I have said numerous times that Haruhi is the greatest anime/light novel series ever, so I decided to read the manga. Going in, I expected copious amounts of Adaptation Decay and I was most certainly right. However, while most fans find that the re-ordering of events ruins the storyline or makes it impossible to read, that is the precise reason why I decided to read it.

If you like the show, you'll also like the manga. You'll also find the movie adaptation in vol 7, 8, and 9. Since the series never got a full anime adaptation, you'll need to read this if you want to find any kind of conclusion to the series. That said, a *true* conclusion isn't necessarily...fully there.
While there is a conclusion that leaves enough information to fill in some of the blanks, sadly the ending really didn't answer many things. (Not really sure if that is a spoiler??) It answered a few questions, but ultimately much more is still left unanswered. The ending itself literally ... |
