As it says on the link above:

So, here’s the whole deal about Patty in this book :
As a reminder, Patty is a character who’s been created for the drama cd. Tho KyoAni gave her decent time of appearance in the anime, the author just never knew how to use her in the actual manga. So, she appeared only a few times until now.
But seems like the author finally thought of a way of using her in the story : Patty is an exchange student who comes to live at Konata’s place. But doing so, the author has actually RESETED ALL THE CHARS’ MEMORIES OF PATTY O_o
She got introduced just as if she had never appeared before, and nobody knows her. She directly joins Yutaka’s class as a second year student, making all the time they spent as first-years as if it never happened.
Really weird… but heh, now Patty gets a reason to appear more often, so I guess it’s ok… ?

Very nice character pics, by the way If only the English releases were much quicker...
