About the author

Oh! Great

262 books110 followers
Oh! great, whose real name is Ito Ōgure (大暮 維人 Ōgure Ito) is a Japanese manga artist most recognized for the manga series Tenjho Tenge and Air Gear. In 2006, he received the Kodansha Manga Award for shōnen for Air Gear. Apart from working with manga, he designed some of the alternate character outfits in the PlayStation 2 version of Namco's 3D fighting game Tekken 5, and a guest character in Soul Calibur IV named Ashlotte.

His pseudonym "Oh! great" is a play on words. His pen name, written in Japanese order, is "Ōgure Ito", which is pronounced similarly to and can be romanized the same as the Japanese rendering of the English words "Oh great," ōgurēto. Furthermore, "Oh" can mean "king" in Japanese, making it possible to read the name as "the great king".

Dangers of a monkey paw.

After helping the lost snail, Mayoi Hachikuji return home at last Koyomi and Hitagi begin their new life as boyfriend and girlfriend and life goes on as well as any who have had to deal with aberrations can. Now together a Koyomi has garnered the attention of a popular student of the school named Suruga Kanbaru. While extraordinarily cheerful and seemingly overflowing with positive views of Koyomi this elite underclassman has her own darkness as Koyomi puts the pieces together after a seemingly chance encounter not only destroys his bicycle but puts him in danger as a cloaked figure with a beastial arm attacks him.

Thus begins the manga adaptation of the 2nd part of the 3 books that make up the Bakemonogatari tale. Through the imagination of Oh! Great the colorful characters are brought to life once more showing how even when things can seem normal there is often times a dark under tone in the lives of those who have encountered aberrations in the past. Of course between the mangaka, Oh! Great, and the original author of the light novel, NISIOISIN, don't be surprised by the plentiful fan service that will accompany the wild artwork, action scenes, and character interactions as each participant of the tale finds their own paths in this world shared by the unknown.

Aujourd’hui, je vous retrouve pour vous parler de la suite de Bakemonogatari. Cela fait un moment que j’ai envie de lire cette suite et c’est l’occasion ou jamais !

Après avoir eu affaire à la fille atteinte de la chimère escargot, Koyomi et Hitagi se sont rapprochés au point qu’ils sont maintenant en couple. Pourtant, les choses ne sont pas aussi simples.

En effet, Koyomi a le don d’attirer les anomalies à lui et cela va être de nouveau le cas. Une des filles les plus populaires du lycée va commencer à venir lui parler régulièrement, ce qu’il ne comprend pas, vu qu’il est plutôt le genre de personne dont on ignore l’existence.

Mais rapidement, lorsqu’en pleine rue, il va se faire attaquer, Koyomi va rapidement comprendre que cela est lié à cette fille et que cette dernière est une anomalie !

C’est une nouvelle affaire, avec une nouvelle anomalie sur un nouveau personnage et c’est agréable. Pour l’instant, ce tome est plutôt introductif sur le passé de la jeune fille et on n’en sait pas tant que ça sur sa chimère.

J’ai beaucoup aimé l’action qui était très présente. Les derniers tomes en manquaient un peu pour ma part ^^’ ! Je sens que je vais beaucoup apprécier l’arc autour de cette jeune fille, car elle m’intrigue beaucoup !

En bref, un tome qui nous introduit une nouvelle histoire d’une bonne manière. Je suis très curieuse la concernant et j’ai hâte d’en apprendre un peu plus sur elle. En plus l’action est présente dans ce tome, pour mon plus grand plaisir et celui de mes yeux !

Enter the Monkey(-armed) Girl, Suruga Kanbaru. Excellent introduction and retelling of Koyomi's first very violent encounter with the Monkey's Paw aberration and the events leading up to it. As Hitagi's new boyfriend, Koyomi didn't stop to consider he just might be provoking a spurned rival for Hitagi's affection to act out in a jealous rage. Beautifully illustrated action scenes & fanservice.

Chapter 3 : The Suruga Monkey kicks the story into another gear. Providing more action and drama in addition to the love-relationship blossoming. It just seems to be a total hit with me, the introduction of new character Kanbaru is amazing. She fits so well and adds incredible depth to an already awesome ride of a story. Full marks on a masterpiece of a volume, on to volume five.

Tomo introductorio al arco de Kanbaru.

Es curioso como tenía en mi memoria la conversación de Araragi cuando va a estudiar en la casa de Senjougahara grabada en mi mente como un momento que me encantó y en tomo me ha decepcionado.

I found the nonlinearity and coincidences and framing in some key moments more disorienting than it needed to be. Otherwise, consistent with previous work.

MilkiWay Ediciones sigue haciendo maravillas con las ediciones que traen a España. En cuanto a la historia podría vivir sin el fanservice de las narices.
