[IdanaHamz]

[Fzsin]

Let’s learn to count! 1. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. oof where is 2-24

 

[nyaasar]

SHAFT did a great work with this franchise(?)

 

[bastek66]

@nyaasar Shaft did their own thing just like Oh Great is.
@Fzsin Hatigarm Scans pulled out from MD some time ago. You can read on their site or any scraper.

 

[Bravo_X8]

Can i start this without watching the anime ?

 

[KirbyMorph]

Ya done fucked up now.

 

[satoneh]

such a shitty manga
watch the anime and read the LN, this is NOT monogatari lol

 

[satoneh]

@bastek66 they most definitely didnt ive read the novels and can verify lol why uu cappin ??

 

[satoneh]

@Bravo_X8 This isnt the source material and its not even how monogatari actually is you'd be suprised

 

[bastek66]

@satoneh I read first 20 chapters and I think it's great on it's own, especially stellar art. OhGreat was perfect choice for artist for this adaptation.

 

[deathpad]

Yo, what manga this cover belong to

 

[Auraculum]

Can anyone give me a rundown on the differences between the manga and anime? Just general things.

 

[satoneh]

@bastek66 Yeah the art is good im not saying it isnt, what I am saying is that this isnt monogatari. If you read this before monogatari expecting whats here you'll be very disappointing... Or happy you dropped this manga and watched the anime instead beacuse this is not how nioisin intended the characters to play out

 

[satoneh]

@Auraculum Oh! Great is an incredible visual artist, no one could deny that. But I do not think the manga adaptation is in good hands with him at the helm. Why? For starters, this scene (which I believe took place in the late 60's page wise) from the first chapter. It's an absolute atrocity.

Let's put aside how logistically absurd it is for a moment.

Let's put aside the question of how a girl with no weight could possibly snap a metal railing, even in a dilapidated building, simply by leaning against it.

Let's put aside the question of how Senjougahara could possibly be a floor above Araragi WHENEVER HE IS LITERALLY GUIDING HER THROUGH THE CRAM SCHOOL FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME.

No, putting that all aside, the primary issue here is the way it completely abandons the characterization that the original light-novels and anime so adamantly established.

The primary intention of Hitagi Crab was to set up a world where idiosyncrasies plague characters in the form of aberrations, and the way the characters who inhabit that world come to terms and cope with said aberrations. The main takeaway from the first few arches has always been that you cannot save someone, you can only help guide them to the path to save themselves. Araragi was never a white-knight and Senjougahara was never a princess in a castle. After all, even an act of kindness or generosity will be perceived as an act of hostility, right?

Having the very first chapter culminate in a terribly disappointing scene where Senjougahara nonsensically ends up an entire floor ahead of Araragi despite having never entered the cram school prior only to end up, whoops, falling into the palm of his hand before turning a faint pink and thanking him like some sort of savior.... And then having a Araragi give the "you save yourself" speech in COMPLETE IRONY after that--

It leaves such a bad taste in my mouth.

I've seen the manga receiving praise, and I'll probably be downvoted and disagreed with; but, really--

This is just bad, guys. Oh! Great really missed the mark and misunderstood the framework of the story.

 

[Mhmharemgood]

Will just bakemonogatari be made into a manga or other parts of monogatari?

 

[bastek66]

@Mhmharemgood Recent chapters are adapting Kizu, OhGreat switched order compared to how LNs were published.

 

[A-tan]

@satoneh I agree, but I also think this is just a different interpretation. We have the novels and anime, the later doing it's best to adapt the former. This is just different in the sense is really an adaptation and not trying to be as accurate as the anime was.

 

[Wept]

anybody know any LN reading sites?

 

[Ekfreet]

Bruh. This is some next fucking level quality art.

 

[SemiNoodle]

Does this have the toothbrush scene from the anime? Uhhh, just asking for a friend.
