Fantastic, tragic, and hilarious beginning to the Monogatari series

As any devoted fan will tell you, Kizumonogatari: Wound Tale has been a long time coming. It marks the first time the long-running Monogatari series has been officially translated into English, and although it's technically the third volume in the series to be published, it's the perfect place for both newcomers and folks familiar with SHAFT's anime adaptation alike to jump in. Even taken on its own, it's also simply a darn fine novel.Zack S.Fantastic, tragic, and hilarious beginning to the Monogatari series

The bottom line is that Kizumonogatari is a treat -- a perfect mixture of tragedy and comedy. Here, author NISIOISIN's love for wordplay and well-crafted characters with big personalities like Meme Oshino and Tsubasa Hanekawa that play perfectly off of each other is on full display, and the novel's occasional raunchier scenes manage to remain lighthearted and tongue-in-cheek without going overboard (which some of his later works fall victim to on occasion). It may initially take a few pages to get used to the writing style, but it adds a unique flair to the internal dialogues of the narrator Koyomi as he recounts his life-changing encounter with the legendary vampire Kissshot Acerolaorion Heartunderblade.
Concerning the quality of the new English translation, the wordplay doesn't always flow quite as smoothly as one might like it to -- but considering just how entrenched the author's jokes and puns are in the Japanese language, the translator did a pretty bang-up job on getting everything to be the best that it could have possibly been. It simply reads much, much better than any past unofficial translations I've seen. Vertical also did a wonderful job with the book in the graphic design department; it's a beautifully-designed edition, and the newly-commissioned cover art by series artist Vofan is stunning (and fret not, purists: the original illustration from the Japanese edition is included inside, as well!).
Overall, whether you're a Monogatari maniac or someone wondering what all the fuss is about, you couldn't ask for a better jumping-in point than here. With a little bit of luck, perhaps Vertical will decide to continue publication of the rest of the series -- and considering both the quality of the writing and of their translation job, I can only hope that they do.

El misterio resuelto: la Golden Week
Verified Purchase
Una pasada de novela recomendada para todos aquellos que quieran leer algo de literatura fantástica en inglés. Sirve de entrada perfecta a la saga, aunque sí ya eres fan de la misma te recomiendo leerla después de Nisemonogatari o incluso después de acabar las novelas correspondientes a la second season. En ese momento podrás apreciar mejor esta novela, cuya traducción por cierto, es mucho mejor de lo esperado. Lamentablemente por cuestiones de tiempo no todas las novelas de la saga están traducidas por la misma persona (Ko Ransom) y hay variaciones en la traducción. Pero suficiente con que nos las traducen y podemos disfrutar de ellas !Iván OjedaEl misterio resuelto: la Golden Week
