>Will be released in 3 volumes.
>First volume in Dec 2016
We did it guys
sure I can't wait for all the translation to be gone from every single site and having to wait years for them to get up to par with all the volumes
>>137382156
I sincerely hope that Vertical spells Crab as "Senjougahara" and not "Senjyougahara". It's always bugged me whenever I saw that.
>>137382156
>3 volumes
Why?
>>137382156
I fucking love Vertical. They've been doing a fantastic job with manga and helping in usher the golden age of localizations.
>>137382285
Why?
>>137382285
Why would that romanization bug you? It's phonetically correct.
They did very well with my Gundam: The Origin manga.
Hey guys. Can you help me out here? I'm trying to find this scene with Nadeko where she throws a party and there's like balloons all over the room. Araaragi is also alone in the room with her and she starts taking off her socks.
>>137382156
Yeah, your self-insert harem garbage is finally spreading to the West.
>>137382887
Literally last weeks episode, are you retarded?
>>137383078
What? What monogatari series is airing right now?
>>137383144
Koyomimonogatari
>>137383159
Oh, OK. Sorry for being a dumbass and thank you very much.
Depending on how much importing would cost me I might buy it, I wanted to read them.
>>137382156
Lucky Americans. I feel envy.
>>137382156
>LN
>3 volumes
>>137382156
Well fuck. Good to see that the series is getting actual translations.
>>137382566
> It's phonetically correct.
Holy shit, retarded Americans get me every time. Phonetically correct transcript of her name is Sendžógahara. Try to live with that.
>>137383564
I hope they are testing things out for Horizon on the Middle of Nowhere.
>>137383564
It'd kind of make sense considering Bake consists of Crab, Monkey and Snail but I'm guessing that's Vertical's line of thinking but I really would've liked to see it all in one gigantic volume.
>>137383622
>LN
>gigantic
>>137383621
>Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere
How many volumes was that again?
I'd like to eventually get the Strike Witches novels by Yen Press, with the new season coming out sometime next year it'd be great if we got the original novels and maybe some others like the one about Hanna in Afrika.
maybe I will be able to buy the entire series before I'm 40. If I'm lucky.
>>137383564
>>137383622
novel 1 is hitagi crab and mayoi snail, novel 2 is suruga monkey and nadeko snake, novel 3 is tsubasa cat
>>137383614
You have a very narrow definition of phonetically correct.
>>137383614
But ž isn't a letter in the English alphabet.
>>137382285
>>137382566
>>137383614
>>137383946
>>137384032
I hope they'll anglicize her name to Jennifer or something ridiculous, just to see you guys rage about it.
>>137382243
I'm sure they will print more, considering the success of Kizu.
>>137382566
>It's phonetically correct.
Uh, no. "Senjou" sounds compeltely different than "senjyou", which is just wrong.
>3 novels
I love seeing Bake getting an English release (and I'll probably get it), but isn't this pushing it a little?
Even the Japanese release was only 2 novels.
>>137382285
>Senjyougahara
Well, yeah, that would be an instant no-buy.
There are established standards to romanising Japanese names and they should abide by them.
Why they sold kizu first?
>>137384964
Nisio told them to.
>>137384964
>We did not decide the order. NISIOISIN did. We are only following his lead. His team in Japan is in charge of the design and some of the editorial direction also. We understand that this series is special to many fans, but it belongs to NISIOISIN and we will follow his interests as best as we can to help make this title a success for him.
>>137385062
>>137385125
Thanks lads
From now until December you could learn Japanese to read Monogatari in its original language. No excuse really
What did they do about Japanese pans in kizu?
>>137384964
>>137385125
It kinda makes sense as Kizu is a more accessible gateway to the series, especially for Westerners. Not sure if that's what Nisio would be thinking about though.
>>137385125
Geez, it's like the guy is some frigging yakuza boss. How many authors have a dedicated design/editorial team, where he calls the shots? Not where I live anyway.
>>137382156
I guess 3 volumes means splitting so Monkey + Snake are together
It would be about the same length as Kizu, the other 2 would be roughly 30% shorter.
>>137382156
I can't fucking wait: maybe if all this sold well they will do the rest of zaregoto
>>137384248
sen-jo
sen-geeoh

