Anyone know if the Bakemonogatari Light Novels (preferably all of them, but I'll take whatever) are available on the Internet in English? I know the Suzumiya novels were translated by Baka-Tsuki, but I'm not up on the big fanlator groups, so...

It's been fun.

All LN translations end up on Baka-Tsuki. Seriously. Novel fanslations are rare in the first place, but when they pop up Baka-Tsuki contacts them offering to host. And most people have no reason to refuse free hosting. So just check there and you're 95% likely to get anything that's translated anywhere.

That said, I'm pretty sure Bakemonogatari has not been translated to any notable extent.

Aw.

Well, I'll take a look, anyway.

EDIT: Yeah, looks like they've got to about halfway through MayoiSnail and a few parts of KoyomiVamp done.

Aaaargh.

Koyomi Vamp hasn't had real progress made on it in absolute ages either.

Pity. This means I'll have to read 'em in Japanese... and it seems like fairly dense reading...

It's been fun.

You might find that difficult. Bakemonogatari is apparently especially difficult with all the puns, wordplay and whatnot.

Trust me, I know. Well, it helps to look at it that way: by the time I reach the required comprehension level, it'll likely have been licensed and translated already...

It's been fun.
