I just started reading “Bakemonogatari” now, and it obviously started talking about the past arc from the beginning; is it okay to read it from here?

SHONEN MAGAZINE COMICS Bakemonogatari Volume 1 Original Work by Nishio Ishin Manga by Oh! Great

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx17

It’s okay.

It’s just that kind of person originally.

2: Japan Otaku Reviews

The part about the past that we don’t know is included because it’s the same in the original work.

3: Japan Otaku Reviews

The past arc can be read in about volume 8 of the manga.

9: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>3

Is it like Ninja Slayer?

If you Google it, the order will come up, but being a fan of Ohkubo and trying to keep up with all the text is tough.

4: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even though it’s the first episode, the past story comes up because that’s how it is in the original work…

6: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>4

It’s like Star Wars, isn’t it?

5: Japan Otaku Reviews

It was after the past arc ended that it came out…

7: Japan Otaku Reviews

It starts by hinting at an unknown backstory from the original work.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews

Also, there’s another story from the past that will be inserted!

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

What did the original fans think about the big-breasted girl with glasses who seems to have some issues…?

11: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

You can understand manga just by reading manga… or rather, if you’ve read the original work, it might get confusing, so it’s fine to just read it as it is.

12: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>11

Well, if you know the original work too well, it might make you think, “That element isn’t in the original! Are they really bringing that into the story?!”

13: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I love the past reminiscences in dramaturgy.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews

The past section of this manga version is seriously interesting.

Everything about eroticism, comedy, and battles is amazing.

15: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>14

The heroine is able to draw muscular old men and create missing parts as much as she wants, so she’s super inspired, right…?

16: Japan Otaku Reviews

The comic adaptation by Okubo covers roughly up to volume 3 of the original story, but it prematurely introduced characters from volume 17 and concluded it.

Ah, so you’re not planning to go that far… which made me a bit lonely.

17: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

If you attach an original work? → It will go out of control, right?

Just when I thought, it’s a strange harmony when a strongly unique original work is paired with a strongly unique author.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>17

It feels like Bio Org Trinity is a failure.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews

Dramaturgy becomes infatuated with Hanekawa and turns into a slave, or the guillotine cutter was really a saint.

There are all sorts of information coming out, so if you feel like it, I hope you’ll also check out the original work.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think it was good that there was a huge foundation like the original novel and anime because Bioogue turned out to be quite a big deal.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if a 1 meter width of the butt means the actual width of the butt is 1 meter, not just a 1 meter hip circumference…

21: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s just that the goodness of reading through the entire original work and enjoying it doesn’t come across.

If you enjoyed the manga, I hope you’ll read the original work and then revisit the manga.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews

Mr. Okumur’s story gives the impression of being something else, but the original work is somewhat enjoyable for a while, although it starts to feel like “this isn’t it” from a certain point on. However, I don’t think his manga skills are low.

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>24

It’s really interesting when read as a single story.

There are many parts that fall apart when read through from start to finish, but…

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>75

The demon is normally well-organized and interesting… it might be because it’s a short series.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

Araragi Blade! Isn’t it the Araragi Blade!

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>26

(Were there such radiant blade techniques in the original work…?)

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>29

It’s buried between the lines.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

Personally, I think you’ll enjoy it more if you read the manga after watching the original work or the anime.

Because I couldn’t keep up with Tenjou Tenge or Air Gear from the middle, but I was able to enjoy this manga until the end.

I think it’s because I’m familiar with the original work that even when the setting suddenly changes or the story takes a strange direction, I can understand that (oh, this is supposed to be a gag).

I think there are moments when you might wonder, “What was the meaning behind that enigmatic setting?” if you don’t know that.

28: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Honestly, I think Maikino was a better match with Ogure than Nishio.

Therefore, while our good parts matched well, our bad parts also came together and ended up flying off in an unexpected direction, which is Bio-Orb.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

Araragibureido is doing silly things.

Araragi-san makes good use of being an unreliable narrator, especially when it comes to himself, in this proper scene.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s amazing how there are incredibly unique depictions in the manga, yet the main story remains unchanged.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>31

(Are you not straying from the original work? The lifespan wait is quickly picked up and crushed.)

32: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel like the ongoing series is suddenly jumping in from the first episode… but I remember Air Gear being a bit more mature.

34: Japan Otaku Reviews

The “Haigen Miko” I’m currently playing started off as a bad gray! But around “Kamaikidan,” it started to become consistently interesting.

39: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>34

At first, I thought, “What is this two-headed heroine?” and I had no idea what it wanted to achieve, but…

I’ve come to enjoy it quite a bit since it settled into a format based on dance for yokai extermination.

51: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>39

I think the teacher’s talk seems incoherent, but there might be a fairly solid backbone in their thoughts. However, they neglect the effort to convey that to the readers, which makes it feel a bit confusing.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t Araragi-san looking really cool catching Tsukihi-san who was blown away by the crab?

