About the author

Oh! great, whose real name is Ito Ōgure (大暮維人 Ōgure Ito) is a Japanese manga artist most recognized for the manga series Tenjho Tenge and Air Gear. In 2006, he received the Kodansha Manga Award for shōnen for Air Gear. Apart from working with manga, he designed some of the alternate character outfits in the PlayStation 2 version of Namco's 3D fighting game Tekken 5, and a guest character in Soul Calibur IV named Ashlotte.

His pseudonym "Oh! great" is a play on words. His pen name, written in Japanese order, is "Ōgure Ito", which is pronounced similarly to and can be romanized the same as the Japanese rendering of the English words "Oh great," ōgurēto. Furthermore, "Oh" can mean "king" in Japanese, making it possible to read the name as "the great king".

so many girls are suddenly vying for Araragi's affection and unfortunately Hanekawa is no longer the focus when it comes to Araragis daily life. I can just tell this storyline is going to be extremely painful.

Estúpido Araragi. Creí que este sería el tomo en que se ve la cita que tiene con Senjougahara. Y no.

El punto bueno es que finalmente se como se "curo" de su vampirismo Araragi.

The cat is out of the bag

With the story about Kiss-Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-Under-Blade's regaining of power and how Aragi and she meet and come to their present master/servant relationship (I believe it is from Kizumonogatari) we now return to the main Bakemonogatari story as Tsubasa Hanekawa deals with the aftermaths of her own problems after helping Koyomi Araragi once again in his recent struggles.

As usual the artwork is top notch though some of the humor and/or subject matter may be offensive to sensitive readers but I for one continue to enjoy seeing how the light novels will continue to come out in manga form. :)

I love all the little interactions after the last arc. While Kiss-Shot was my queen. Getting back to everyone else feels good. Plus what is happening to Hanekawa feels really sad. I hope she can get her feelings out since she can’t be with the one she likes. Plus I hope she beats the crap out of the family that’s hurting her

C’est le temps que cette série achève. Plus rien n’a ni queue ni tête et j’ai l’impression que plusieurs pages ralentissent le rythme.
