My point exactly; they have no friendship bond with Sakaki like Hauhi has with her team. If Sakaki has no intention to abuse her powers, it doesn't mean they wouldn't.

Given Mikuru's attachment to Kyon for protection, and her clear physical attraction for Koizumi during his first appearance

I totally missed this. What happened there?

Is this too soon for saying such thing. We don't know much of about the Anti-SOS Dan, so speaking of the bond betweem the members seem (to me ) a bit too premature.
And don't forget than the ''friendship'' betweem the members of the SOS-Dan did not start at first, it taked time and experience. Give time to the Anti-SOS-Dan and we may find some kind of bond betweem the members.

In the first novel, when Koizumi is introduced, Mikuru is pretty much struck dead by his looks, tries to get up from the desk to introduce herself properly, falls over, and Koizumi rushes over to pick her up, upon which she stares glowingly at him.

It was also animated as one of the extra scenes on the DVDs.

I checked the yen press website today on the blog entry today it's says that the first volume of the manga will be released in October and will have a sneak peek of the first book.

I was happy to hear this because the little brown website has nothing about the series on it and from what i can gather there hasn't been alot of news other than it was licensed i kind of thought that maybe they weren't going to release it. so it's good to here that at least part of the book has be translated.

and on a side note how much has the manga adapted from the books?

[typhonsentra]

Amazon has it listed for October 28.

[ijuinkun]

The manga actually follows the books a little more closely than the anime did. For example, a LOT of Kyon's metaphors and references were left in, such as the ongoing theme of Haruhi's quest for paranormal things being like The Bluebird of Happiness (i.e. it's closer than you realize), or his likening Adult Mikuru's sending him on missions to an RPG.

That's great news because I would lose the desire to buy it with Rightstuff's release date:

The Amazon link is to the first volume of the manga. The Rightstuff link is to the first NOVEL.

[typhonsentra]

Yep. Still no clue what the hell they're holding back the novel so long for though. Even if you have a limited number of translators it isn't as if there isn't already a rough translation to check with. Pretty curious but at least they seem serious about introducing LN to a broader audience, unlike some people who half-assed it.

*Cough* VIZ *Cough*

The ones having the right of the Novel are part of a Major General editing conpagnie.
Not some peoples looking for niche group salling

Damn.. I knew it was too good to be true.

So we won't be expecting another chapter of the novel series anytime soon?

No information. It is better to just think that the creator is dead, and that the series is discontinued. Your life will be happier this way.

... *attempts* ... now I'm sad

[tehjoker]

If only its true.

[ganbaru]

Not knowing is the worse.

[typhonsentra]

Just move on to another series. There are several light novels that are just as good or arguably better. And they get regular releases.

exemples,please?(as good seem unlikely but "better"i'd like to know even if it isn't translated in english)

[typhonsentra]

From what I've seen of it, I enjoy Spice and Wolf more, Full Metal Panic too. Toradora and Zero's Familiar aren't quite as good but they're still enjoyable and receive regular releases.
