There is english subs for the first Ep now! :D

here or here too
chances are good that there is more to come :3

Awesome! Really hoping the rest of them get translated.

Also, I'd say the second link definitely has the better subs.

personally I liked the first one better (I don't know if it is more accurate, but I sounds a bit more natural in english), but oh well^^

ep 2 was now also released by this channel
seems like she always releases on wednesdays

Thank you for those links! Do you happen to know when the episodes catch up with the manga? I kinda don't want to spoil the manga, or read it before looking at the drama.

Ah, I don't know if I like where the drama is going... I guess it can't adapt the story as is, but it kind changes the characters altogether. I guess the starting point and the goals are the same, probably. But making Mikage the reason they friendship stopped is a big thing...

I guess if you watch up to episode 3 you should be safe. There are some additional scenes in the webseries that are not even based on chapters of the manga, though. They could still come later, but for the ones up to ep3 it would not make any sense to appaer in the manga anymore imo.
Yeah, I also kind of disliked how weird Mikage was portraied and Hinata doesn't seem to want to get to know Mikage better in the webseries, but it gets better over time. I think ep4-6 are really heading in the right direction, but those would be with spoilers if you want to wait for the manga. Though there is no telling if manga and live action will be on the same track.

Here is what I believe how it roughly aligns. (Though as mentioned, note that the drama is an adaptatioin and it adds and removes things.)

Drama Ep 1 - Manga Ch 1, 2
Drama Ep 2 - Manga Ch 11, 14, 3
Drama Ep 3 - Manga Ch 4, 5, 8, 6
Drama Ep 4 - Manga Ch 7, 17, 21
Drama Ep 5 - Original episode + Manga Ch 13
Drama Ep 6 - Manga Ch 27, 36

So for English readers, Drama Ep 1 and 3 should be spoiler free.

Source: I watched and read all in Japanese. Apologies if I'm missing something, though.

I don't think the drama made an alternative closure to the story - it felt as though they told the first half (or quarter or whatever) of the story and ran out of time in the live action, while the manga continued after that point. The ending was fine and not so abrupt because it's basically a slice-of-life story, overall, though. It also leaves room for a second series. The live action series is scheduled to be on-air in a weekly TV program in Tokyo starting in a few days. Fans are speculating if it makes a hit and they might decide to produce a second series.

Oh, so there's so many chapters already? I only read up until Ch8, so... i didn't think there were so many, because the tranlation kind of slowed down.
Edit: wow I just saw how many chapters there really are. Guess I'll have something better to do than sleeping.

A teeth brushing date everyday!

Delusional teacher is delusional.

Damn, Mikage-chan is way too precious this last two chapters. She doesn't get misunderstood, genuinely care for Hinata-chan's well being! A true angel... I guess?

Oh no, get that crap out of my sight. Took me long enough to cleanse my eyes the first time I watched that.

Mikage is a treasure and deserves happiness

What? Teeth brushing is a very normal erotic practice! Just like eyeball licking. You're welcome :>

Pretentious battle harem starring a nihilistic pedophile who wants to bang his little sisters, complete with self claimed lesbian who wants MCs dick just as bad as everyone else. Otaku bait that won't be ending anytime soon and giving shaft an excuse not to make the next Madoka project.

Pretentious battle harem

More like pretentious People Talking On Benches Simulator, really.

Haha I like that third wheel!!!

wait, people brush there teeth at school?!?

Ahhh! These chapters were so cute.

Otaku bait that won't being ending anytime soon and giving shaft an excuse not to make the next Madoka project.

Sounds like a win-win to me.

On topic, I agree with the person above me!

The return of the #lots-of-brushing tag! Also these two are cute as always. I like the friend that's become slightly involved but have the sinking feeling she's going to be muddling around with the plot more and more.

And yessss the drama has been subbed in English I can't wait to treat myself to watching these

I've always thought this, but until now I've never had this opinion validated by another person. Try as I might, I can't see any philosophical value in monogatari. It's always seemed to me like a "worst of" compilation of anime tropes, combined with a very slow pace.

That bitch is thirsty af! Screw the original pairing!

Mikage x Saroma ftw!

Not sure I'm allowed to comment on the translation here but...

This line in chapter 9, page 3:

"I kinda want to watch that American drama that's on TV right now"

should have been something like "This is like how they do [introduce friends] in an American drama, isn't it"

I think it was the result of a confusion between みたいだったね and みたいね/みたかったね.

Oops, sorry. I see that now, thanks for pointing it out. I'll fix that as soon as I can.

Oh it's Monogatari we're talking about? Thanks for putting me off of the idea of watching it for good.
