Where to continue after the anime

Monogatari is adapted out of publication order. Off & Monster Season is not followed by one first-unadapted novel: use the novel publication order and fill the skipped stories, including the remaining Orokamonogatari and Wazamonogatari arcs, before proceeding through Monster Season. The announced Karen Ogre installment does not establish a new completed checkpoint.

How far from the end?

100% · Not applicable
Source: Ongoing

Stories are animated out of novel order, with skipped arcs and further installments announced. A single continuation volume would give a misleading percentage.

100% is an N/A marker, not source coverage or a completed anime story.

Watch order

  1. Recommended path based on novel order: Bakemonogatari → Kizumonogatari I, II and III → Nisemonogatari → Nekomonogatari Black.
  2. Second Season: Nekomonogatari White → Kabukimonogatari → Hanamonogatari → Otorimonogatari → Onimonogatari → Koimonogatari.
  3. Tsukimonogatari → Koyomimonogatari → Owarimonogatari I and II → Zoku Owarimonogatari → Off & Monster Season.
  4. This is a recommended path, not chronological event order. Koyomi Vamp is a recut of the Kizumonogatari films, not a fourth installment.
