Araragi and Shinobu return to the present, only to discover the horrible consequences of saving Mayoi.
Shinobu figures out how to return to the present but Araragi finds the date they arrived too convenient to be a coincidence. He tries to help by changing the future, but altering time is never, ever a good idea.
After recalling the events of Nekomonogatari Black, Araragi finds Hachikuji’s backpack and encounters Ononoki while searching for her. Summer vacation ends and Araragi realizes he has not done his homework. He jokingly asks Shinobu to take him back in time one day so he can finish it… this will not end well.
Hanekawa finally understands the source of her apparitions and pens her final wish. Black Hanekawa sets out to grant her wish as she confronts Kako the tiger one last time.
With the help of Senjougahara, the Fire Sisters, and a couple of odd characters loosely tied to the Golden Week incident, Hanekawa begins to piece together clues about the tiger. She realizes the incident must be resolved that very night.
Kanbaru receives a deceptively simple text message from the missing Araragi. Senjougahara finds another solution for Hanekawa’s housing problem. Black Hanekawa embraces her role in Terminator 2.
Recap: Senjougahara begins to understand Hanekawa after she spends the night at her house. While Hanekawa is sleeping, a familiar guest pays a visit.
Hanekawa encounters a massive, supernatural tiger on her way to school and later on sees her house burning down. With Araragi away, she teams up with Senjougahara to find out what happened, and thus a new batch of Monogatari stories begins.
