1. Ougi Right (Monster Season: Episode 6)
Ougi Right (おうぎライト) is the first episode included in Ougimonogatari, which is largely composed of it devoting about four-fifths of pages. Ougi Right, positioned as the sixth episode of Monster Season, can be roughly divided into two parts: the story of Koyomi Araragi, who encounters strange phenomena themed on apology and the narration by a female character.
Plot: Ougi Right
Ougi Right revolves around the protagonist Koyomi Araragi, who is a freshman at Manase National University. He listens to Meniko Hamukai, who is the only friend that he makes in the university and holds a personal problem: her boyfriend apologizes to her and people aroundher over and over again although there is no reason to do that.
Koyomi remembers that his girlfriend Hitagi Senjogahara also apologizes to him for the terrible things that she did to him in the past and talks about breaking up suddenly at the start of a year.
His old friend Sodachi Oikura, who also gets along with Hitagi now, apologized to him, too, which makes him confidently conclude that the puzzling phenomena of apology are caused by an apparition (Kaii).
To consult Ougi Oshino, an expert of apparitions and the back side of Koyomi, he returns to his hometown after long absence.

- At first, he stops by the house of Suruga Kanbaru, who hangs out with Ougi these days. However, there is nobody at home except Hoshiame Higasa, a Suruga’s teammate in the school basketball club. Koyomi finds the apology phenomena doesn’t extend to his hometown by talking to her as well as his little sisters Karen and Tsukihi.
After Ougi comes back with Suruga, Koyomi elicits views on a series of the apology phenomena from Ougi, who is depicted as a male high schooler in Ougimonogatari. Suggesting five possibilities for them, Ougi explains four of the five (he is on the way to the house of Nadeko Sengoku to get out her drawings from her room).
Koyomi meets Mayoi Hachikuji, who takes over responsibility for telling the fifth possibility and the detail of the apparition of apology called “Ayamarei”, on the following day. The apparition forces people to apologize for no justifiable reason.
He encounters the boyfriend of Meniko and gets apologies from him at the university later. Since Koyomi understand that he is charged by the apparition to apologize, he gives a new order for him to stay away altogether from Meniko, overwriting the old order with the power of Shinobu Oshino, who was the king of apparitions.
It’s found out that all the subjects who are forced to apologize have a certain thing in common: they are students of Manase National University and graduate from Naoetsu Private High School, which corresponds Hitagi, Sodachi (though she transferred to another school) and the boyfriend of Meniko.
According to the research of Hoshiame, a third-grade Naoetsu Private High School student named Ochiba Joraku turns out the be the source of the apology apparition. She is situated in a desperate position to obtain an admission to Manase National University feeling jealousy against the current Senpai students who look happy and successful.
Koyomi goes visiting Ochiba to listen to her and gets Shinobu to take a bite at her and drain the apology apparition inside her body. In the last, Ougi suggests to take care of Ochiba in the future instead of Koyomi.
