OTORIMONOGATARI: Decoy Tale (Monogatari)

About this book

A certain middle school girl has a fondness for hats which serve as a line of defense against eye contact along with the overlong bangs she&;s worn ever since she was little. Speaking in fits and starts when she doesn&;t fall completely silent her go-to line is &;I&;m sorry &; and she&;s given to referring to herself in third person. Nadeko Sengoku is pretty and not just cute. When a jealous classmate tried to hex her with a fraudulent charm Miss Bangs went and got cursed in earnest all by herself having done her homework wrong and performed a gruesome ritual at a forgotten shrine. Thank goodness Big Brother Koyomi noticed and rescued her that time but chopping up snakes at a place of worship that was dedicated to a serpent&; It might come back to bite her again hmmmm? Hoping to be saved by someone but unable to ask for help the shyest member of the cast explores a running theme of these tales in her own halting voice this round: While self-reliance is well and good beware of its debased counterfeit minted from a mere reluctance to connect with others. You know what I mean?
