<hr>

<p>How do these relate to the light novels and the animes?</p>

<p>Do they have the same stories (e.g. Bakemonogatari) and sub stories (e.g. Hitagai Crab)?<br>
If they do, which stories and sub stories have been released?</p>

Having not read it I'll refrain from posting an answer, but if you're still wondering after three years what I've heard is the manga more or less adapts the first two arcs before going completely off the rails and becoming its own thing--almost a tribute to the original instead.

@蛞蝓真宵 Thanks! I may buy the manga to validate if that's the case.
