Bakemonogatari (化物語) is the manga adaptation of the light novel and anime series, illustrated and written by Oh! Great and based on the original story by Nisio Isin and character designs by VOFAN and Akio Watanabe.[1]

It began serialization in Weekly Shōnen Magazine’s 15th issue on March 14, 2018. Vertical Comics started publishing volumes of the manga in English on October 1, 2019.[2]

Plot

Special Editions

These volumes contain exclusive content such as a short manga titled "Bake 'mono' gatari" (化“者”語) by the artist, illustrations, and Hitagi Dish (ひたぎディッシュ), a short story in the first volume.[3] A second short story titled Hitagi Hermit Crab (ひたぎハーミットクラブ) is included in the second volume.[4] Mayoi Ghost is the fourth short story bundled in the 4th volume.[5] Short stories are only found in the Special Edition.

Reception

The first three volumes of the manga surpassed 1 million copies in print. Kodansha offices displayed a 13 meter (42.5 feet) banner in celebration of the milestone.[6] One of the reasons for its strong sales is the two bonuses included in the tankobon's special editions: newly-written short stories by Nisio Isin and illustration cards by various manga artists.[5]
