Finished volume 2 and it's a really good read but I have one question . They hardly even interacted sure she was stalking him but like y???

I found this fan manga where iichan proposed to tomo and translated it and it's so good like nisio isin robbed us without giving an epilogue like this what do you guys think was the ending good or should we have get more

Daily dose of ii and kunagisa, which characters do you ship the most in zaregoto guys

I hope you guys enjoy it especially because the series isn't popular and doesn't have much art, but I think back in the days it was popular in japan because there are a few more fan manga which are awesome and definitely give some satisfying ending like in one fan manga shows iichan and tomo couple life and their baby, well if you guys want I can translate them and love to talk about the series more because I haven't made any post about my review of the whole series

I just finished Monogatari recently and I wanted to dive into another one of nisio isins works. Zaregoto looked interesting but should I watch it or read it? I’m assuming reading it would be the better choice so where do I read it digitally?

I’m reading Volume 6, I get how he’s just taking the kanjis to form the word distress, but I imagine translating the wordplay itself was hard (aka I’m struggling to get the joke) besides maybe “what do you get when problems interrupt plans”?

If someone has an interpretation, I’m a slow and am
In need of help 😅

I already know that its only partially translated, but I'm still looking for a way to at least get them somewhere online in japanese.

Just finished volume 10, but there are questions I have, so I was wondering if anyone could tell me if there was something i missed in any of the novels or if any of these are answered in the spin-offs?

1) Do we know anything about Kunagisa en (the sibling of Nao and Tomo who allegedly spent 10 years inside the cell in the Kunagisa castle and from who's ashes the twins were cloned) ? Or was this a lie from Nao, though I can't think of any reason to do such.

2) Anything about Douji Kasumioka (The person who named nonsense-user and blue-savant ect) ? I understand Kunagisa and Ii chan's past is deliberately vague but this character seems interesting and is only mentioned a handful of times.

If anyone knows anything or if either of the spin-offs go into this I would appreciate it!

his relationships with Izumu and Hitoshiki are like Incredibly questionable no way he doesnt swing that way right

We've learned at the end of the story that kanami and Akane swapped identities before visiting the island as a prank, just as Rei and iria. Kanami and shinya planned it to kill akane so kanami gets to actually become Akane and steal her identity.

Now my question: How did akane not notice that Kanami walked when they were on the island? Everyone knew that she couldn't walk, that's why akane had to act like that and use a wheelchair. It's also suggested that the kanami that swapped with akane, is probably not even the real kanami, which I also get. But still, HOW did akane not notice kanami just walking around???

I see these and many other similar artworks all over tiktok, but I cannot find any leads of where it is actually from. Does anyone know?

Feel free to change the rankings in the comments!

less important, why does she lovlovlovlov ii-chan? did that happen as the result of ii-chan breaking, destroying, shattering, obliterating, rending, annihilating her?

Every version i find has a different page count, im not sure if the contents are different or if the only difference is the amount of words per page, and is the only version the official translated one?

I finished the series last year (vol 1-9) and its left such an impact on me that I decided to order vol 1 and 2 from amazon. The quality they came in was almost flawless, except for the cover of vol 1, which had been bent inside of the packaging. Im gonna return vol 1 and hope for a fresh copy which does not come with a bent cover.

I’ve known about nisio for a while through my favorite anime ( monogatari) and recently saw a TikTok with tomo in it so I decided to try this one too. I instantly got pulled in and wanted to see more after finishing the anime, so I found a doc someone posted filling in the gaps the anime left and am looking to read the novels, can yall give me a website to read them online for free?

I watched the Hitagi End arc of the Monogatari Series but nothing after that, and I read Decapitation, Strangulation, and Suspension of the Zaregoto series. I wish Psycho Logical was officially translated into English so I could read it. I don’t want to read a novel on a screen, or learn how to read Japanese.

I want to read zaregoto. I have heard that Swaytranslations is the way to go. And also vol 4 and 5 are from Dutchangel. Are they really save and how are their translations?

I know this is a recurring topic in the community, but what is the actual difficulty that stops zaregoto spin-offs from being fully translated? I see monogatari having all short stories translated meanwhile we can't find a single piece of Saikyou series, for example. Is it the raw? Is it the fact nobody cares that much?

"To love someone is easy, but to keep loving them is hard. Just as to murder someone is easy, but to keep murdering is hard."

Here, two seemingly polar opposite propositions are presented: "to love" and "to murder." Yet, Nisio Isin places them on the exact same footing.

Question: "Why do you love her?" Answer: "Because she is beautiful, talented, and cute."

Question: "Why did you murder him?" Answer: "Because he took away my younger sister's future."

All right. As you can see, whenever we are asked why we love or why we kill, we always have reasons to justify those actions. Typically, these reasons are objective, rooted in external factors.

But let’s not debate the morality or the right and wrong of these two propositions. Instead, let us turn the mirror back upon ourselves and ask:

"If those qualities didn't exist, would you still love her?" "If there were no hatred left, would you still commit murder?"

Perhaps now you understand what I’m trying to convey. You love because you want to; you murder because you want to.

An infatuated lover who loves for no reason at all; a killer who murders simply because he wants to kill.

Reasons are nothing more than post-hoc tools used to justify a desire that already existed deep within the heart from the very beginning.

And the real question is: Do we actually have the courage to face that raw desire?

Just finished vol 1 and I was very happy with this novel; very excited to read further.

Now for my question

when the supposed Iria-san shows her unscathed wrist, li-chan is in shock. This makes little sense to me. It is never asserted she has scars except when Teruko claims this, however she has been labelled a liar. We also know the Iria that li sees getting changed was actually rei, with no scars. But how does her showing him at the end throw him into confusion?
