The latest entry in the hugely popular Monogatari series of novels.

The direct sequel to Bakemonogatari, Nise (Fake Tale) is more of a psychological and emotional look at the mind of now teenage vampire Koyomi Araragi... and his strange home-life.

In Bakemonogatari, Koyomi Araragi - a third year high school student who has recently survived a vampire attack - finds himself mixed up with all kinds of apparitions: gods, ghosts, myths, and spirits. However, in this sequel Nisemonogatari, we pick up right where Kizumonogatari left off and follow Koyomi as the psychological twists delve deeper and deeper...

There are few authors in Japan who have reached the heights of success as Nishio Ishin (a.k.a. Nisioisin). Born in 1981, Nishio dropped out of Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto, to pursue a career in storytelling. Since his debut in 2002 Nisio has penned more than 50 novels and a number of comics. He has quickly become one of Japan's top selling authors in recent memory with more than five 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 experimenting 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.
