First sentence in Bakemonogatari

So, last week I started learning Japanese. Three days ago, I found a brush pen at a local stationery store and thought it might make learning how to draw kana a bit more fun. It's also my first time using one, but it's been easier than I expected.

Today I decided to find out what the first sentence in the Monogatari books was to write it down as a challenge and, well, here it is :)

Has the Tsukihi undo opening already leaked?

I know the BD already released on Japan but I wonder if someone already uploaded the opening to watch it just because it looked cute.

a class president among class presidents

a quick little drawing of hanekawa. I finished “reading” Nekomonogatari Shiro (it was an audiobook) earlier today and felt inspired (not inspired enough to put effort into coloring) to do this. I’m sad to see that there is no audiobook for Nisemonogatari but oh well, I shall read it on my lunch breaks even though my poor illiterate bones ache. Anyways I wonder who I shall draw tomorrow…

English Version of Renai Circulation on Jimmy Kimmel??

Okay, quick story, I don't watch Jimmy Kimmel, but I have a family member who does and I couldn't help but overhear him talking about how the UHC Assassin has fancams on the internet and all of a sudden I hear the English version of Renai Circulation playing and...

I don't know how to handle that honestly.

There was a girl in a recent chapter of a manga I like that had similar hair to Hanekawa so I lost my mind

The girl is a (most likely) one-off character name Nupie....I like am absolutely not caught up with the manga at all but she looked cute so

I saw that they animated more of the light novels, do you think that they will release physical copies of the light novels in English too?
