress.com/2013/10/12/ougi-formula-001/ |
| I am a slow reader. Just started reading chapter 2 of Ougi Formula. |
| My copy just left Japan today so I won't get it for a while yet, sigh... |
Xinception said: Well, introducing a new character at this point in the game? That's rare. I think Sodachi's introduction might be used to show the fact that Koyomi's an unreliable narrator, suggested by someone from the Monogatari Thread in Animesuki. I'm wondering what was the cause of this unreliability, if it might be a major plot point. Amnesia? Long-term Memory Lost? One thing's for certain though is that the letter Sodachi gave to Hitagi is very important to the plot, it might support the Koyomi's unreliability hypothesis. If Nisio goes down this road, I better re-read all the novels to find small points that he could develop into major mind-fucks, like in Zaregoto. Lol, are you this user: NotVeryMuchAPro? Read the reply just below your post in Animesuki. |
| Have to check twitter and see if Japanese fans have noted that the color of Owarimonogatari part 1 is wrong. It isn't red enough, it is almost salmon in color, strange... |
| So, anyone of you finished reading the book? |
| Owarimonogatari may even end up being three novels! In the last line of the atogaki, Nisioisin says he's thinks he can try hard to avoid doing a middle volume between the first and last ones but that tells me he actually thinks it will need a middle volume... so Monogatari may not be over for a while yet: このあと物語は下巻へと続くわけですけれど、上巻と下巻との間に中巻が挟まらないように頑張りたいと思います。 I love Hanekawa in Sodachi Lost! I thought we might have mostly seen the last of her so it was great to see so much of her again. And man, katakana is not just for Shaft cutscenes anymore... with stars, hard to read but fun! Nisioisin has done it again... can't wait for part 2... and 3 :) |

| That 100% full mark. Araragi is a fucking genius. |

From what I witnessed, Owarimonogatari creates a new subplot by introducing a new character rather than answering any main questions or resolving obscurities/mysteries (unless I'm missing something). I think Owari part 2 and Zukuowari are not enough for Nisio to write a proper finale showdown + ending. Heck, I can also see that Zukuowari will also be segmented. Also, did you finish reading it? : P |
| I have done a quick read through to the end but I skimmed so I need to do a proper, slower read of it to get all the details, enjoy the Nisioisin mastery. I'm always impatient and spoil myself on the end of chapter/arc happenings... |
| hpulley, did you get anything out of Koyomimonogatari BTW? |
Grouchio said: What do you mean? Any overriding theme or clues or something? Like most I noticed the last couple of pages of Koyomi Dead more than anything else, especially the last few lines...hpulley, did you get anything out of Koyomimonogatari BTW? |

| How does it feel being wrapped around by Ougi hands behind you? Damn Araragi... |
| http://i.imgur.com/wP0HLH9.jpg Came across this today. It says... Hitagi Salamander! |
| So when's the next release? |
| In the end, Owari got that 中巻 volume, and planned to be released on 31 January 2014. Nisio has screwed up again. Sneak peek on cover featuring Gaen. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BbdK-mRCQAAX58Z.jpg |

Will it be the last volume? Will Monogatari ever end? |

He is not the kind of writer that likes to prolong a franchise when it is time to put down the curtain. Besides Monogatari, didn't he has another series he's currently working on? Densetsu series I supposed. |

| Yep, as expected. And I think extending Owari is a good decision because Ougi Dark and Koyomi book alone wouldn't be enough to wrap everything up IMO. Betting that Zokuowari is also going to be a trilogy. Anyway, any information about the plot of the upcoming novel? |
| Yeah, it will reveal what had happened After Oni and before the end of Neko Shiro. source: http://bookclub.kodansha.co.jp/kodansha-box/topics/nishio/ |
| Jeez, finally! But what is up with the order of the books... while I want to know what happens there, it's the time from that certain day in March in Koyomimonogatari and the start of Hanamonogatari that we really need to know about, right??? Will that be in Owari Down or Zokuowari?? |
