Monogatari is a Japanese light novel series written by Nisio Isin and illustrated by Vofan. The plot centers around Koyomi Araragi, a third-year high school student who survives a vampire attack and subsequently finds himself helping girls involved with a variety of apparitions, ghosts, beasts, spirits, and other supernatural phenomena.
The series began as three short stories serialized in Kodansha's Mephisto magazine between the September 2005 and May 2006 issues, which were later collected in a light novel volume published in Japan on November 2, 2006. Kodansha released 29 volumes in the series under its Kodansha Box imprint. Each of the 29 entries in the series share the common title suffix -monogatari (物語, lit. "story"). In 2015, Vertical licensed the novel series for English release.[1] The company began its paperback line with Kizumonogatari on December 15, 2015,[2] and later released the Bakemonogatari novels in three volumes: the first in December 2016, the second in February 2017, and the third in April 2017.[3] As of December 2020, the novels in the series up to Zoku Owarimonogatari have been translated.[4]
Nisio Isin has also penned a number of short short stories[a] and other related works set in the same fictional universe.

Notes
edit- ^ Short story in Japanese is Tanpen (短編), and Nisio uses the word Tantanpen (短々編), emphasizing the kanji for Short (短), to refer to the short stories he's been writing for the Monogatari series.[5]
- ^ In the afterword of Wazamonogatari and Nademonogatari Nisio speaks of these chapters as "zeroth episodes", so it is assumed the printing of the stories in this volume as "Episodes One, Two, and Three" were due to technical issues.
- ^ The Japanese e-book version of Bakemonogatari split the two volumes of the novels into three volumes.
- ^ The Amazon sales listing states "...the initial 33 stories plus 6 newly written short stories" (初期三十三編に六つの書き下ろし短々編を加えた), however "Koyomi Dictionary" (こよみディクショナリ) was not included despite being published before "Kokoro Shite" (心して). The delay of the release also meant that two of the new short stories, "Nadeko Past" (なでこパスト) and "Shinobu Future" (しのぶフューチャー), actually got published online before the physical book: in the end, 35 of the short stories of the book were previously released, and only 4 were actual new stories.
