Full title: Kizumonogatari Author: Nishio Ishin Illustrator: VOFAN Label: Kodansha Box Year of publication: 2008 Pages: 357 After taking a little break from the Bakemonogatari series, reading a few books by other authors, I finally dug into Kizumonogatari, which is the third novel about Araragi Koyomi.
