{"product_id":"book-c0ez","title":"KIZUMONOGATARI","description":"Around midnight, under a lonely street lamp in a provincial town in Japan, lies a white woman, a blonde, alone, robbed of all four limbs, yet undead. Indeed, a rumor's been circulating among the local girls that a vampire has come to their backwater, of all places.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKoyomi Araragi, who prefers to avoid having friends because they'd lower his “intensity as a human,\" is naturally skeptical. Yet it is to him that the bloodsucking demon, a concept “dated twice over,\" beckons on the first day of spring break as he makes his way home with a fresh loot of morally compromising periodicals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlways disarmingly candid, often hilariously playful, and sometimes devastatingly moving, \u003ci\u003eKIZUMONOGATARI: Wound Tale\u003c\/i\u003e is the perfect gateway into the world of author NISIOISIN, the bestselling young novelist in Japan today.
