Kyon is your ordinary high school freshman who has long given up on his childhood dreams of encountering the fantastic and supernatural...or so he thought. From the very first day of school, his classmate-the beautiful but eccentric Haruhi Suzumiya-makes it very clear that her only desire is to meet aliens, time travelers, and psychics! A chance conversation between the two inspires Haruhi to form the SOS Brigade, a school club created for the sole purpose of gathering together such supernatural beings. The initial members consist of the mute bookworm Yuki Nagato, the timid but voluptuous Miharu Asahina, and the polite and ever-smiling Itsuki Koizumi. By the end of this first volume, Kyon quickly finds out that these seemingly "helpless victims" of Haruhi's are actually members of secret organizations-both futuristic and alien-with the single aim of keeping watch over Haruhi Suzumiya as she is the pinnacle of some major calamity on the horizon...
“ฉันไม่สนใจมนุษย์ธรรมดา ถ้าในที่นี้มีใครเป็นมนุษย์ต่างดาว คนจากโลกอนาคต ผู้มีพลังจิต ก็ขอให้มาหาฉันได้ แค่นี้แหละ!” หลังจบการแนะนำตัวสุดประหลาดของสึซึมิยะ ฮารุฮิ ในวันแรกของการเปิดเรียน เพื่อนๆ ในชั้นต่างพากันอึ้งกิมกี่ราวกับโลกทั้งใบหยุดนิ...
Say Haruhiiiiiii! As if he doesn't have enough to deal with during the day, Kyon's dreams are becoming a regular haunt for his SOS friends! Once again, lucky(?) omens hawk, eggplant, and Mount Fuji (played respectively by Tsuruya, Nagato, and Koizumi) make an appearance, but their promises of fortune never seems to play out for Kyon. All he ever gets is more of Haruhi-chan's antics! You'll find plenty of gags and guffaws as Haruhi dives into the world of four-panel and short comics!!
"Let's track down aliens, time travelers, and psychics and hang out with them!" Haruhi Suzumiya established the SOS Brigade for that sole purpose. But why's she been acting so strange of late? So...melancholy? Unable to locate any supernatural beings (even though they're right there in the club room the whole time), Haruhi's frustrations turn violent. What's Kyon gotten himself mixed up in this time?! Enjoy volume 2 of this somewhat abnormal high school story!
Guided only by a series of notes that direct him to do the most inexplicable things-"Buy a small turtle and throw it into the lake"?-Kyon and the Mikuru from eight days in the future complete the assigned tasks, hoping that things will become clear as the SOS Brigade's adventures for that week continue. But Kyon and Mikuru's scavenger hunt soon turns to a manhunt when Mikuru is kidnapped by a group of rogue espers, time travelers, and aliens!
Following the clues in the clubroom, Kyon travels back in time to a familiar place...the same time and place he came with Asahina last summer! Kyon again meets with the elder Asahina, but she has no idea what's caused the future to go awry - erm, to go normal. Stoic Nagato is not surprised to find future Kyon at her door (for the second time that night) and prepares a program that will repair the rift. But the decision to administer it or not lies with Kyon...
Quite out of the blue, Kyon receives a phone call from his middle school classmate Nakagawa. Six months ago, he spotted Kyon walking with the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen and instantly fell in love! Now he wants Kyon's help conveying his feelings. But Nakagawa has no idea that the fair maiden who stole his heart is actually an otherworldly being...Nagato?! How will the stoic alien react to Nakagawa's affections?!
Swapping her Brigade Chief armband for a director's chair, Haruhi continues production on the SOS Brigade's school festival film project. As she watches her half-baked plot acted out in front of her, Haruhi longs even more for the supernatural reality depicted in her movie. And for Haruhi, bringing her script to life is wholly possible...and inevitably dangerous!
A new school year means fresh blood for the SOS Brigade! But not just anyone can join this elite group of alien-, time traveler-, and esper-hunters! As Haruhi puts the new recruits through their paces in one timeline, the veteran members visit the ailing Yuki in the other. Yuki reveals that her illness may be the work of other humanoid interfaces like herself, but when Kyon rushes to confront them, he runs into a familiar face he had hoped he would never see again...!
One weekend, when Kyon reaches the usual SOS Brigade rendezvous spot, he is met not by his fellow club members, but instead by Sasaki, an old friend from middle school. Haruhi isn't thrilled to find Kyon already waiting when she arrives (Who's going to buy drinks?!) and is even less thrilled by his attractive female friend!
