Even while Koyomi Araragi still has some vampire characteristics, such as a remarkable capacity for self-healing, this does not shield him from Hitagi Senjougahara's abuse. He also assists his pals with their issues including curses, demons, and gods. The stories of Araragi's sisters Karen and Tsukihi are told in Nisemonogatari, which follows its predecessor Bakemonogatari in a continuous fashion.
