A recap of episodes 1-5 of Bakemonogatari.

On his way to Hitagi's house, Koyomi bumps in to Suruga Kanbaru, the school's basketball star and an old friend of Hitagi, of whom he can't get rid of. Later that day, Koyomi is attacked by a mysterious being.

The day after his attack, Koyomi goes to see Suruga, where she tells him something about herself he can't quite grasp.

Koyomi takes Suruga to see Oshino in order to help her. However, the help he offers isn't the help Koyomi wanted...

Tasked by Meme, Koyomi heads to a lonely temple to attach a prayer slip. There he sees a dead snake that has been severed into five parts.

Koyomi taps into Meme’s powers in order to lift the snake’s curse from Nadeko Sengoku, a mysterious girl he encounters at the temple.

Nadeko comes to thank Koyomi, and the two geek out over a shared interest. Tsubasa Hanekawa passes by and suddenly complains of an acute headache.

Koyomi is over the moon when Hitagi announces their first date will finally happen. But on the day of, he finds that she is not the only one there.

Tsubasa suffers from an inexplicable headache. Koyomi rushes to meet Tsubasa at the park, and learns of her paranormal situation.

Koyomi takes Tsubasa on a visit to Meme to find out how to save her. For some reason, Meme is acting indecisively.

Meme is not himself these days, caused by Shinobu’s disappearance from the house. Koyomi, Mayoi, Suruga and Nadeko all search for Shinobu.

The five girls' problems with supernatural beings have been solved, and it's now summer break, with the culture fair over. Koyomi Araragi has two little sisters, self-proclaimed "heroes" nicknamed the Fire Sisters, Karen and Tsukihi.

Temptation haunts Koyomi, while visiting Sengoku he is presented with several tempting offers. After surviving each one, his visit to Kanbaru continues to put him in compromising situations.

Araragi leaves Kanbaru's house and meets a dangerous man named Kaiki. While following him, he runs into Senjougahara, who berates him for skipping his studies.

Karen is badly ill, having been poisoned by an evil, supernatural bee. Will Koyomi be able to cure her in time?

Koyomi learns the whole story about what happened between Karen and Kaiki. After receiving a tempting offer from Hanekawa, he speaks with Shinobu on the way to save Karen.

Koyomi leaves Karen behind at home to talk with Senjougahara. Senjougahara seems to be planning on confronting and murdering Kaiki. When he comes back home, he learns Karen has wandered off, while still sick.

Araragi goes to confront Kaiki and stop him from leaving the city. But Kaiki is wiley and smart, and not easily dissuaded when there's money on the line.

Karen is acting clingy and very cute, completely out of character. But its a trick to get Koyomi to introduce her to Kanbaru. In response, he devises a test Karen must pass; a test involving her toothbrush.

While taking Karen to meet Kanbaru, Araragi is put into a compromising position. On the way, he runs into someone asking about familiar things.

Araragi agrees to take Shinobu on a trip to buy doughnuts. At the restaurant, an old acquaintance is able to give information on the town's new visitors.

As Shinobu explains how Tsukihi came to be in her currents situation. Araragi resolves to stop the out-of-towners from killing her. But unlike Oshino and Kaiki, Kagenui speaks with her fist and she talks a lot.

A short recap before Nekomonogatari (Black) where Araragi explains what happened to him in Kizumonogatari, then briefly introduces the girls encountered in Bakemonogatari before focusing on Hanekawa.

Koyomi Araragi begins the day by being rudely awoken by his sister, Tsukihi. He decides to discuss love with her, asking how one can tell if they are in love or not. It turns out that recently, he can't stop thinking about his classmate, Hanekawa Tsubasa. Later, he runs into Hanekawa, who reveals a shocking fact which he may not tell anyone else about.

Later, Araragi meets up with Oshino Meme, who quizzes him about Hanekawa. He reveals everything except the secret he was sworn not to tell, including finding and burying a silver cat with no tail. From this, Oshino warns that Hanekawa may have been possessed by an Oddity, the Curse Cat. He instructs Araragi to find Hanekawa, whilst he looks for the shallow grave they dug for the silver cat. Araragi finds Hanekawa, but things then take a turn for the worse...

Araragi, initially ignoring Oshino's warning not to involve himself any further in this incident, visits Hanekawa's house and is shocked by what he finds. He returns home and convinces his sisters not to involve themselves in the Curse Cat incident either. A few days pass and Hanekawa is still nowhere to be found. Araragi returns to Oshino to find him severely injured from his numerous encounters with the Curse Cat. Later, Araragi manges to find and talk to the Curse Cat occupying Hanekawa. Calmer and less violent now, she tells him to leave her to her own devices in order to relieve her master's stress.

Araragi begs Shinobu for her help, which she eventually provides. He then formulates a plan to confront the Curse Cat and save Hanekawa.

The first day of the second trimester, Tsubasa Hanekawa chats with the ghost girl Mayoi Hachikuji en route to school. Right afterwards, she witnesses a giant “tiger” apparition. Later that day, her house completely burns down from a fire.

Worrying about Tsubasa Hanekawa as she lost a home to return to, Hitagi Senjyogahara allows the girl to spend the night at her place. Tsubasa eats a meal prepared by Hitagi and wakes up together with her.

Suruga Kanbaru, an underclassman, came to visit Tsubasa Hanekawa now that she has resumed attending school. Apparently, Koyomi Araragi has asked for Suruga's presence tonight. Tsubasa returned to Hitagi's house without knowing what was going on.

At Hitagi Senjyogahara's discretion, Hanekawa Tsubasa ends up living under the roof of the Araragi residence. Spending an evening in Koyomi's house, Tsubasa realizes that she had turned into Black Hanekawa the previous night.

Tsubasa determined the identity of the giant tiger apparition “Kako,” and writes one long letter. The letter was addressed to Black Hanekawa, the apparition that could be described as her other personality.

However, her body was surprisingly light, as if the concept of weight did not exist.
