Presented in two parts with covers that will form a diptych Calendar Tale narrated by our
titular hero sends us to various earlier points in the story where certain events had yet to
occur-when for instance the shady expert Oshino was still in town and the ex-legendary
vampire Shinobu hadn't tired of sulking in a corner. Weaving in a motif of ways paths roads
and streets-walks of life-the nostalgic vignettes hark back to the case files feel of the
series-launching Monster Tale but with a twist. Not all oddities are supernatural: stones and
flowers sand and water the wind and the tree can just be plain weird without being
aberrations. In this installment say hello from the future to class president among class
presidents Hanekawa acid-tongued girlfriend Senjogahara cheeky lost child Hachikuji smutty
athlete Kanbaru pathologically shy Sengoku and justice-loving martial artist Karen young
ladies who love to make our young man sweat.
