Try the manga know as "The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan". It was made by the same person that gave us the Haruhi-chan manga (and related web episodes).
It is a slightly sillier version of the Haruhi universe, but takes place in the alternate version of Disapperance of Haruhi (it also uses more anime styled character art than the Haruhi-chan version). It is more serious than Haruhi-chan and is essentially what happens if Kyon decides to stay...or more accurately, what if that was how it always was (Kyon being native to the universe, thus doesn't remember Haruhi either).
It is an interesting take on the matter. Though time and space has a tendancy to still put people together, even if it isn't as serious as the film version. (at least until about chapter 25, then I say things shift a bit. Still don't know how that will play out in the end).
The Literature Club is an interesting bunch: Yuki, Ryoko, and Kyon (plus Kyon's two friends on the list but don't participate in activities often...just so the club has enough members). Then there is the "others" Unofficial members and those that take part in activities: From North High....Juniors Mikuru and Tsuruya and from the outside....Itsuki and Haruhi (Haruhi insisted). The focus is mostly Yuki (her feeling for Kyon), and Ryoko (her mothering tendancies towards Yuki), with it sometimes going to Kyon, and rarely, to Haruhi. Itsuki follows Haruhi for the most part and is probably he must underused character. Mikuru generally just gets caught up in Tsuruya's schemes and rivalry with Ryoko (their rivalry is quite fun and funny).
