The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

Haruhi: Book 1

Nagaru Tanigawa

Haruhi holds the fate of the universe in her hands... lucky for you she doesn't know it!

Meet Haruhi - a cute, determined girl, starting high school in a city where nothing exciting happens and absolutely no one understands her.

Meet Kyon - the sarcastic guy who sits in front of Haruhi in homeroom and the only boy Haruhi has ever opened up to. His fate is now tied to hers.

Meet the S.O.S. Brigade - an after-school club organized by Haruhi with a mission to seek out the extraordinary. Oh, and their secondary mission? Keeping Haruhi happy... because even though she doesn't know it, Haruhi has the power to destroy the universe...

Seriously!

The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya

Haruhi: Book 2

Nagaru Tanigawa

The bestselling series that took the world by storm continues with this hilarious and sly second book.

Gorgeous, confident, and demanding, Haruhi Suzumiya is the leader of the SOS Brigade, a club comprised of her high school's most extraordinary students. So when Haruhi is bored, it's up to the SOS Brigade to do something about it.

As the SOS Brigade prepares for the upcoming cultural festival, eccentric high school student and oblivious god Haruhi decides to make a movie. The star-the beautiful and reluctant Mikuru. But as filming begins, strange things begin to happen and Mikuru begins to develop superpowers. It soon becomes obvious that Haruhi's powers to change the universe are bleeding through the movie and into real life! As things begin to escalate, the SOS Brigade is called to set things right before Haruhi discovers the truth and awakens her true destructive potential. Could the end be near? Or is it just another day at high school? You never know when Haruhi is involved!

The Boredom of Haruhi Suzumiya

Haruhi: Book 3

Nagaru Tanigawa

Haruhi is the bossy and beautiful leader of the SOS Brigade, a club comprised of her high school's most extraordinary (and strangest) students. On a typical day, the SOS Brigade must struggle to keep Haruhi happy and occupied because, unbeknownst to her, Haruhi has the power to destroy the world!

This third volume in the Haruhi Suzumiya series is a collection of four exciting short stories that chronologically take place before The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya.

The Boredom of Haruhi Suzumiya:

In her latest attempt to give the S.O.S. Brigade more public exposure, Haruhi signs the group up for the city-wide baseball tournament. Featuring the bat that can only hit home runs.

Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody:

It's like Back To the Future! In order to prevent an impending disaster, Mikuru takes Kyon back in time, where he meets Haruhi as a seventh grader. Haruhi was just as much trouble then as well!

Mysterique Sign:

The computer club president at school mysteriously disappears, and it's up to the S.O.S. Brigade to get to the bottom of it!

Remote Island Syndrome:

It's vacation time when a relative of Itsuki's invites the S.O.S. Brigade to stay at his island villa. But then a dead body turns up, and Haruhi and the gang get mixed up in a thrilling murder mystery. Zoinks!

The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya

Haruhi: Book 4

Nagaru Tanigawa

What if you woke up one morning, and everything had changed?

It's one week before Christmas Eve, and Haruhi and the S.O.S. Brigade (a club for her high school's strangest and most extraordinary students) are gearing up for holiday festivities. But just before the fun kicks off, Kyon, the only "normal" member, wakes up one morning in a weird alternate dimension, one where Haruhi attends another school entirely, Nagato, the robot-like alien, is just an ordinary human, and Mikuru (the cute girl of Kyon's dreams) doesn't even recognize him-in other words, the S.O.S. Brigade never existed.

The only clue Kyon can find is a bookmark left by the alien version of Nagato, which leads him on a quest back in time, where he interacts with the storyline from "Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody", a short story from the previous Haruhi book, The Boredom of Haruhi Suzumiya.

This fun and quirky holiday tale is reminiscent of A Christmas Carol and It's a Wonderful Life.

Time travel, alternate dimensions, and aliens, oh my! With Haruhi, there's a surprise around every corner.

The Rampage of Haruhi Suzumiya

Luckily, she has her SOS Brigade (a club comprised of her high school's most extraordinary students) to keep her happy.

This fifth volume in the wildly fun and unpredictable Haruhi Suzumiya series features three short stories for Haruhi's every mood.

