About this title

Synopsis

This is a story. The end to the saga of Koyomi Araragi. This half-human, half-vampire has stood on the line between reality and the supernatural for far too long. The end to his indecision has finally come. Piece by piece, his humanity was falling away, starting with his reflection. He was becoming one of them—a vampire. Now, Araragi must choose which world to live in and which to give up. To remain human, he must abandon the friends he made through encounters with the supernatural. On the other hand, he would have to sacrifice his humanity to stay with those he holds dear. Koyomi Araragi must decide, and his decision will haunt him until the very end. Either way, tragedy seems inevitable, a culmination of every choice made since the very beginning. [Written by MAL Rewrite] This entry includes the final season of the Monogatari Series.

External profile
Shinobu is a girl who lives with Meme in an abandoned building. She loves donuts from "Mister Donut." She was named Shinobu by Meme at the beginning of Hitagi Crab, suggesting her kanji name Shinobu (忍), having "heart" (心) under "blade" (刃), matches with her original personality.
Koyomi Araragi30304 fan favorites
External profile
Age: 18 (Beginning) 19 (Off & Monster Season onwards) Height: 165 cm Weight: 55 kg Koyomi Araragi is a third year high school student who survived a vampire attack during spring break and barely regained his human life in the time that followed as a boy with remnants of vampiric traits. He can see in the dark, his eyes turn red when he gets angry, and he heals incredibly fast. As a result, he questions his lifespan. He remains scared of morning sunlight despite the fact that it no longer has any negative effects on him. Koyomi is a laid-back person whose only real friend at school is Tsubasa Hanekawa. He's a poor student, close to failing every class except math. It is revealed through conversations that he's quite knowledgeable with anime; a fact even noted by Nadeko Sengoku once. Although he is shown to be attracted to the other girls, he turns their advances down due to his loyalty to Hitagi. Other characters seems to speculate that Koyomi is a lolicon, particularly Mayoi and Hitagi, with Hitagi thinking that Nadeko is a "threat" to her. He is very noble, which is why Hitagi is attracted to him. He is willing to help others at the cost of his own life. As such, the female characters he has helped are quite attached to him. He feels most comfortable talking to Mayoi, Shinobu and, from the Second Season on, to Yotsugi about his problems. Koyomi is the only person who thinks that his family relationship is bad, with Karen and Tsukihi thinking otherwise. His parents were revealed to be police officers. His personality is portrayed more clearly in the novels, where his inner thoughts show him to be much more perverted and intelligent than the anime leads one to believe. Due to events prior to Kizumonogatari and Bakemonogatari, Koyomi avoided having friends and seemed to have lost faith and trust in people and himself. (Source: Bakemonogatari Wikia, edited)

Age: 17 (Beginning), 18 (Monogatari Series: Off & Monster Season onwards) Birthday: May 9 Suruga, the main character of Suruga Monkey, is Koyomi's underclassman, star of the school's basketball team and one of Hitagi's acquaintances from back in junior high school. She is so well known in her school that not a single student had not heard of her, mostly because it was her who was responsible of the rapid rise of success of the school's girls basketball team due to her talents. She considers herself a lesbian, fujoshi, lolicon and masochist. Her hobbies include reading yaoi literature and playing basketball. Although her sexual preference is clearly towards females, she does not have a hard time interacting with males, and she even manages to say teasing remarks when she is comfortable with the person she talks to (i.e. Araragi). She is 160cm tall. Suruga is a girl with brown eyes and dark bluish hair. Because of her club activities as a basketball varsity player, she boasts an athletic physique, although she admits that her breasts might not be ample enough for Araragi to notice. Her clothing style reflects her boyish personality; when she is not in the uniform of Naoetsu Private High School, she often wears sleeveless clothing and shorts. Whichever clothes she wears, she is regularly seen wearing cycling shorts, which she considers to be her underwear, much to Araragi's shock upon hearing it straight from her (as it implies that she does not wear panties).

External profile
Yotsugi was first introduced in Tsukihi Phoenix. She is Yozuru's shikigami. She always addresses herself with the masculine first-person pronoun boku and thinks of Yozuru as her sister. She has an ability called Unlimited Rulebook where she can pretty much do anything, such as, but not limited to, shape-shift her finger and use it as a weapon, or send herself or others flying through the skies. She seems to know about Koyomi's past as she calls him "Devil Boy" (鬼いちゃん, Oni-chan). She tends to end the things she says with "I said, with a posed look" (僕はキメ顔でそう言った, Boku wa kime-gao de sou itta).
Sodachi Oikura1138 fan favorites
External profile
Araragi's childhood friend. She is a student with a strong sense of competitiveness which led to her popular nickname, much to her chagrin. Sodachi was the president of a first-year class where both Hitagi and Koyomi also belonged to. At school, she wanted to be called as "Euler," but ends up getting the nickname "How Much," a pun on her surname (お幾ら, o-ikura) and a reference to her personality. (Source: Bakemonogatari Wiki)
