The western Bakemonogatari

>>9562983
Anything by Murakami.

I´ve read some of his novels already, maybe should I try 1Q84?

I think Monogatari is too fundamentally Japanese to have a "western" equivalent

Have you read Zaregoto?

Well, I just want to feel in a similar way as with monogatari, the western part is mostly curiosity and the wish for some kind of counterpart to exist.

Nope, is it good?

Maybe. Have you read The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle? It has a comfy feeling of ordinarily with a mixture of unexpected incoherence, a fantasy within the dialy lifestyle, like a miracle between the repetition of the days. And I think it conveys a similar sentiment of what you are looking for. Plus it has waifus (You'll reconize the Snail in her first appearance). Seriously, you can read it as an anime. It's an easy reading with at least one or two storys inside the main story. Don't get intimidate on its length, you will finish it in a wink.
Another one that comes to mind is The Savage Detectives, by Roberto Bolaño. I cannot connect it on what you're requesting but somehow I got a feeling of loneliness or melancholy masked in youth and humor.

Honestly, and people are gonna rag on me for this, Infinite Jest. When I first watched Monogatari, I thought to myself, "this is what you would get if David Foster Wallace was kidnapped in the mid-nineties and forced to watch Tenchi Muyo in a bunker for five years straight."

Both works are dialogue-heavy and have large, twisting plotlines. Both have that taste for ironic sensibility and anticlimactic endings. Both have a bit of a perverted streak that contrasts its sincere, self-help ethic. Both have a disaffected high school senior as the main character. The similarities go on.

Gravity's Rainbow is also a good answer, but not nearly as much as Infinite Jest, IMO. There's a reason why these two books are part of the 4chan meme trilogy, they appeal to our kind

Op here, thanks for the answers but I´ve already read TW-UBC, IJ and GR. In fact, I ended IJ like two weeks ago and im searching for this kind of wive; as one of you said, like ironic sensibility.

What is the western Kagerou Daze?
