the story picked up from where Nisemonogatari left off. the story continued its style of focusing on various characters, giving them each an equal airtime, focusing on their problems and how it managed to relate to the other characters. first it was Shiro, where Hanekawa faced her personal obstacles, also previously explored in Nekomonogatari -Kuro- (2012). refreshingly for this installment, the perspective shifted from Araragi to Hanekawa, giving us a different view from Araragi's usual fast-paced and often humorous view. through Hanekawa, a more mysterious view was revealed, also introducing a newly awakened spirit animal, together with her troubled thoughts and emotions. despite the slow start, like most Monogatari sequels, things ultimately ended in a satisfying manner.
