"Don't you think unrequited love that lasts forever is happier than mutual love?"
Hitagi Senjougahara made a deal with the gods with her life in order to protect Koyomi Araragi.
As winter holidays approach with the promised "destined day", she chose the darkest and the worst option...

Taken from the Bakemonogatari wiki- http://bakemonogatari.wikia.com/wiki/Koimonogatari
I've scene this exact publishers summary in other places also. Also for some reasons this novel is giving off heartbreak vibes; any thoughts?

Well I'm not going to spoil anything, but just point out that it isn't the last novel in the series but that there are 3 more releases upcoming, so this isn't really the ending. ^_^

Ya i knew; i think the last one is called Koyomi's book or something similar; but since this is called "Hitagi's end" i figured it was the end of the character Hitagi and the rest wouldn't be about her since she wasn't involved in all the novels anyway (or not simply not a lot, since many of her roles are "supporting".) So do you think she will featured in the following three novels? or is that alone a spoiler? well i guess just answering that could spoil especially with the summary as it is; so how about this, does this novel for what you know of it set a bad or good feeling going into the next 3? like bittersweet, bitter, happy, etc.

I see; looking at the title that way does makes sense. Ya i figured that this novel wasn't stand alone since it seems that Nisemonogatari which is airing now is slow paced because it builds the characters for later novels; or at least that's how i took it. I kinda got spoiled by someone else which is part of the reason i posted this; and it was lame because he only told me what appears to be a darker part of the novel and nothing else so i was wondering if you could confirm it for me since i was already "spoiled" on it



Also one more thing since this has been bothering me and a yes/no answer would make me feel a lot better about the wait since i can't find a translation so i can't read it myself, even if its a bit of a spoiler.

Wow... but at least in this case its good that it was wrong, i was hoping he was messing with me since its way better than the alternative.

That alone makes me really want to read this novel :)



Btw, i was wondering how you read the novels, i can't find an English translation except for Bakemongatari, Kizumonogatari, and the start of Nisemonogatari on Baka Tsuki, can you read Japanese?

I wish they'd focus less on fan service though.. I believe Nekomonogatari and Nisemonogatari are just riding the wave of the awesome Bakemogatari but with a lot more of ecchi scenes. It's not that I hate ecchi and stuff but I believe a good anime doesn't need excessive ecchi to be great unless it is part of the plot. Bakemono had just the right amount of fan service IMO.

Thank God there's a good ending. The more I re-watch the anime the more I get attached to the characters. Especially Shinobu, Hitagi, and Koyomi. Given the previous spoilers from other threads, it will be fantastic and amazing if the author pulls a good ending off without killing anybody. That's my hope!

Well, I did not exactly read other works from Nisio though but given the point that he did killed off his characters whenever needed (after watching Katanagatari), you cannot just predict the real ending as he will probably put some twist to the story climax.
As for bitter end, happy end, and any other ends, well, if you are looking at the perspective of Araragi, it is surely a good ending to him, but if you are looking from other characters' point of view, the ending can be define with different kind of mixed feelings.

Well prepare yourself because...


Can someone explain this? I thought it was spoiled that Hitagi do stay with Koyomi? If someone can spoil the whole entire Hitagi End I would love that haha. To be honest, I can't see Hitagi breaking up with Koyomi. It doesn't seem like her character to do so.

Also, the summary of Hitagi End states that she made a deal with the gods to protect Koyomi. Not loving him would kind of make that harder wouldn't it

He said that it is his own speculation, based on reasoning he made after reading the latest novel, tsuki and koyomimonogatari.

Though I'm in a way of agreeing with his point.
Hitagi End (Spoiler ahead, read by your own risk)


Sorry for my messed up English though.

Kabukimonogatari anime is just too rush for me. Almost those interesting parts are like non-existence. If Akiyuki cuts anymore stuff from chapter 29, there's no helping it. It just suck and not as I expected at all.

Ok thank you so much. But there's one thing I don't get. Was the spoiler in Hanamonogatari after the third season? I know tsuki and koyomimonogatari are both the fianl season, but if Hana's spoiler is after the final season, then that means the seires will end with Hitagi and Koyomi happily ever after. I could see the author killing off Shinobu. He better not give this series a bad ending. I'd rage all day long

Hanamonogatari is still considered as the Second Season installment. It is not a spoiler. It is just that according to the timeline and event sequence, the story should be lined up after Tsuki and the last parts of Koyomimonogatari (and also Nisio's way of writing the series). As speculated (and according to some information on Ougi Formula of Owarimonogatari), Hana is still lined up before Owarimonogatari event, so, despite the advanced time gap, the plot written for it is basically telling the readers of some future event that will somehow lead to the beginning of Owarimonogatari event. Nothing more.

ps: I have yet to read Hana, this is based on some reviews made by some bloggers.

If Hanamonogatari is after Tsuki and Koyo, but before Owari, then that means Hitagi and Koyomi will be together when facing the events in Ougi Dark. Atleast there's hope that the series will be a good ending. And haha yea I havent read any of the books, I only research and read summaries of most of them. I've read theories of the ending by some other people. I was wondering if you had any predictions/speculations for the end of the Monogatari series?

If Hitagi does NOT end up with Koyomi in the end then I will rage quit instantly. I can't fathom any other ending. As far as I can gather from this thread....it seems to be going well. For that I am grateful.

After all....I watch the series PURELY FOR HITAGI.

Thank You All.

Predictions... hmm... it is hard to predict the ending since this is Nisio we were talking about. He loves to twist his stories.

Yup, they do. It actually gets spoiled in Hanamonogatari that they have an happy end and it isn't Senjougahara whose ending is bitter in Koimonogatari.

no no Hanamonogatari is after the first two chapters of the final season. But there is still two more chapters after those in the final season. But I'm going to be optimistic and call a happy ending. Any unnecessary plot twists for a mind blowing ending would probably disappoint a huge portion of the fans

Araragi is immortal, so he can't grow old with Hitagi.
My question: isn't there any way to make Araragi human again? Or, if this happens, Shinobu will cease to exist?

Note: I have a feeling that this has been already explained in the anime, but i;m not sure, so sorry if i'm asking an already answered quesion.

There is a way to make Araragi becomes a normal human again, this has been explained in Tsukimonogatari.
Whether Shinobu dies or not if Araragi turns into a normal human back, I'll leave it to those who have read Tsuki to answer.
