Plot of the Monogatari Anime Series in Brief

The Monogatari anime series revolves around a third-year high school student named Koyomi Araragi. Due to a series of events, he had become a part vampire but managed to restore a substantial amount of his humanity during spring break. One day, his classmate Hitagi Senjohagara ended up falling into his arms after an accident.

To Koyomi’s surprise, she didn’t weigh anything. He decided to introduce her to Meme Oshino, who reversed his vampirism. His reason for introducing her to Meme was due to the weight anomaly that he observed.

Once this issue was solved, Hitari became Koyomi’s girlfriend in the Monogatari anime series. As the plot advances, Koyomi starts to observe similar anomalies in his classmates. Following this, he understands the implications of these oddities—apparitions that feed off human beings’ emotions. Koyomi starts working on these anomalies under Meme Oshino’s guidance.
