The novel, written by NisiOisin, works with the Suruga Devil storyline. The Monogatari Second Season series finished its broadcast run after twenty-six episodes in 2013. Hanamonogatari is bringing back mostly the same production team to work on it though Tomoyuki Itamura is directing with Akiyuki Shinbo serving as a chief director this time around.
Plot concept: The bee apparition is now gone, and summer vacation where the phoenix apparition averted harm is over– Around Koyomi Araragi and the girls who started a new trimester, apparitions, or perhaps threats even worse, were creeping in ever closer. Tsubasa Hanekawa, Mayoi Hachikuji, Suruga Kanbaru, Nadeko Sengoku, Shinobu Oshino, and Hitagi Senjyogahara. Their soliloquies, confessions – and farewells.
