Well, I am not sure about that especially whenever you have franchises like Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest to worry about. Also, I hope Haruhi doesn't possess its own share of tards who only but the manga and anime and all of sudden believe that they know all about Japan just because they see it on television and manga.

So, I was on chapters.indigo.ca, looking to see if I could find out if Yen Press liscenced any more manga, when I saw a tab called “The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya" by Nagaru Tanigawa, published by Little, Brown, to be released on October 1, 2009. I also saw this on amazon UK, so it might be legit.
I can't post a link now because I'm on a computer that can't copy or paste, so go to chapters.indigo.ca, type "Haruhi Suzumiya" in the search box and it should be the 6th item, or right under "TMoHS Manga Vol. 3". I promise, this is not an April Fools.

^nice! I am taking my time, while, I have been really busing with prep I had for an automotive comp. but now that I finished that, I have been reading the book a lot. So far so good up to chapter 3, only thing that has pissed me off is the "big brother" thing instead of onii-chan that I have gotten used to. Minor thing, but the rest is really good, more "refined" than the BT translation. Solid 9/10 so far.

Here is just something from the novel.
Data Integration Thought Entity = Data Overmind(from the english novel) I couldn't get used to this the whole time I was reading it. Its got me thinking about this. Last edited by Tunafishisgood; 2009-04-05 at 22:49. |

Asakura's obviously a Hunter Killer. Blades for close combat and spikes thrown from mid range fit the Hydralisk mold well.
Yuki's a caster type, but I'd peg her as a Defiler rather than a Queen, mostly because I equate the barrier she used to defend herself and Kyon in Melancholy IV with Dark Swarm. We could also call her erasing of Asakura as Consume if we say that Yuki absorbed her data and reused it in Disappearance, though a bit of a stretch. All we need now is an equivalent for Plague.

So she's gonna overthrow the Data Overmind and take control of the Swarm for her own enjoyment, becoming Queen Bitch of the Universe?
I don't think she's that high up on the food chain. Perhaps instead we should be comparing Interfaces to Cerebrates. Interfaces are created to collect data and relay it back to their superiors. Certain Cerebrates are sent forth with the sole purpose of evolving the Swarm, collecting the genetic information of species deemed important to the pursuit of "purity of essence." We could equate that to the Data Entity's pursuit of auto-evolution, which seems to be the final rung of the evolutionary ladder. Any takers? If nothing we can go back to Yuki and her uber micro.

She won't be able to do any of that unless if Haruhi has decided to act as the Arcturus.
Moving back to reality, it's been a long time since us translators at Baka-Tsuki had done anything on Haruhi given how that the novels came to a standstill by volume 9. I am very surprised actually at how long it has taken for the novels to finally be officially released in the states, and what's more shocking, in this rather terrible economic quagmire. I hope that Little, Brown will actually be able to garner sufficient fundings and get it out and actually turn a profit.