Don't get greedy now, you'll jinx it!
>>137383213
Where do I watch it?
>>137382566
Kill yourself.
>B-b-but it's the official romanization by Japanese themselves!
Yeah, and they're infamous for their engrish. Your point?Don't ask the sparrow how the eagle soars.
>>137382156
>We did it guys
We didn't do anything, though.
>>137384812
maybe the translation wouldn't be enough for two volumes as it got too long?
>>137382243
you're implying that we had every other novel translated. So far, I've seen Kizu and Neko Kuro completely translated and the others have parts of them translated, so it's not that bad of a deal. You can also buy them in the original Japanese if you're that desperate to read them.
>>137389499
I'm neither american nor I know japanese, now I'll never read them, thanks
Fantastic news, hopefully the bring the whole series over.
>>137383033
>>137385312
why the fuck would you self insert as Koyomi?. Also, stop samefagging.
>>137389523
>I'm neither american
And?. I don't live in the US too and I know how to read in English.
>>137389629
Maybe he is a vampire lolicon.
>>137382156
can't wait for the epic memes and professional 'localization' xD
>Volumes 2 and 3 being released one month apart
Why even bother splitting them up?
>>137389759
$$$$$$$$$$$
>>137389759
so I assume you didn't read the 'tentatively' in the tweet?. They are saying the other two volumes don't have a concrete date of release. They could be pushed back.
>>137389759
How many pages is Bake?
Meh I won't buy it, I only bought Kizu since i won't see the movie.
Glad they picked up Blame though.
>>137382156
>December 2016
It takes that long?
>>137389759
>late 2016, early 2017
At this pace we won't survive to see the end of it.
>>137385306
>How many authors have a dedicated design/editorial team
pretty much every single published author ever
>>137389981
Sure they'll have an editor but not their own personal one. Nisioisin is special probably because he writes so damn fast.
>>137389759
Might prefer not to have any volumes even thicker than Kizu
>>137389759
Both Bake volumes are over 400 pages long. The only other volume with over 400 pages is Koyomimonogatari, in fact separating Bake in three makes it around 280 pages long which is just the average of Second Season.
I bet Koyomimonogatari would be separated in two if they ever get there.
>>137389816
900
>>137382156
Cool. When the pre-orders go up. I am gonna p4re-order the fuck out of that.

After how they butchered Kizu with how they used "Kissshot Acerolaorion Heartunderblade" I will never buy another book from them.
Dropped it after the first sentence.
>>137396778
>this autism
Can you drop these threads too?
Can Nisioisin churn out novels faster than Brandon Sanderson?
>>137396778
whats wrong exactly?
>>137397949
Which looks better?
Kissshot Acerolaorion Heartunderblade
Kiss-shot Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade
The hyphenated version is what was used in all the subs I watched. I can't handle reading the smashed together names since I'm so autistic.
>>137384812
Vertical managing to outjew Aniplex on this franchise.
>>137397949
Nothing. The adaptation was done really well in general, actually.
>>137398024
They both look stupid because it's a stupid name. You said it yourself, you're used to what you're used to. Doesn't make it better.
>>137397682
He wrote all twelve volumes of Katanagatari, one per month, through the year of 2007. He's written two books a month before.
>>137389523
You know places like bookdepository and amazon ship (mostly) globally right?
I live in south america and got my copy of kizu the week it was released.
>>137383260
You don't have to be american to order books online.
>>137382156
WOW can't wait to read all the shit that I watched on my PC again :^)
>>137396778
But that's literally how Nisio wrote her name. It's the same way VOFAN spells it on the artwork
Pretty excited to see Vofan's new art on the covers. Not a fan of them splitting 2 volumes into 3 though.
>>137382477
because they're counting on suckers to pay $30 for something that should cost $5
>>137398766
They are two of the lengthiest volumes, separating them into three makes them as long as most other volumes.
I don't understand, is it getting dubs or just "official" subs?
>>137398829
The light novels are getting translated
>>137398874
Thank you.
>>137398780
Meh, I'll buy them anyway. Translations of bake have had little to no progress in years and I found the translation of kizu to be better than the bakatsuki one
>>137398617
Prove nisio is a woman. or a man, really. I'm interested in their gender.
>>137382566
Because "Senjyougahara" is designed to be useful for the Japanese to translate back into kana while "Senjougahara" is designed to give westerners a good idea of how her name is pronounced and an English release targets westerners.
>>137399873
That doesn't make sense to me.
When you type 'jo' you get じょ
When you type 'jyo' you also get じょ
>>137388420
There are plenty of people on /a/ who bought copies of Kizu and made Vertical think that bringing over more of the series would be profitable. So yes, we did it.
>>137398389
>I live in south america and got my copy of kizu the week it was released.
Where the fuck did you order it? I ordered my copy from Book Depository in like October and got it on the first week of fucking February.
>>137399873
There's no romanization system where someone thought it through a design and decided jyo was a good idea for じょ. It's either jo or zyo.
>>137399660
Nisio is a man. "Her" refers to Kissshot.
>>137399873
Kunrei-shiki romanization would give zyō.
Hepburn would give jō.
No standard romanization scheme would give jyou.
>>137399239
NisioisiN's writing is shit and you should feel bad for supporting that hack
>>137400008
Please do not mix in warupro in this, as 'jixyo' gets you じょ as well.
>>137398311
>He wrote all twelve volumes of Katanagatari, one per month, through the year of 2007. He's written two books a month before.
Wasn't there a rumor that he wrote the second novel of Zaregoto in like 3 days?
>>137400600
I wonder what kind of stimulants he's on.
>>137400751
An extremely rare one known as 「Job Satisfaction」.

