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.

This book was originally published as two separate volumes in Japan, but the U.S. version will feature both volumes for the price of one.

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 Haruhi’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.

Haruhi’s escapades continue in two new short stories! In the first, “Editor in Chief,” Haruhi must save the SOS Brigade from being disbanded by the school. She has to prove that they are a legitimate literature club by publishing a collection of essays and stories. Naturally, Haruhi takes charge as editor in chief. In “Wandering Shadow,” Haruhi and the gang take on the spirit world when they investigate the haunting of a local dog walk. Will the group need to perform its first canine exorcism? Anything can happen when Haruhi is around!
