>Zenka Mermaid
Suō Zenka, 26 years old, half mermaid. Koyomis senpai
She ate the flesh of a mermaid and was about to die when she was saved. Becomes a half mermaid when she gets wet. Immortal (of course)
The story is about a drowning case at a river, Suō is investigating together with Koyomi

Nozomi Golem: Kizashima Nozomi, 29 yr old, when she died her grandparents affixed her soul to the clay/earth. Her looks/age haven't changed since then, so she still looks like a child. Investigates a case with Ararararagi where a Kamaitachi (sickle weasel) is attacking people coming home from Naoetsu high school.

Mitome Wolf: Saizaki Mitome, werewolf. Descendent of an ye olden wolf clan. Can completely control the wolf transformation. Excells in battle and smell, yet has stronger mental then vital faculties. Interested in Hanekawa since she(?) escorted her recently, so asks Koyomin about her past personality.

Seems Crab and Koyomi got back together in the last chapter.

Kouga Tsuzura, Human. The Hearsay Department's Section Chief. A Human. Can't see or interact with (touch) oddities (kaii), but peculiarly exceptional at communicating with other people. Kuwagata Hitata, another member of the Hearsay Department. Particulars unknown. Seems like she/he has a oddity living in his/her mind.
Seko, another member of the Hearsay Department. Particulars unknown.


Summary user can you work on these pages?

Please explain and no, I'm not even a Crabfag.

Nah, they break up again in the last chapter. They still love each other for the good times shared and shit though.

Might do a rough translation.

Shinobu is best anyway, who cares about crab.

...

...

PLEASE SOMEONE CONFIRM WHAT HAPPENS HERE.

>Araragi being surrounded by girls even at work
Lucky bastard.

Did they explain why though if they still love each other? Distance or something?

Thats sweet. I didn't want to see it end but I suppose if it had to this is a good way to do it.

>crabfags never shit on anyone
Yeah sure, exept for how crabfags where celebrating their victory assuming from the cover this would be a wedding story of Crab.

So what the fuck is Bat doing? Being connected together with another woman for the rest of your life with whom you share an intense relationship, kind of makes dating other woman difficult, assuming Bat is still hanging around in Rrgi's shadow.

"All good things come to an end"
Memegatari never ends.

What does it mean?

>no bat
>crab break up
Pretty bad. Hopefully next book will have more bat and more crab

Probably better off this way since Araragi is bound to end up with Bat in the end. Crab deserves someone that doesn't have a back-up plan after she dies from old age and is willing to start a family with her if she were to want one in the future. I really can't see her and Araragi starting one even if they got married since the whole Bat thing.

It just a prank bro.

Is bat kill?

>more crab
dont ask for the impossible user

If so there's officially no reason for me to keep up with this series

We got a new illustration of her so no.

She's on the cover of the next one isn't she?

>Crab and Araraaragi is worst "love story" ever written

>Tsukihi - got into college twice and dropped out twice, currently planning to study dance overseas
Total failure.
>Crab - works for a finance sector company overseas, broke up with Ararari twice and got back twice
>Last story has Araragi and Hitagi's third break up and they think about the future
Ok, this shit is getting retarded.
>Monkey - studies to become a sports doctor, works in a hospital part-time
Did she get suddenly smart or something? She wasn't particularly intelligent like Math.

She is. Those two willingly set up the connection again in Owari when it was broken, even though Araragi deluded himself into thinking that she was unhappy in his shadow

If bat dies, so will Araragi. So probably not.

user bat is immortal to begin with.

>Did she get suddenly smart or something? She wasn't particularly intelligent like Math.
Makes me think she did it after her "final" encounter with Numachi.

>mfw genuinely sad
Why can't I be happy even in my escapism?

What? this means they got back together? I'm confused

Yes. She's on the cover for thislatest novel, but she only shows up in the last four pages user.