yes, and thats why that book sucks so hard. well, the first one is not much better.
>>137401615
Eh, I quite enjoyed them, volumes 4-5 were pretty good.
The x/y thing was fucking retarded though, I still don't quite understand what that was supposed to mean.
>ordered Kizu and JP version of Bake both from Amazon
>Bake arrived in a week, Kizu took almost a month
Considering how much cheaper the series is in Japanese, you faggots might as well try and learn it.
>>137400600
It's not a rumor. The guy himself says he wrote it in two days in the afterword.
So, 20 years to translate everything?
>>137402446
Hey, bake is 2 volumes, so maybe it will just be 10 to catch up.
>>137401821

Why don't any of the illustrations include Araragi? Don't tell me Araragi was faceless until the anime...
>>137404393
He was.
>>137404393
I'm pretty sure Vofan did the character design before the anime
>>137404393
Each volume only has one illustration before chapter 001. Books with several stories had one each.
Vofan gave Araragi a design for the anime.
>>137401821
Kizu had severe stock issues after release, they heavily underprinted it compared to demand, it was out of stock for weeks all over.
>>137382156
Has the toothbrush scene or Bird bath scene been translated?
>>137404565
>>137404649
Damn, I never thought I'd like a series with a faceless protag.
>>137404791
Have you never read books?
>>137404975
I've never read books.
How long is it going to be until there is a kindle version?
>>137385413
eh, i'd love that but there's already someone fan translating it and are already halfway through, so i don't care so much. i'm just hoping it gets an anime
>>137404565
>>137404649
>>137404975
Are there any other good light novels with faceless protags?
>>137404680
Toothbrush scene is from Nise, bath scene is from Tsuki. At this rate we'll get Nise translated on spring 2018.
>>137382156
Good.
Only 11 months to go.
Is someone going to be subbing Koyomimonogatari 6 like previous weeks?
>>137406560
nah, i'm sure they'll get faster the more it sells, and make it more of a priority.
kizu was 350 pages and took feburary-november to release
bake is 900 pages and is going to take feburary- december, janurary, feburary to release

>>137382156
Yes. Based Vertical
I really enjoyed reading Kizumonogatari.
It was a good translation that flowed pretty well. I also have a new found appreciation for Cat.

>>137400600
is he secretly Kamachi or something

Koyomi Tea is the first really good chapter.
>>137416711
what? koyomi tea is probably the worst one
>>137416868
The story is more realistic. Middle schoolers deciding to believe in ghosts despite absolute proof to the contrary because it's fun is believable, as is Tsukihi's frustration at the situation. Plus, the ending is touching rather than some dumb punchline.

>>137383234
Well where do you live?
>>137418552
Isn't the whole point of koyomimonogatari that it's like scooby doo where none of the spooky shit is actually real spooky shit?
>>137420410
Sort of. But a lot of the stories feel contrived, at least by Monogatari standards.
