Just read Decapitation and it was a really good read. So good I binged it.

The downside though is I seem to have forgotten what advice Ii-chan is talking about at the end of the book. I don't remember exactly when this unnamed woman came up and it's droving me nuts. If anyone could help my find it to go back and reread I'd be super grateful!!

Can't believe my library has the 3 volumes of Pretty Boy Detective Club. Time to renew my card and read these over the weekend.

Edit: Don't worry about this translation. It seems to be a translation of poor quality (which explains why the translator deleted their post), so I have removed the link. Oh well!

Hey all!

Thought I'd post this here in case no one was aware.

Apparently someone had translated book 4 of Bishounen, but had deleted the post containing the link sometime afterwards. It doesn't look like they'll continue the translation or reupload the old one.

Not sure as to the quality of the translation either as I haven't read it, but here you go:

Thanks to u/ale_5iu for saving and sharing the file!

I've read the Monogatari series, Medaka Box and Ill Boy meets Ill girl and I'm kind of always fascinated by how NisiOisiN portrays geniuses like Hanekawa Tsubasa from the Monogatari series, Medaka Kurokami from Medaka Box, and the Ill Girl from Ill boy meets Ill girl.

With that said, I find myself eager to discover more of NisiOisiN's works featuring characters of similar intellectual prowess. Do any of you have recommendations for other novels or manga by NisiOisiN that showcase characters with a genius intellect?

I'd love to hear your thoughts and recommendations

To anyone online, im writing a literary analysis on Kizumonogatari, my deadline is in 5 days and I desperately need a website that isnt wikipedia to cite in order for me to record his history as an author as well as his works.

Edit: My assignment's deadline has just been moved up to friday, so if anybody else wants to share any info or websites on Nisioisin and his popularity ad possible impact on the writing industry, now's the time

i couldn't find it unfortunately because everytime i look it up the results keep on showing the hentai with copius amounts of lolis and shotas in it

not that i mind but still

So I've read all of Katanagatari as a light novel, and I've been checking a bit of the anime.

From what I've seen, some scenes seem to have been added or altered to make it more visually interesting (Hakuhei Sabi's preview, the ending gauntlet against the Imperial guards, etc.); so I was wondering if there were other elements changed.

I’ve just finished the series and would appreciate some clarification on this subject as reading the end of this series has left me a tad confused on one thing. Is there something Im missing when Shichika tells Emonzaemon the reason he loved Togame was because she was selfish. I only ask cause I don’t understand the reasoning . Sorry if this something stupid to ask but thank you for anyone that helps.

I hate to annoy but I'm curious about the state of the fan translations specifically Risuka manga, Sekai 4, The rest of Monster Season,240 Gakuen, and the rest of Mazemonogatari (potentially more but only know these works are being worked on).

We enjoy the work you guys do and it's ok if you don't want to rush to finish it, but wish we got updates at least even minor ones I can't be thankful enough for the translations you guys do. 🙇‍♂️

I didn't discover this technically this Japanese person did so link to the comment they deserve the real credit I'm just expanding upon it so go like their comment.

Basically, for every announcement at least novel-wise they release the novel two months ahead or 2/0 aka the 20th, I don't quite get where the zero comes from yet but it still makes sense without it but harder to connect the two (maybe second month zero days but why idk?Would have been nice every 20 days or every 20th of the month instead).

the Phantom Thief series will release on 9/7 or Sept 7. The post was made today at the time of reading this on July 7 or 7/7 two months later Phantom Thief series starts so I decided to do the same with the previous announcement

The previous announcement came out on April 15 or 4/15 same time that the Kyouko Household Account paperback was released two months later 6/15 Lipogram was released.

The new Kyouko ninpo novel came out on 6/8 but going backwards I couldn't find anything related to 4/8 (correct me if I'm wrong) so the only other step is 8/8 or Aug 8, 2022

Also going even more back Saikyou paperback came out on 2/15 or Feb 15 two months later 4/15 they made the next announcement

So currently it's been 2/15 > 4/15 > 6/15 probably 8/15 etc.

6/8 possibly 8/8 > ??

Maybe something after Phantom thief so 7/7 >9/7 possibly 11/7

Possible announcement on these dates but could be wrong

I think they're monogatari and zaregoto references
These were in Nisio's manga Shoujo Fujuubun Ch 26

Ngl I ran out of poll ideas, so for now this will be the last.

For number 3 I know about Ningen and Saikyou but it would pick up with Ii being the protagonist/narrator again sorry for the confusion.

I'm wondering how much it adapted because I've read it up until the first volume of the novel

All are good but It pains me inside when someone spells it NisOisin forgetting the last capital N 😉

7.Nishio couldn't fit it in

I want to read something by nisio but I don't know what to read So...any recommendations? It's better to be short one

Really regret not asking this question in his QnA

240 Gakuen is a clear parody but the Maze stories have actual canonicity having real references to Monogatari and his other series but I feel like it's Alternate Universe canon not the mainline since monogatari has alternative/parallel universes that's just my take at least

I hope one day it gets fully fan translated 🤞

Time for another poll 🤠 Unsure about Densetsu since no fan translations but so far the closest I can think of is those few Monogatari arcs set in another world but now imagine a full series.

I wonder what would be the equivalent of a full banter/word play isekai would be like

As for me I guess I'll be depends don't have a hate boner for isekai but I'll choose almost any other genre to read instead
