Monogatari Series Box Set Limited Edition

Monogatari is a book series I've always wanted to check out and was happy to find the first seven books bundled up in a box set. The cover art is breathtaking and I loved the art on the box itself. The books themselves are a delight to read and I can see why they're so popular. Looking forward to reading the next set!

The item is great and cannot wait to dig my teeth into the novels, looks good with the rest of my light novels and manga. Just a shame the corner of the box is damaged due tonpoor packaging, has clearly been dropped.

A series of best girls.

books are brilliant, ive already seen them, but they came slightly damaged and the books were upside down with the box both of which are disappointing to say the least

The box art and series is great, but whoever designed the box dimensions really should be given the sack. I have tried repeatedly, and it is impossible to get the books altogether back into the box.

I was gifted this after watching season 1 and 2 from the anime and, even though I do not like translations, I did enjoy this story very much. In a way, reading complements the anime experience; I did not get the sense of being lost as I did when watching and perhaps this translation did simplify the original work, but I can't tell. Something I need to point out is that, I believe they changed the translator between books - although I need to confirm this; I read so much, some times I get confused - and there was some consistency issues. I mean, this sucks. Reading a translation is already painful, but at least keep the same guy. If you can't, at least get the new guy to read the old work and keep consistent. But I suppose translating is hard, and if you are serious about reading, you need to learn the language. That being said, this book is great for those, like me, that have already plenty to do and just want to read something as readable as harry potter, but IMHO more enthralling. At some points it does feel kinda dorky, possibly because the translation is way too readable, so you kinda maybe feel like reading Twilight, so yeah, dunno. I know most things I wrote kinda sound negative, but the story is a lot of fun, and I had a pretty good time reading it; almost couldn't put it down and finished it in like 6 weeks. In a way, reading this is complimentary to watching the anime and this is nice. It is best if you know a bit of japanese to kind of get the story of hachikuji's name; maybe it would be helpful to show the kanji, because tsubasa hanekawa does not make you think of unpaired wings as 翼羽川 does; I guess I wished there were more side by side translations (like I once saw for Russian-French versions of books), so you could compare; but then again, if they were just a bit too pricey even I wouldn't get them. So yeah, hope this helped you; great collection 8/10 would recommend, still a great read

came with all the books and they're all good so i enjoyed it, still haven't gotten through all the books yet

Please, if you are currently thinking about the choice of getting this box set i can assure you this is nothing but one of the most well written works out there from Nisioisin. Personally i have read uptil vol 2 of bakemonogatari and will begin the 3rd one soon as i write this review and let me say, Nisioisin writing style, with intresting twist and word play with the combination of him being unshamed of writing what he wants (which is what he is loved for) and intresting characters that feel all intresting and play accordingly to their nature is something you dont see often in literature. He is, in my humble opinion the greatest there is in his field, no other author keeps me hooked with emotionally intresting characters as his works. Aside from the content the books came in a box set with 7 of them and the box was in prime condition, something you dont see often with amazon shipping.

Tal como aparece en la imagen. A pesar de que el envío venía sin proteger (dentro de la caja y ya, como siempre que Amazon manda cualquier libro), al menos estaba precintado y en mi caso ha llegado en perfectas condiciones. El cartón que contiene las novelas es duro, tal vez algo más recio que las cajas que suelen traer algunos mangas aquí en España. Trae una pequeña postal con la misma ilustración de la caja y que no está mal para usar de marcapáginas. La edición está bastante cuidada, con un buen gramaje y tacto de las páginas y portadas. La traducción también me parece bastante correcta, a pesar de haber leído lo contrario en algún lugar. En inglés. Se entiende bastante bien pero seguramente tengas que buscar más de una palabra suelta (algún tecnicismo o adjetivo, a veces un tanto enrevesados) si quieres entenderlo del todo. Si no, el contexto es suficiente para hacerse una idea y posee una gramática más común. Este formato además permite ahorrar si se tiene pensado adquirirlas todas.
