In this latter half of Calendar Tale, a set of journeys into the past
that have been revisiting the "case files" feel of the series' origins
starts to catch up to the present moment until we are violently spliced
back into the overarching plot, just in time for the final quartet that
is the End Tale (in three volumes) and End Tale (Cont.).
Continuing with the motif of ways, paths, roads, and streets, and
wrapping up sundry other topics and quasi-philosophical concerns, the
vignettes for the months of October to March deal with six ladies who
are either not quite human or older than titular narrator Koyomi
Araragi, bless his bantering soul.
In this installment, see how he handles--or is handled by--aberration of
a little sister Tsukihi, enigma of a freshman or -woman Ogi, shadow of a
legendary vampire Shinobu, corpse of a tween girl Ononoki, psychopath of
a monster expert Kagenui, and know-it-all of a Machiavellian fixer Izuko
Gaen.
