Kadokawa is also releasing a fanbook "Suzumiya Haruhi-chan & Churuya-san no koushiki". Release date is September 26.

Am I the only one that thinks that, thus far, Nagato Yuki-chan is probably the most boring, limp little thing anyone could have possibly done with this series? Maybe it's just that I'm not really a Nagato fan (sorry), but it just seems incredibly generic to me and doesn't really capture any of the uniqueness of the original. I'm hoping that it will eventually pick up...

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you're right. I want to like it, since Puyo has a nice art style and can clearly do some great things with the characters and concepts (I find Haruhi-chan to be full of energy and fun, even if it's a little too centered on Nagato and fanservice in general, but what Haruhi merchandise in general isn't?). Nagato Yuki-chan just seems to be starting off pretty slow and with a little too much "formulaic harem manga" feeling. Hopefully that's just to lull the readers into a sense of complacency before pulling off a nice twist and kicking up the pacing.

I suppose you could argue that there's relationship stuff going on, but outside Yuki/Kyon, it's either being manufactured by someone else(Mikuru), to motivate another girl(Asakura), or non-existent(Tsuruya).

Agree. However, Nagato-chan suffer from a problem with the side of the chapter and it periodicity. 19 pages is just too few for a mothly manga. Really. It is 3 mouths already and nothing happened yet. If it was weekly, we would have 12 chapters now. |

Anyway... I still have hope for the series, I really do. I wouldn't bother reading it otherwise. It's just that for me, the opening chapters really drag. If it weren't for the Haruhi character names and designs, I couldn't see this standing out in any particular way from the rest of the stuff out there. |

Finally got to read it, and one thing in particular stands out: Monday, December 22nd.
There are two things this proves. 1: So far, the only years since the turn of the century that have had that date are 2003 and 2008, with the next being in 2014. As I doubt the series takes place in the future, it's one of the other two. 2: With chapter 4 being placed on December 22nd, the previous three chapters occured during the same time period as the other Disappearance. Given the fact that Kyon has already been a member of the Lit. Club for a week, this means he's completely unaware of the other world, if there even is one in this story. At the very least, he's missed the deadline.
