Kizumonogatari : Paperback : Vertical Inc. : 9781941220979 : 1941220975 : 06 Dec 2016 : Around midnight, under a lonely street lamp in a provincial town in Japan, lies a white woman, a blonde, alone, robbed of all four limbs, yet undead. Indeed, a rumor\'s been circulating among the local girls that a vampire has come to their backwater, of all places. Koyomi Araragi, who prefers to avoid having friends because they\'d lower his \"intensity as a human,\" is naturally skeptical. Yet it is to him that the bloodsucking demon, a concept \"dated twice over,\" beckons on the first day of spring break as he makes his way home with a fresh loot of morally compromising periodicals.
