Officially the start of MONOGATARI's second arc (White) is written in Hanekawa's perspective. It is the first story in the series that's told in different perspective than Araragi.

Launching into new territory that the author hadn't mapped out when he embarked on theseries, NEKOMONOGATARI (White) tells the tale of heroine TsubasaHanekawa from her own perspective, in her own voice-if thatcan hold true for a damaged soul who, depending on who you're asking, suffers from a split personality or a supernatural aberration.

The bone-chilling brokenness of her household, where father and mother and daughterkeep three separate sets of cookware in the same kitchen and only ever prepare their own meals, and the profound darkness nurtured in the geniusschoolgirl's heart, come to life, if that is the word, through her self-vivisection.

As for our customary unreliable narrator, Araragi, we seem to learn revealing tidbits about him now that we have an outside view of him at last, while his lady friendsSenjogahara, Hachikuji, et al, freed from his predilectionfor proudly inane banter, show subtly new faces to us via their female interlocutor.

Welcome to the Second Season.

here are few authors in Japan who have reached the heights of success as NisiOisin. Born in 1981, Nisio dropped out of Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto, to pursue a career in story-telling. Initially he had ambitions to be a comic artist, but when he realized his art was not up to snuff, he began to focus on his writing, eventually winning the 23rd Mephisto Prize, for Kubikiri Cycle (Del Rey) recognizing his talents as a mystery writer, at the age of 20. Since his debut in 2002 Nisio has penned more than 50 novels and a number of comics. And he has quickly become one of Japan's top selling author's in recent memory with more than 5 million units sold since 2009. In 2014, as in 2012, he was the top selling author in Japan (outselling Haruki Murakami by more than half a million units).Nishio's works often cover themes of youth, but are framed in genres that are familiar to the masses. His works tend to mix mystery with comedy and touches or romance and/or the supernatural. He is a modern author in every sense, sometimes even experiementing with the Japanese language itself.Many of his works have been adapted into animated television series and films. His best known works are the Monogatari series and Katanagatari.Author Residence- Tokyo, Japan