Endless Eight:

An endless (never-ending) summer of fun. Featuring the time-loop from hell!

The Day of Sagittarius:

A heated (overheated) competition with the computer club. The computer club vowed revenge on the SOS Brigade, but they didn't reckon on Haruhi's secrect weapon, the alien Nagato and her abilty with games and (primitive) computer programming

Snowy Mountain Syndrome:

A ski trip getaway (with a dangerous blizzard!). And anything that can take the super-alien Nagato out, is bad news.

The last story, which brings the SOS Brigade back to the present, rounds out this collection of entertaining, hilarious, and, as always, unpredictable misadventures. Anything is possible in Haruhi's world!

Live Alive:

The Intrigues of Haruhi Suzumiya

Haruhi: Book 7

Nagaru Tanigawa

After closing the time loop fiasco in The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya (Vol. 5), Kyon is ready to start a new year with a blank slate--no time travel, no apocalyptic worries, and maybe some actual peace and quiet with the SOS Brigade, a club comprised of his high school's most extraordinary students. Their leader is Haruhi, a bold, brash girl who doesn't realize that she's actually a powerful goddess whose moods can easily change the balance of the universe.

Just as Kyon starts to get comfortable, he gets a visit from his friend Mikuru. Except this isn't his Mikuru; it's a Mikuru from eight days in the future! Time traveling shenanigans start all over again as Kyon, guided by the future Mikuru, attempts to stop a terrible future from becoming a reality.

The Indignation of Haruhi Suzumiya

Haruhi: Book 8

Nagaru Tanigawa

Two stories continue the adventure in Volume 8 of the Haruhi Suzumiya series.

Editor-in-Chief, Straight Ahead!

Since the beginning of the year, the SOS Brigade has been masking itself as the Literature Club to be recognized as an official high school organization. But when the new student council president threatens to disband the group, the members must write a collection of literature. Naturally, Haruhi assume the role of editor-in-chief and leads the team to publication with hilarious results.

Wandering Shadow:

From writers to detectives, the SOS Brigade does it all. When fellow classmate Sanaka comes to the club seeking help, the team (well, Haruhi) is up to the task. A well-trodden popular park path has suddenly begun to terrify the neighborhood dogs, and Haruhi suspects that it's being haunted by animal spirits. It looks like the SOS Brigade is about to perform its first canine exorcism!

The Dissociation of Haruhi Suzumiya

Haruhi: Book 9

Nagaru Tanigawa

As the second year of high school begins, Haruhi's cynical and sarcastic confidant Kyon, the only "normal" member of the SOS Brigade, finds himself meeting Sasaki, an old friend from his days in junior high. Haruhi and Sasaki's shared friendship with Kyon and, possibly, shared abilities, causes tension between the two and Kyon knows Haurhi's dissatisfaction can have dire consequences! Kyon and Sasaki's chance meeting could affect his future, the future of the SOS Brigade, and the world forever.

This ninth volume of the Haruhi Suzumiya series is the first to use two alternate stories lines for the same plot, which brings the Brigade to different endings. Or is it the same ending? One can never tell with Haruhi. The story continues in the next novel, The Surprise of Haruhi Suzumiya.

The Surprise of Haruhi Suzumiya

Haruhi: Book 10

Nagaru Tanigawa

Where Haruhi goes, trouble follows!

The two storylines from The Disassociation of Haruhi Suzumiya continue, introducing a new inductee into the S.O.S. brigade who may be more than just the eager freshman she appears to be. As the two realities converge, the SOS Brigade learns that the new member may have the ability to bring the two story "timelines" together... and save the world in the process.

The Intuition of Haruhi Suzumiya

Haruhi: Book 11

Nagaru Tanigawa

Sometimes, even Haruhi doesn't know what she wants!

As the SOS Brigade rings in the New Year with a shrine visit, there's a surprising lack of supernatural or reality-bending phenomena. Despite this, Kyon is as wary as ever. After all, Haruhi has a tendency to turn even the most mundane events into impossible uproars! That danger could not be more apparent than when their club activities lead them into the world of school wonders and whodunit mysteries. Even peaceful moments are remarkably eccentric when Haruhi is around...
