Monogatari Series

NisiOisiN (the author of the light Novels) really did a beautiful job in creating this series!! The world building and character portrayals are marvellous. Each character have their own unique depths. A series well made. Nothing of the sort that the hero saves the day but, in Oshino Meme's words, "No one is capable of saving you. Only you can save yourself. But one can lend you a hand."

The protagonist, Koyomi Araragi, is not some awefully powerful and levelled up person. Instead, he is weak and that fact has been told to him for millions of times by others. Even if he does want to, yet, he can't save anyone. He just lends them a hand. His personality is such that for helping somehow he is even willing to sacrifice his life. Although in the end he has no sense of self accomplishment at all. No matter how many times he is thanked, he feels he doesn't deserve it.

He feels more human than any superhero or protagonists out there.

This series addresses real life issues through the help of a story which incorporates ghosts, oddities, supernatural beings, Ghostbusters, vampires, a lot of girls and an average run-of-the-mill high-schooler.

A real emotional roller coaster!!
