Also, MOON PHASE was just updated again with some general spoilers from vol.9 (I didn't want to read it myself, but my eyes just landed on them when the page loaded, damn it). I'll put them here, but don't read unless you don't mind being spoiled.

Spoiler:

- Alternate world visiter (slider)
- All SOS-dan members advance one grade. No class changes. Haruhi stays behind Kyon.
- "Nagato Yuki's Counterattack Episode 00 Preview" airs. It was filmed during spring break.
- Haruhi and the gang are seeking new members for the combined Literature club SOS-dan.
- Student council president and Kimidori-san appears once again.
- Even though Haruhi is supposed to be in a great mood, it seems like she's becoming unstable unconsciously, with <<Shinjins>> going on rampages every night.
- It has been a while (since he last fought them), so Koizumi is currently exhausted from work.
- The reason is something that happened on the last day of spring break, cue flashback.
- Kyon's junior high friend, Sasaki, appears. A guy who rambles a lot like Koizumi. A call from Sudou wanting to hold a reunion or something.

If those spoilers end up being true, then... Wow. That answers a big question.