>retarded
Your headcanon not working out does not make things retarded, son.

because this is not typical isekai LN user.

Araragi is basically , a hard subject for self-inserting and escapism.

Well it's sports medicine, not neurosurgery or anything.

That said I always figured Money was playing a lot dumber than she actually is. Naive, maybe, but not straight up stupid.

It's a typical harem LN though. Except they are not high schoolers (anymore). Still a silly pseudo-deep slice of life youkai-hunting novel.

Any word on Yotsugi?

This. Similarly, despite touting herself as being the lewdest, she's surprisingly pretty quiet about it outside of her interactions with Araragi.

>a man surrounded by beatiful females and supernatural adventures
>not getting along with one exeptionally shitty harem member makes it a grimdark destruction of escapist fantasies
Just stop it already.

>Okay then Crab and Araragi is no longer a thing.
They were never a thing user, only in your head.

Just let this end already.

>I love you
Well, with this ray of hope I can finally rest peacefully.

WHERE THE FUCK IS THE SUMMARY OF THE LAST CHAPTER FAGGOTS.

Rough summary:

Koyomi comes home from work. He notices Tsukihi has come home too (she was overseas before). He meets Hitagi, who has snuck into the house (she knew where the hidden key was because Koyomi didn't change its location). She has a big suitcase standing next to her and is wearing sunglasses, apparently just having come back from overseas. Hitagi tells him that she arranged her work stuff so that she doesn't have to work abroad anymore, can come back to Japan and live together with Koyomi again. Koyomi is taken by surprise (he planned on getting Gahara back to Japan too, but in a slightly different way) and takes off her sunglasses. Hitagi looks like she has cried a lot. Koyomi says that he has something to say too and Hitagi says that she'd cry even more if he started talking about a fourth breakup. Instead Koyomi says "I love you" and Hitagi answers with "Koyomi fascination".

how many more volume has been dragged since owari ( which is not ) ?

.forgive a english bad. the bat is kill. kiyomi along. loss hope. all is death.

>Araragi is home winding down from the aftermath of whatever events just went down in his life. Pondering all that and his situation with Hitagi.

>Walks into the living room to find Senjougahara just chilling on the sofa. Barely avoids falling the fuck down in shock.

>"Yo."
>"Don't give me "Yo". How'd you even get in here?"
>"You really should change the places where you hide your spare key, you know?"
>"You DO know there are multiple police officers living here, right?
>"I'm sorry, I apologize, I'm an idiot."

Never change Gahara-san.

I hope you're not lying. Because it's still heartbreaking, but nevertheless it's relieving.

Nisio, you fucking hack. Just write her out already. You know you're dying to.

Fourth, wasn't the last chapter going to be the third.

so they're back together

>4th
da hell? so unhealthy

And this is a break up how?

That's actually cute

So Araragi is still fucking in denial. Just be fucking true to yourself and your feelings man.

So they also get back together AFTER the third breakup? What the FUCK is going on in this show|?

>ray of hope
It's pretty much a goodbye, considering she said when Araragi and Crab start dating.
Arararagi being adult and new season starting can only imply this is indeed the end of the old gatari and begining of the new story.
Nisio wasn't lying when he ended monogatari, he ended them in a way of high school romace fantasy and now it's an adult fantasy detective.

>Koyomi says that he has something to say too and Hitagi says that she'd cry even more if he started talking about a fourth breakup. Instead Koyomi says "I love you" and Hitagi answers with "Koyomi fascination".
Wait I'm confused. They broke up and came back 3 times and now they're back again? What were the breakups for beyond having some random drama???

Literally wtf am I looking at here Nisio

i love you

>So they also get back together AFTER the third breakup

Yes, it seems like they are already back together when the events in the last chapter occur.

I can't read nip, but I can confirm that the line in parentheses is "Koyomi fascination." So I guess I'll choose to believe you.

people break up and get together all the time. prince william broke up with kate middleton like 3 times before finally getting together

So it looks like the third break up happened in the past and they already got back together. So false alarm I guess?

