It marks the first time the long-running Monogatari series has been officially translated into English, and although it's technically the third volume in the series to be published, it's the perfect place for both newcomers and folks familiar with SHAFT's anime adaptation alike to jump in. Even taken on its own, it's also simply a darn fine novel.The bottom line is that Kizumonogatari is a treat -- a perfect mixture of tragedy and comedy. Here, author NISIOISIN's love for wordplay and well-crafted characters with big personalities like Meme Oshino and Tsubasa Hanekawa that play perfectly off of each other is on full display, and the novel's occasional raunchier scenes manage to remain lighthearted and tongue-in-cheek without going overboard (which some of his later works fall victim to on occasion). It may initially take a few pages to get used to the writing style, but it adds a unique flair to the internal dialogues of the narrator Koyomi as he recounts his life-changing encounter with the legendary vampire Kissshot Acerolaorion Heartunderblade.Concerning the quality of the new English translation, the wordplay doesn't always flow quite as smoothly as one might like it to -- but considering just how entrenched the author's jokes and puns are in the Japanese language, the translator did a pretty bang-up job on getting everything to be the best that it could have possibly been. It simply reads much, much better than any past unofficial translations I've seen. Vertical also did a wonderful job with the book in the graphic design department; it's a beautifully-designed edition, and the newly-commissioned cover art by series artist Vofan is stunning (and fret not, purists: the original illustration from the Japanese edition is included inside, as well!).Overall, whether you're a Monogatari maniac or someone wondering what all the fuss is about, you couldn't ask for a better jumping-in point than here. With a little bit of luck, perhaps Vertical will decide to continue publication of the rest of the series -- and considering both the quality of the writing and of their translation job, I can only hope that they do. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Damn Good Read, Will Read Again! *by R***O on Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2016* The Moe isn't as hardcore as with the typical Japanese Light Novel.Nioisin did a good job making it not be as cliche as other things in the Light Novel, Anime, and Manga "spheres". Yes we still have the moe in it, for example the "Class President" with large breast and stuff like that, but it isn't the only thing it offers unlike most other stuff in the genre.It actually has a plot, yes you heard me right fellas (or chicks), and even the other books with even more moe than this one, lots more moe, it has more plot than most of the stuff out now a days.If you expect you need to add on a box of tissues with your order, your gonna have a difficult time putting them to good use.Two, Nisioisin puts in a good deal of detail, and the translators in the English version did a pretty great job getting most of it down well. And if you saw the anime, you will notice that the anime did a great job respecting Nisioisin's work (so if you watched the anime first like me you will notice the effort the animators put into making such a fine work of art on par with Nisioisin's novels.Three, the chapters are of a great length that the book flows perfectly to the point where it does not feel like anything is too poorly detailed or filled with too much "filler".Additionally, it gets pretty funny at times and even during a few "non-humor appropriate" parts it blends in perfectly to show you that Nisioisin knows how to make the characters come to life.Furthermore, you may not want to put it down. I for one am not a huge fan of Japanese Light Novels since they can be, well cliche and predictable, but this series does a great job not making it feel like that, even when there are a few manga and anime tropes in it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/86860338-kizumonogatari-wound-tale](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/86860338-kizumonogatari-wound-tale) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
