Teranishi and Ejji go to a reunion at their old junior high school, with the main event being the unearthing of a time capsule buried twenty years ago. It contains all sorts of photographs and memories, including letters that the kids had written to each other. Teranishi recalls writing a letter to Kumi Shinoda, a girl whom the class despised because she was a relentless bully who complained about everything.
Five high schoolers have formed a club to study the supernatural. Its members include leader Hikaru Shibayama, who exhibits minor powers of telekinesis; and Kiyoshi Kitagawa, who can see human spirits. The kids are excited to hear that Shibayama has been invited to appear on TV to demonstrate his abilities. At their school, a new transfer student named Ryou Tsukano arrives. Tsukano claims that his favorite hobby is going for long walks because he always finds something exciting and special.
This third volume in the Haruhi Suzumiya series is a collection of four exciting short stories that take place before The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya. 1. **Suzumiya Haruhi no Taikutsu** (涼宮ハルヒの退屈, The Boredom of Haruhi Suzumiya) In her latest attempt to give the SOS Brigade more public exposure, Haruhi signs them up for the city-wide baseball tournament. 2. **Sasa no Ha Rhapsody** (笹の葉ラプソディ, Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody) It’s like Back to the Future! To prevent an impending disaster, Mikuru takes Kyon back in time, where he meets Haruhi during her middle school years. 3. **Mysterique Sign** (ミステリックサイン) The computer club president mysteriously disappears, and it’s up to the SOS Brigade to get to the bottom of it! 4. **Kotou Shoukougun** (孤島症候群, Remote Island Syndrome) It’s vacation time when a relative of Itsuki’s invites the SOS Brigade to stay at his island villa. But when a dead body turns up, Haruhi and the gang naturally get involved in a thrilling murder mystery. (Source: Yen Press) *Note: Includes a prologue.*
Two stories continue the adventure in Volume 8 of the Haruhi Suzumiya series. 1. **Henshuuchou ★ Itchokusen!** (編集長★一直線!, Editor-in-Chief, Straight Ahead!) Since the beginning of the year, the SOS Brigade has been masking as the Literature Club to be recognized as an official high school organization. But when the new student council president threatens to disband the group, the members must write a collection of literature. Naturally, Haruhi assume the role of editor-in-chief and leads the team to publication with hilarious results. 2. **Wandering Shadow** (ワンダリング・シャドウ) From writers to detectives, the SOS Brigade does it all. When fellow classmate Sanaka comes to the club seeking help, the team (well, Haruhi) is up to the task. A well-trodden popular park path has suddenly begun to terrify the neighborhood dogs, and Haruhi suspects that its being haunted by animal spirits. It looks like the SOS Brigade is about to perform its first first canine exorcism! (Source: Yen Press)
As the SOS Brigade rings in the New Year with a shrine visit, there's a surprising lack of supernatural or reality-bending phenomena. Despite this, Kyon is as wary as ever. After all, Haruhi has a tendency to turn even the most mundane events into impossible uproars! That danger could not be more apparent than when their club activities lead them into the world of school wonders and whodunit mysteries. Even peaceful moments are remarkably eccentric when Haruhi is around... (Source: Yen Press) *Note: Contains the side stories "Random Numbers", "Nanafushigi Overtime" and "Tsuruya-san's Challenge".*
It's the end of the world as we know it - or is it? Gorgeous, confident, and demanding, Haruhi Suzumiya is the leader of the SOS Brigade, a club comprised of her high school's most extraordinary students. So when Haruhi is bored, it's up to the SOS Brigade do something about it. In this sequel to the clever and uniquely witty The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, the SOS Brigade goes along with Haruhi's scheme to make a movie for the school's upcoming festival. But when filming begins, strange things start to happen, and Haruhi-who has no idea she's a goddess with the ability to destroy the world-starts to show her devastating powers. Could the end be near? Or is it just another day at high school? You never know when Haruhi is involved! (Source: Yen Press) *Note: Includes a prologue and epilogue.*
Two sisters and their cleaning-obsessed mother are at first only mildly annoyed by their drains being clogged. Until the drains begin to leak a foul smell and moaning.
Konishi, Kawaguchi and Takashio are three old friends from university. When a passenger plane carrying Takashio loses signal en route, Konishi insists on going out to search, against the advice of his sister and Kawaguchi.
**HARUHI’S SHOW MUST GO ON!** Kyon has woken up in strange places before, but a classic fantasy world where Haruhi’s the legendary hero is a first, even for him. He can’t remember how he or the rest of the SOS Brigade got there, and it doesn’t seem like there’s any way to leave. Things get even stranger when the gang falls face-first into one genre after another—from spaghetti westerns to space operas! It looks like the only way to go home is to break a leg and get these shows on the road! (Source: Yen Press)
