Okitegami Kyouko no Bibouroku x Monogatari (original) (raw)

Read the light novel!

Ok to quickly summarize the advertisement here, basically, it's just Hanekawa cosplaying as Okitegami Kyouko from the Boukyaku Tantei Series, NisiOisiN's other series that takes place in the same universe as Monogatari.

I am reading the recent fan translations of the light novel as we speak, and I can say this with utmost confidence that MONOGATARI FANS SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO THIS SERIES.

You could even say that it's the point of this advertisement, so I don't think it's inappropriate to write about why you should read it in the place of a review for the advertisement.

That said, if you are a fan... of Monogatari, this series should be read ASAP, because of the implications this series presents for one of the most beloved characters in the franchise, Hanekawa Tsubasa.

This isn't a spoiler, but it is indeed a theory; a theory that holds much weight and hasn't yet been proven false- that Okitegami Kyouko and Hanekawa Tsubasa may very well be THE SAME PERSON.

That isn't good.
If this is true, Monogatari fans NEED to start taking note of this possibility NOW.

I beg of all of you, PLEASE READ THE LIGHT NOVEL. If the fan translator, Yoraikun, knows that this series is getting attention, he will continue translating more volumes in the future. He is the only one translating them so far and the light novels haven't been licensed yet, as that will probably only happen upon popular request (like HakoMari), or if an anime adaptation comes out and it proves to be popular.
Are we really going to wait for an anime to crack the code for possibly Monogatari's biggest mystery: "How did Hanekawa Tsubasa become Okitegami Kyuoko?"

Not to mention the light novel is very enjoyable to read on its own, and still offers the same thought-provoking content that Monogatari did, with a lot less emphasis on adolescence and sexuality, and more focused on solving mysteries and the reliance of one's memory. Read it!
