After the teaser chapter, my heart has been warming up to Asakura quite a bit. Previously I don't care about her that much since she played a pretty minor role in the stories. Now I am actually quite amused/fond of her obsession of killing Kyon.

AmyElizzabeth · 2011-04-29, 12:30

I still don't really like her..never been too fond of her. Although I kinda

So you prefer flamethrowers?

For the record, as there are some of us who have chosen not to look at the teaser and are instead opting to wait until the full thing is released, that conversation constitutes a pretty major spoiler.

ryvrdrgn14 · 2011-04-29, 15:35

I really do hope that the quality of the release and the sales of the novel are enough for more anime seasons of Haruhi. ^_^

I've done some research today on the novel sales in Japan since the anime started in April 2006. Here is how the series has grown from a popular series to historic levels:

Reporting Date |Amount sold|Volumes|Amount Sold per Volume|Reporting Difference |Difference from 2006
Apr-06 | 1500000 | *7 | 214286
Dec-06 | 2800000 | *8 | 350000 | 87% | *87%
Dec-07 | 4300000 | *9 | 477778 | 54% | 187%
Dec-08 | 5300000 | *9 | 588889 | 23% | 253%
Feb-09 | 5600000 | *9 | 622222 | *6% | 273%
Jan-10 | 6000000 | *9 | 666667 | *7% | 300%
Apr-11 | 7000000 | *9 | 777778 | 17% | 367%
Jun-11 | 8000000 | 11 | 727273 | 14% | 433%

The first pressing of Surprise's Limited Edition contains 2 volumes and will be printed 513,000 times for 1,026,000 copies to be sold sometime near the end of this month and into next month.

Tensei · 2011-05-04, 02:35

And people on the internet say Haruhi isn't famous

I say let's celebrate in honor of this information

Nice job ~~Koizumi~~

jin jin5000 · 2011-05-09, 22:07

im going to pick up the korean copy when it comes out and can ship after the chaos dies down lol

s07195 · 2011-05-10, 05:07

14 and a bit more days...... can't wait.
Oh, and here's the site for Taiwan and HK.
What's with the music?

ultimatemegax · 2011-05-10, 07:20

A new CM was placed on Kadokawa's youtube channel.

Link

As expected, no new information from this CM.

For those ordering the latest issue of Comptiqs, you will get a 2 special tumbler covers (one with Haruhi/Mikuru/Yuki and one with only the mysterious blue cover girl). Also, The Sneaker has updated their website. I believe I've read that they will be moving to an online/e-book format, but I cannot confirm that at this time. Those are the latest updates to Kadokawa's special Haruhi novel site.

s07195 · 2011-05-12, 04:27

So, any news on if these are the last 2 novels? I kinda read on some magazine that it was the last 2, but not too sure if it is reliable.
I hope the series doesn't end yet...but then who (on this forum) doesn't? I mean, there are still so many loose ends to tie up!

Kogetsu Shirogane · 2011-05-12, 04:50

That rumor again? While I'm pretty much okay with the series ending by this point, I'd imagine there's still more that can be done with it.

Actually doing something with Koizumi comes to mind.

Eep~! Nice to see that the final chapter is ALMOST around the corner.

Just managed to pick up the most-recent English-translated hardcover not long ago.
