Indeed a rumor's been circulating among the local girls that a vampire has come to their backwater of all places. <p/>Koyomi Araragi who prefers to avoid having friends because they'd lower his intensity as a human is naturally skeptical. Yet it is to him that the bloodsucking demon a concept dated twice over beckons on the first day of spring break as he makes his way home with a fresh loot of morally compromising periodicals. <p/> Always disarmingly candid often hilariously playful and sometimes devastatingly moving <i>KIZUMONOGATARI: Wound Tale</i> is the perfect gateway into the world of author NISIOISIN the bestselling young novelist in Japan today.
