About this title

Synopsis

Oddities have existed throughout history, with some tales of them dating back to 600 years ago. Stories about vampires, a monkey's paw, shikigami, wanderers in the mountain mist, murderous felines, mermaids, wolves, golems, and, most terrifying of all, humans, have been collected by so-called "oddity specialists." The purpose of these specialists is to combat, regulate, and, most importantly, solve the many mysteries behind the circumstances these oddities create. Monogatari Series: Off Season follows eight protagonists—some specialists, some oddities themselves—as they interact with the world of aberrations, often landing themselves in dangerous situations due to their own mischievous doings.

She is always seen dressed in the uniform of Naoetsu Private High School, even outside of school days, and is rarely seen on any other type of clothing, except for a set of sleepwear which she wore during Tsubasa Cat Arc. Hanekawa Tsubasa is Araragi's classmate and the class president. Araragi describes her as "the class president of all class presidents." The reason Tsubasa and Hitagi cut their hair short is because they learned Araragi likes it short. Hanekawa currently lives with her stepfather and stepmother.

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).
