Otorimonogatari: Decoy Tale

Otorimonogatari: Decoy Tale | Nisioisin

1 post | 2 read | 1 reading | 2 to read

A certain middle school girl has a fondness for hats, which serve as a line of defense against eye contact along with the overlong bangs she's worn ever since she was little. Speaking in fits and starts when she doesn't fall completely silent, her go-to line is "I'm sorry," and she's given to referring to herself in third person. Nadeko Sengoku is pretty, and not just cute. When a jealous classmate tried to hex her with a fraudulent charm, Miss Bangs went and got cursed in earnest all by herself, having done her homework wrong and performed a gruesome ritual at a forgotten shrine. Thank goodness Big Brother Koyomi noticed and rescued her that time, but chopping up snakes at a place of worship that was dedicated to a serpent... It might come back to bite her again, hmmmm? Hoping to be saved by someone, but unable to ask for help, the shyest member of the cast explores a running theme of these tales in her own halting voice this round: While self-reliance is well and good, beware of its debased counterfeit minted from a mere reluctance to connect with others. You know what I mean?

How did you choose this book: I was looking through my bookshelf in my room, saw this book and realized I haven't read it yet.
Write a brief summary of the novel; who was the protagonist; what was his/her problem and how was the problem resolved?: (in the comments section)
*284 pages*

DJasmine Nadeko Sengoku, a middle school student who loves hats to cover up her face along with her very long bangs acting as a shield for her face. Despite her wanting to cover up her face, she has a wish.
On a normal day, she chats with someone she knows. They tell her that they saw Nadeko going to a shrine and praying there but it‘s useless because there is no longer a god there. (part 1/2) (edited) 5y

DJasmine So that person told Nadeko that there is a talisman that contains a god who is powerful enough to grant her wish once it has been resurrected. Throughout the journey to look for that talisman, Nadeko gets herself cursed; and that talisman that she is looking for may be closer to her than she thinks it is. How will she deal with this curse and will she be able to find the talisman that can grant her wish? (part 2/2) (edited) 5y

DJasmine *Although it may be confusing at first, once you carefully think about it and put the pieces together it will make sense.*
*I've also noticed that there are spelling and punctuation errors that occur throughout the book. This is because this book is a translated version of the original book (meaning english is not the original language it was written in)* 5y
