The Novel and Manga of Haruhi Suzumiya

[besieger]

Nobunaga maybe a Daimyo, but he's not a royalty. Just a very powerful servant, in technicality.

[Tyabann]

I was thinking more of a name with several complicated kanji, read in a very unorthodox way, or something of that kind.

This one?



Or this one?

[Tyabann]

Dear god those are ridiculous.

Yeah, probably something of that type, but with an incredibly unintuitive reading.

[bhl88]

Don't bother with this one... despite having the most number of strokes, this one only repeats dragon and thunder.

Given that his nickname is "Kyon", I would not be surprised if his given name contains a character pronounced as kyo/kyou.

Probably the one that means "misfortune", given Kyon's luck.

[besieger]

Btw it's not thunder, it's cloud. =3

A release date hasn't been announced yet.

Almost certainly. I imagine a lot of people will be posting when Volume 10 comes out... ^_^

As for when that might be, see above posts and different threads. We've had discussion on this recently, as in the last few days, but I don't remember where. Nothing more than speculation at this point, though.

Bought the first two novels from Little Brown.
I don't see anything missing, and they also added a preview of the manga, but I don't like the used paper. It feels to me like low quality paper...

+1 for the second one. It's hilarious.

Amazon has moved the official English translation of Boredom's status with the hardcover stocking in one to two days and the paperback in stock. Those who pre-ordered should be getting an e-mail soon when the novel ships. For those in the USA who purchase the book from a local store, it should be time to begin your hunt very soon.

Edit: There's also going to be a book entitled "Haruhi in USA. A Study on the internationalization of Japanese Anime" released in Japan on July 9th.

I've always wondered, what will happen if

Spoiler for Wait for it...:

Sasaki and Haruhi try to make each other non-existent?

Well, considering Sasaki has no power (and arguably never did/will, if the Anti Dan is lying to Kyon), that's a pretty obvious answer.

There is only one Haruhi.

Otherwise the Anti-Sos-dan wouldn't need Kyon at all.

Now this sounds like tug of war... or CTF to me now. :>

Sounds like a shell game to me. The guy behind the table spends his time trying to make you wonder what's under which cup, while his buddy in the crowd is picking your pocket.

The last time I checked, Sasaki can warp reality too. The only difference was that she recognized her power but couldn't care less about it.
