Nisemonogatari: Fake Tale
Also known as: Nisemonogatari, 偽物語, Karen Bee, Tsukihi Phoenix, Nisemonogatari - Légendes Illusoires
by NISIOISIN
Unlike ne’er-do-well former vampire Araragi, his two younger sisters Karen and Tsukihi, who attend a private junior high, are little balls of energy and charisma that their peers look up to. That the “ka” in Karen and “hi” in Tsukihi are both written with the character for “fire” isn’t the only reason they’ve come to be known as the Fire Sisters. Karen is the brawn and Tsukihi the brains of a vigilantism that the pair sees not merely as defending justice but as justice itself. They can’t encounter a harmful fad without trying to hunt down a specific source that had a motive for spreading it. In their big brother’s humble opinion, there is something fake and precarious about it all. (Source: Kodansha USA)

Read the full take
Unlike ne'er-do-well former vampire Araragi, his two younger sisters, Karen and Tsukihi, who attend a private junior high, are little balls of energy and charisma that their peers love. The premise is a supernatural comedy-mystery built on the lives of siblings whose strange problems draw the protagonist back in.The strength is the voice. The narration is witty and quick, and the banter between the characters is sharp. The supernatural mysteries are clever and the reveals are satisfying.The weaknesses are about density. The novel leans heavily on references to its wider series, and the plot can feel busy. It works best for those who already know the cast.Recommended for fans of talky, witty supernatural mysteries. Expect a sharp, chatty read that rewards familiarity.
