@satoneh, in the end its all about perspective. A lot of people think this is a great manga adaptation, either if they watched or not, read the novels or not. And a few like yourself that didn't like it because of certain details. All adaptation wont be as good as the original, take LOTR as example, it will never beat the books even if they are considered master pieces. There will be missing parts or wrong interpretations and Just the fact that we're reading a Nisio Isin in English already makes this a ''bad adaptation''. What about the parts where we understand shit because we need to know the kanji references? it sucks but that wont stop us from reading, correct? I like it and that's what matters to me.

@fumu_fumu This is a loose adaptation of the original novels, and it seems it will "adapt" everything. If you want a faithful adaptation, watch the anime. If you already have watched the anime and want more Monogatari, the novels have a crapload of easter eggs not included in the anime neither the manga (which is so far behind it may as well take a decade or two to "adapt" the last arc animated).

@fumu_fumu The novels? I recomend buying them (the writing makes it worth the price), but if you want to pirate... there is a guy in nyaa that has nearly every LN officially released in english in a torrent.

The manga? Again, better to buy it, but there are other alternatives for the first 4 volumes, the ones missing here (sadly, the translation is actually pretty far behing).

I've probably already said this before, but a gateway drug into anime bullshit philosophy. Art is hype, plot is hype, "plot" is hype, fights are hype, romance is hype, the only thing that isn't hype is the L- lemonade, yeah, that. It's played for laughs though, at his expense.

Arararagi been smoking that good stuff, but he ain't the most mentally sound so not everything's the fun kind of crazy, and that continues into the rest of the series, so if there's something that turns you off here, its by and large still gonna be there 5 books down the line.

What happened to the original translator posting chapters? Why have they stopped? I want to finish reading this manga!

Certainly a smoother experience than the jarring camera angles and flashing kanji cards (that get lost in translation regardless) from the animation.

Most infuriating thing about this is that feels like this would be coolest thing ever, if I could stop comparing it to the LN and think of it as its own thing

I can't believe I've seen a nigga commenting "this ain't Monogatari" like nigga you have no right to decide whether or not that is Monogatari just because you don't like this version. I didn't even mention that unlike the anime, the manga has the scenario backed by NisioIsin himself. How can you this ain't Monogatari at this point? Tf is you talking about?

What makes the manga exceptional alongside the anime and the LN is that even though both LN and manga are made by the same author, there's a big difference in interpretation between each one of these versions. The manga feels like a modern reinterpretation of his own work. That's the same story but presented in a so different angle that it makes it super interesting to read even tho you've already watched the anime.

I've always said that Oh!Great is a phenomenal illustrator but a lame ass writer. That's why I'm extremely happy he finally made a manga with a phenomenal story writer. Now that's what I call peak fiction
