KIZUMONOGATARI: Wound TaleNISIOISIN
Taschenbuch
Around midnight, under a lonely street lamp in a provincial town in Japan, lies a white woman, a blonde, alone, robbed of all four limbs, yet undead. Indeed, a rumor's been circulating among the local girls that a vampire has come to their backwater, of all places. Koyomi Araragi, who prefers to avoid having friends because they'd lower his "intensity as a human, " is naturally skeptical. Yet it is to him that the bloodsucking demon, a concept "dated twice over, " beckons on the first day of spring break as he makes his way home with a fresh loot of morally compromising periodicals. Always disarmingly candid, often hilariously playful, and sometimes devastatingly moving, K I Z U M O N O G A T A R I: Wound Tale is the perfect gateway into the world of author N I S I O I S I N, the bestselling young novelist in Japan today. The prequel to B A K E M O N O G A T A R I (" Monster Tale"), this is where the legendary M O N O G A T A R I series, whose anime adaptations have enjoyed international popularity and critical acclaim, begins. A theatrical feature based on K I Z U M O N O G A T A R I is due to be released in Japan in January 2016.
