Synopsis

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 getting these supernatural beings together. The initial members consist of the mute bookworm Yuki Nagato, the timid but voluptuous Mikuru 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–keeping watch over Haruhi as she is the pinnacle of some major calamity on the horizon…

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 ...

The Haruhi Susumiya series has been a big name in the anime community since the anime premiered way back in 2006. It managed to find a large audience and influence otaku culture in a massive way, and the impact it left is still highly noticeable.

I personally find the manga above the anime, but beneath the original light novels, and let me explain why.

Firstly, unlike the anime, we didn't have to wait 3 years just to get 8 episodes of the same exact gimmick. Fans of the series know exactly what I'm talking about, and I won't say any more for the sake of spoilers. ...

“The Melancholy of Suzumiya ” is a series well known in the community, once a flagship series, due to it’s crazy plot and characters. As far as the manga goes, it fell short of expectations. Before anyone gets upset by this (as I’m sure some will), It is easy to appreciate the wacky themes of Suzumiya and the challenging concepts that are played around with. I really do think the idea is good but the task too big for the author. “The Melancholy of Suzumiya ” is littered with random events and occurrences with a handful of useful arcs within. This manga simply has ...
