The official website for the new anime series 'Monogatari' (Monogatari Series: Off & Monster Season) has announced a trailer for the character Yotsugi Ononoki , voiced by Saori Hayami .
- Unnamed Memory: Anime renewed for 2nd season
- Light novel 'Even Given the Worthless' gets anime adaptation
Yotsugi Ononoki is a rather unique tsukumogami, originating from a human corpse, and serving as Yozuru Kagenui's familiar shikigami. She stands out both for her appearance and the roles she plays. Traditionally, tsukumogami are objects or tools that come to life after years of neglect, while shikigami are generally seen as spirits or ghosts that follow the orders of an onmyouji master. The presence of Yotsugi, an expressionless corpse, brings a new perspective to these concepts, making her a truly unique figure.
Therefore, the premiere of “Monogatari Off & Monster Season” takes place on July 6, 2024 in Japan.
Synopsis “Monogatari Off & Monster Season”:
Araragi Tsukihi, now a third-year high school student, spends his days in a normal, unchanging routine. Meanwhile, Araragi Yotsugi, tasked with observing him, makes a serious mistake for the first time due to a small oversight. To resolve the situation, Yotsugi heads to Senjougahara Nadeko's house. Senjougahara Nadeko, now a third-year high school student, spends her days diligently painting for her future. Suddenly, a deadline is announced for her. To overcome this, she chooses a method: creating "Four Nadeko Senjougahara." This is how she realizes that youth is something even she cannot control.
