License & Translate Nisio Isin's Monogatari Second & Final Season [Vertical, Inc.]
License & Translate Nisio Isin's Monogatari Second & Final Season [Vertical, Inc.]
The issue
"Everyday, I go home and cry in the shower, because I've come to the conclusion that I may not be able to read the entire Monogatari Series by Author Nisio Isin, from start to finish, because Vertical, Inc. hasn't licensed the second and final season." - Everyone who read Kizumonogatari in English
In December 2015, Vertical, Inc. translated and published Kizumonogatari, the first arc of the first season of Monogatari by Nisio Isin (NisiOisiN). Then, they made an audio book for it. One whole year later, in this coming December of 2016, Vertical is finally releasing the English translation of Bakemonogatari Part 1, the first volume in Monogatari Series: First Season's second ark (although, in Japan, released before Kizumonogatari). After they finish releasing Bakemonogatari, they will release Nisemonogatari Part 1, in April.
The ark from the First Season that they have not announced to release is Nekomonogatari: Kuro. After that comes Monogatari Series: Second Season. They have yet to announce anything about translating the Second Season, and obviously nothing has been said about Monogatari Series: Final Season. That's why I fear...
I fear that I will never be able to read Monogatari from start to finish.
This petition is simply just to let Vertical, Inc. know that people do want to read the entire Monogatari Series, and not just some grammatically incorrect fan translation. In my case, I want a physical copy I can put on my shelf.
So please, if you're a fan of Japanese novels/light novels, please sign this petition to give Vertical, Inc. the push they need to license and translate the entire Monogatari Series, First, Second and Final Season.
Tl;dr: I really liked Kizumonogatari and I want to read all of the Monogatari Series by Nisio Isin (NisiOisiN), so I want Vertical, Inc. to license the entire series and translate it all so I can buy physical copies and read proof read and edited versions instead of fan translations. Hopefully, this will give Vertical, Inc. the push it needs to do so.
Thank you.
And yes, I know this is very exaggerated and dramatic. I tried to make it somewhat entertaining.
