New Releases by Nagaru Tanigawa

Kyon and Yuki find a collapsed Kouyouen student who claims she was up all night trying to contact supernatural beings. The girl, Haruhi Suzumiya, soon overwhelms the literary club as an honorary member.

Quite out of the blue, Kyon receives a phone call from his middle school classmate Nakagawa. Six months ago, he spotted Kyon walking with the most beautiful girl he''d ever seen and instantly fell in love! Now he wants Kyon''s help conveying his feelings. But Nakagawa has no idea that the fair maiden who stole his heart is actually an otherworldly being...Nagato?! How will the stoic alien react to Nakagawa''s affections?!

Kyon is your ordinary high school freshman who has long given up on his childhood dreams of encountering the fantastic and supernatural...or so he thought. From the very first day of school, his classmate-the beautiful but eccentric Haruhi Suzumiya-makes it very clear that her only desire is to meet aliens, time travelers, and psychics! A chance conversation between the two inspires Haruhi to form the SOS Brigade, a school club created for the sole purpose of gathering together such supernatural beings. The initial members consist of the mute bookworm Yuki Nagato, the timid but voluptuous Miharu Asahina, and the polite and ever-smiling Itsuki Koizumi. By the end of this first volume, Kyon quickly finds out that these seemingly "helpless victims" of Haruhi''s are actually members of secret organizations-both futuristic and alien-with the single aim of keeping watch over Haruhi Suzumiya as she is the pinnacle of some major calamity on the horizon...

Swapping her Brigade Chief armband for a director''s chair, Haruhi continues production on the SOS Brigade''s school festival film project. As she watches her half-baked plot acted out in front of her, Haruhi longs even more for the supernatural reality depicted in her movie. And for Haruhi, bringing her script to life is wholly possible...and inevitably dangerous!

Following the clues in the clubroom, Kyon travels back in time to a familiar place...the same time and place he came with Asahina last summer! Kyon again meets with the elder Asahina, but she has no idea what''s caused the future to go awry - erm, to go normal. Stoic Nagato is not surprised to find future Kyon at her door (for the second time that night) and prepares a program that will repair the rift. But the decision to administer it or not lies with Kyon...

Something very, very strange is going on...because nothing strange is going on...Overnight, the SOS Brigade, the existence of supernatural beings, and Haruhi Suzumiya''s obsession with finding them (not to mention Haruhi herself!) have disappeared. Has the goddess lost her touch? And why is Kyon, who so often longed for a normal life, so upset to find all of it suddenly gone?

In a last-ditch attempt to recover their stolen equipment, the Computer Research Society challenges the SOS Brigade to a winner-takes-all multi-player space battle simulation! Failure seems inevitable, but losing is not an option! Can the unique members of the SOS Brigade pull together to destroy the expert Computer Research Society before Haruhi destroys the whole city?

You just can''t rein in the fun when Haruhi-chan''s involved!! Normally April Fool''s Day is a time for good-natured pranks, but with Haruhi''s power, any trick she pulls could threaten reality as we know it! While Koizumi struggles to organize the SOS Brigade to prepare for her antics, Haruhi is busy thinking up ways to recruit new members! Given the supernatural crowd already gathered in the clubroom, who knows what type of person Haruhi will summon to the SOS Brigade next?! If anyone shows up at all!! You''ll find plenty of gags and guffaws as Haruhi dives into the world of four-panel and short comics!!

"Let''s track down aliens, time travelers, and psychics and hang out with them!" Haruhi Suzumiya established the SOS Brigade for that sole purpose. But why''s she been acting so strange of late? So...melancholy? Unable to locate any supernatural beings (even though they''re right there in the club room the whole time), Haruhi''s frustrations turn violent. What''s Kyon gotten himself mixed up in this time?! Enjoy volume 2 of this somewhat abnormal high school story!

When the SOS Brigade receives an urgent message that the Computer Research Society''s president has gone missing, Haruhi confidently promises to locate him, and the SOS Brigade is off! Of course, they have no idea where to start... Is the new SOS Brigade insignia that Haruhi designed to blame for all of this???

The SOS Brigade gets browbeaten into entering a baseball tournament to help their fearless leader stave off boredom. But despite the Brigade''s clear lack of skill Haruhi has no intention of losing...and she''s ready to pitch a fit if her team doesn''t step up to the plate!

When high school student Souji Kushiki, an academic achiever and talented athlete from a well-to-do family, returns home from summer vacation, he finds that his sisters Harumi, Youko and Saki have changed. Their strangely clingy behavior borders on the inappropriate and bizarre, yet Souji just brushes off their mysterious conduct at first. However, when Souji arrives at school the next day, he learns that, during the summer, three students were murdered by an unknown culprit. Are the victims linked, and could Souji''s sisters have anything to do with the murders? With the help of his cheery and spunky new girlfriend Yukako Sasai, straight-laced Souji is about to venture into a mysterious world that might just be the death of him.

The second book in Japan''s hottest property, the international phenomenon known as Haruhism!

*하루히가 사라졌다? 그 심정은 이해가 가지만 “스즈미야 하루히? 그게 누군데?”라니, 쿠니키다 그렇게 생각하고 싶은 심정이야 이해 못하는 건 아니다만, 그렇게 진지하게 말할 것까지는 없잖아. 하지만 다른 녀석들도 하루히란 사람이 처음부터 없었다는 듯한 말투이다. 혼란에 빠진 내게 결정타를 날리듯 방긋거리는 얼굴로 교실에 나타난 여자는 날 죽이려고 했고, 또 그러다 소실되었던 반장, 아사쿠라 료코였다! 아무래도 난 전혀 웃을 수 없는 상황에 처한 것 같군. 인기 시리즈 제4권, 경악의 출발!
