Koyomi Araragi, a high‑school senior, became a philosopher after recently going through some events and enjoyed discussing life with various people – his sisters Karen and Tsukihi, the little vampire girl Shinobu, and an older friend named Meme Oshino. Unfortunately, the sisters are just sisters; they say nothing new. Shinobu usually stays silent, and Oshino, as a guru should, speaks vaguely and mysteriously. The question the boy asked was simple: why is he irresistibly drawn to the class president, a beautiful and smart girl named Tsubasa Hanekawa? Not getting an answer, the hero decided at the start of Golden Week to finally sort out his swirling feelings. Poor Tsubasa was missing just that! Torn by family problems and the need to "keep face," the girl fell into such stress that she let a wandering entity named Evil Cat into her soul. This cute spirit with white fur but a dark underside began to fully devote itself to herself and her master; even the mighty mage Oshino was powerless. Who solved the situation, you wonder? Thus Araragi found a best friend who helped him meet his own destiny, which will strike like a gull at prey in the next plot twist.
