There’s something wrong with Zoku, starting in chapter 3. It displays me 3 giant words on one page.

^^^^^ works fine on my end… what reader are you using?? with calibre works well

ReadEra on android. I downloaded calibre and it is broken there too, it displays half of sentences in a distorted unreadable way. You can notice it in chapter 3.

@KagamiHiiragi It’s not broken, this is intended by both the author and the publisher.

For example:

Oh, Koyomi. You’re up.

Ah shit I see, sorry for the fuss. Still, it looks like this on my phone - https://i.imgur.com/Lw1cqwY.jpg or https://i.imgur.com/T8oHK07.jpg
You guys know any android reader that can handle this mirrored font?

its not mirrored font but the mirrored images

@kagamihiiragi use moon+reader

To sum up for anyone having problems with reading it on phone: (IT ONLY CONCERNS V20 ZOKU OWARIMONOGATARI)

The mirrored words appear frequently only in chapters 3,4,5 - and these you can read with calibre on PC, it handles these well. Apart from those chapters, they only appear in chapter 6 (3 words) and chapter 13 (6 words). So you can read on phone like normal after chapter 5.

Any news on official monster season translations ?

@pinwheelkaleidoscope - you just gonna skip the whole off season?

Orokamonogatari
Wazamonogatari
Nademonogatari
Musubimonogatari
*Shinobumonogatari - monster season start.

Not gonna lie. Maybe I’m stupid or something. After reading the second paragraph of the first part. I feel dumb. Or maybe it’s the way they use words and how they taking a sentence structure right on the edge of still grammatically correct.

@KagamiHiiragi They’re still fine in those two examples you showed, lol. You really can’t see “fire sisters” in the second image? C’mon.

@Junao The problem is having 100 pages straight of those 2-3 giant words on mobile reader. You can decipher it of course but it isn’t worth the pain.

Anyone have problems with the spacing after apostrophes and quotes when reading on a kobo

Thank you so much for sharing c:

@LuCaZ There is a compatibility issue with Apple Books because some files cannot be opened, Can you solve this problem if I don’t ask too much please?

@ilovecats351 Yes, I have that problem, too. It seems to be caused because the language of the book is set to Japanese in the epub (xml:lang="ja") and this causes the kobo reader to render the ’ (which is an apostrophe and a right side single quotation mark at the same time) with a huge space after it.

It can either be fixed by manually performing a search and replace in e.g. calibre (xml:lang="ja" → xml:lang="en") or if you use a unixoid system, automatically for all *.epub files in the directory with the following one-liner (requires bsdtar from libarchive):
for i in *.epub; do bsdtar -cf - @"$i" | sed 's/xml:lang="ja"/xml:lang="en"/' | bsdtar --format=zip -cf "${i}_" @- && mv "${i}_" "${i}"; done

thanks

thank you!