37: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>35

I’m cutting my cool scenes again and talking about it…

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

A strange connection with Mr. Ōkubo, a big fan of JoJo, who partnered with someone who was also drawing a spin-off.

So did something happen that matched with it?

40: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

The battle around the Araragi Blade was cut from both the original work and the anime, you know…

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

The story of Bakemonogatari also began with a summary of what had happened so far…

42: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

From Gahara’s perspective, it might not have been a terrifying experience to have a secret known by the infamous Araragi, who is known for his violence…

46: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>42

So I do my best to intimidate with a stapler.

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>42

But since he was good-looking, I was secretly doing a fist pump.

62: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>47

In the beginning, you can’t tell from the narration that he used to be a bit of a troublemaker and is now a solitary handsome guy with a hint of shadow!

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>62

It used to be bright, but now I’m a dark, lonely person with a complex about my sister-like feminine face, and I guess I had to change my way of speaking like Araragi…

55: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>42

It’s the usual Ogure protagonist getting tossed around by a tough woman… Huh?

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

There might have been many works like Haruhi where the timeline is all over the place.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think that both Saru-sensei and Okabe-sensei are monsters, as their drawing skills remain high even if their lines have become somewhat stiff.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

The way the manga exaggerates things is outrageous, but if I think back on it, the battles in the anime were also quite exaggerated.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>45

But the most exaggerated one was Sabi Hyouhei from Katanagatari, right?

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>45

The company often creates promotional videos that give the impression that the shaft is like that…

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

I got my secrets discovered by a legendary delinquent! But actually, there’s a kind-hearted gap! It feels like an introduction to a shoujo manga…

49: Japan Otaku Reviews

The unreliable narrator is so bad it’s no better than other Nishio characters.

50: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

– A legendary delinquent who is extremely famous in the school district.

– It is rumored that he single-handedly destroyed a biker gang.

My sister’s activities are a degraded copy of Araragi-san from middle school.

Up until that point, it is described in the original work, so if you read between the lines, it would turn out this way.

52: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>50

In terms of attractive portrayal, Kamihara is treated like a star level that eclipses even at the time of the original work…

53: Japan Otaku Reviews

I love it when someone in a train running at the same speed while I’m riding my bicycle says, “Isn’t that Araragi-san?”

54: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Ms. Gahara is taken to an abandoned building after a local delinquent learns her secret.

56: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

When I think about it carefully, starting from the original work where it says, “There were various things with vampires during spring break,” and then not providing any detailed explanation about that vampire arc is quite bold, isn’t it?

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

Tsubasa Cat (Kagen, Cat Black, Cat White, Shuchuu) is seriously long!!! That’s what I thought.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

Both the Araragi Blade and the Bat Guard do not exist in the original work.

Can you even summon a familiar, Araragi?

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>59

Since we can create phenomena unrelated to vampires, we should be able to create at least bat familiars…

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

The regeneration speed that doesn’t notice being cut is gross!

63: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

If I may be greedy, I wish Gray would seriously depict characters like Euler and Kaiki.

Absolutely compatible.

65: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t Mr. Barbed Wire strong for breaking the spirit of this justice monster and making them talk about human strength?

69: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

>>65

Well, even if they’re trying to avoid responsibility, it’s really too much for a teacher to vote for a student as the culprit.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>69

I absolutely hate the fact that I never call them ‘teacher.’

Moreover, the other person is living happily while Euler is falling into despair, and only one person understands this.

66: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I showed a little bit of Kaiki, but the animation has incredible intensity.

68: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

In the manga, Gahara-san feels even more like a girl appropriate for her age and she’s cute.

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>68

I think the original work feels that way deep down.

And because of that, I am not allowed to be a storyteller.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s better to have an original work, after all.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

When I turn Senjougahara into a storyteller, the people around her become crazy, but since I like her, I end up becoming the brave heroine who tries hard to get along with them…

Isn’t my boyfriend amazing? Hey, isn’t he amazing? I’m bragging a bit.

73: Japan Otaku Reviews

The current one I’m watching has battle scenes that feel more like they’re just dancing, so I haven’t been reading it much. What’s it like?

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>73

That’s how it is.

77: Japan Otaku Reviews

The novel has an unreliable narrator.

The anime is from Ragi’s perspective, so a lot of the information that’s in view has been cut out.

The manga depicts what those around thought.

When I saw the comparison discussion of the three works, I was a little convinced.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

The current ones just have all the girls not being cute.

80: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>79

I mean, other than Veto-chan and Doku-chan, the characters don’t really stand out; it’s just their appearance.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

I really love how Air Gear gradually turns into a world domination vibe through hobbies and the absurd science that appears everywhere.

I prefer stories that don’t have an original work, but I’ve never been agreed with.