So they are back together

It's a long-distance relationship, 3 breakups over the course of 5 years is not hard to imagine.

>breakup 3 times
>get back together anyway
>Crabfags were BTFO they said
>Crab lost the rrrgibowl the said
Not even a Crabfag but holy shit THE RIDE NEVER ENDS!

There's four aren't there? Or did Karen move out and make a love nesthive? for her and Araragi

Since Hitagi seems to have been working abroad, it seems like they had a long distance relationship and/or not much time for one another because of work.

>Crab and Araragi is no longer a thing

CRABFAGS BTFO

Everyone hear that? That's the sound of shitposters from the last two threads being BTFO

Time to go back to the previous thread and chuckle at all the CRABFAGS BTFO posts.

Nisio is still hack though.

HOLY SHIT IM MAD

How could Nisio do this?

this. This author is one of the best hack writer i have seen in year, mostly due to i have a shit taste.

An adult fantasy detective really is a shit i need. Technically i can say that my maturation going along with this series.

Are you here for the waifufaggotry and posting ebin memes? Three break ups are fucking stupid in the first place.

Stop giving crabfags false hope with fake translations.

Three, really. RRRG isn't a real police officer.

The last breakup might just happen this chapter. We believed that their third breakup was happening in the last but apparently it can be their fourth. But seriously, Araragi really needs to get his head out of his ass.

It's fine. We're getting a Bat end in the future anyways. That much is guaranteed.

>fours times
Talk about being stuck in life.

She was talking about fourth break up, you know.

I would picture the break ups being more like 'let's take a break for a bit' than either of them thinking they were ending it for real.

>"Koyomi fascination".

I guess it all depends on whether or not he can arrest people and/or oddities. Also given;
>Karen - became a policewoman, works in Public Safety division, lives alone
It may only be papa/mamaragi are the cops in the house. Dammit Araragi, move out. Unless Tsukihi lives in ragi's house. That's also an option

Yea, but then he said he loves her. They're back on.

So THAT'S what he meant by "shall never come apart".
Fuck you, Nisio.

I'm going back to the previous threads and having a sensible chuckle

this, people do this shit all the time, especially high school sweethearts who don't have any experience with relationships.

Is this a joke? I hope they break up in the next volume.

I like how these career choices reflect the stuff from earlier on in their lives

>Karen - became a policewoman, works in Public Safety division, lives alone
Pretty obvious

>Tsukihi - got into college twice and dropped out twice, currently planning to study dance overseas
Doesn't have any direction in life without somebody else's dream to help with as discussed in Owari pt 3

>Crab - works for a finance sector company overseas, broke up with Ararari twice and got back twice
Falling into the same general career direction as her father, possibly with work eating into her private life. Makes sense since he was her only parental figure for a while.

Cat - worked for non-profit orgs overseas for a long time, now known as Jeanne d'Arc; famous and dangerous
Obvious

>Monkey - studies to become a sports doctor, works in a hospital part-time
Likely because of the deep impression Numachi left on her

>Snake - mangaka with 3 serialized manga
Obvious

It's the exact opposite of how they first got together, when Hitagi said I love you and Koyomi said Senjougahara fascination.

It's like poetry.

So no wedding huh? Just that they broke up three times and now they're back on.

Can't wait for her to die of old age so Bat can take the stage once and for all.

Can't quit the Araragi dick. i'd assume getting fucked by him is like getting fucked by a machine from fuckingmachines due to vampire regeneration.

I don't know what to fucking believe anymore.

yep, pretty much how it always works irl.

Nisio just go to the bat end already, what were these three breakups about.

Thank you Einstein.

So they just have an on again off again relationship?

>29 years old
>still looks like a child

I ASSUME that she's supposed to be 29 years old but died as a child? Definitely could have worded that better my nigga.
