Although I often run it in Japanese, today it was set to English. The books are also set to English (according to the "Details" within My Books).

They're all from the same source, I purchased the bundle of epubs shown on this page, but I didn't see any sample here:
https://www.humblebundle.com/books/m...ent=cta_button
Prompted by your questions, I dug around a bit and found the ebooks on the publisher's site:
https://kodanshacomics.com/series/bakemonogatari/
When I clicked through into one of the books, samples weren't directly available. However, there was a link to buy the book at the Kobo store where you can grab a sample to view on your Kobo. However, when I looked at the sample on my Kobo, it was formatted correctly.
Since the Kobo store sample is a Kobo epub and the books I bought in the bundle were DRM-free standard epubs, I'm guessing that there's some difference between the two that's causing the issue I'm seeing.
I noticed something else while playing around with it just now. If a word with an apostrophe in it hits the end of a line just after the apostrophe, it will break the word there. In other words, the word She's will break like:
She'
s
... if it happens to fall just right at the end of a line. This seems to be along the lines of your thought about strange characters although I don't know why they would use different characters in the DRM-free epub.
