light novel impressions and reviews

Koyomimonogatari, Part 2: Calendar Tale

Art Cover

Impression

The short stories here feel heavier compared to the first 6, especially the last two, which happened after Tsukimonogatari.

I like the fact that the author overdid himself to insert these short stories just to connect the dots on what is happening and what will happen in the next volumes as he told from the Afterword.

Though the short stories have their message of the connection concerning the main storyline. I like Koyomi Torus as the Koyomi and Shinobu fought over donuts and it ended with Koyomi eating all donuts. I expect Shinobu will eat it all, but Hanekawa's analysis was on point. The subtle emotion between the characters is just there but it was conveyed after all.
