Unlike ne'er-do-well former vampire Araragi his two younger sisters Karen and Tsukihi who
attend a private junior high are little balls of energy and charisma that their peers look up
to. That the ka in Karen and hi in Tsukihi are both written with the character for fire isn't
the only reason they've come to be known as the Fire Sisters. Karen is the brawn and Tsukihi
the brains of a vigilantism that the pair sees not merely as defending justice but as justice
itself. They can't encounter a harmful fad without trying to hunt down a specific source that
had a motive for spreading it. In their big brother's humble opinion there is something fake
and precarious about it all. In this first of two parts the immediate sequel to the legendary
BAKEMONOGATARI plunges us into the middle of summer vacation in the mostly peaceful rural town
where the series is set. As our hero and narrator can say from experience however teenagers
with too much free time on their hands can get stung pretty badly.
