Created by Japanese Mangaka Nagaru Tanigawa and illustrated by Noizi Ito, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is about Highschooler Haruhi Suzumiya's life and those who are involved in her crazy adventures. Haruhi Suzumiya´s light novels first appeared in a Seinen magazine called The Sneaker. So famous were Haruhi´s novels that they were later published in various other sources. Two manga series were created but the first one was discontinued shortly after it started its production. The second one is still on-going. The anime that has the title of the first novel, incorporates elements of its novel and manga versions. Currently, a second anime season is airing. This new season has gained notoriety because it has eight, almost identical, episodes. This arc was named "The Endless Eight". This fact drove the thousands of avid Haruhi fans nuts (Although i'm not a hardcore Haruhi fan, it sure did drive me crazy as well).Well, let's start from the beginning.
Plot
Haruhi Suzumiya has always been a mysterious girl since she was in middle school. Now that she is in highschool she doesn't seem to get along with anybody.Kyon, also a highschool freshman who is in the same classrom as Haruhi, notices her strange behaviour. For example, Kyon notices that Haruhi changes her hair style depending on the day of the week. On their first day at Highschool Haruhi's homeroom teacher asked her students to introduce themselves. When Haruhi's turn to introduce herself came, she went "I'm not interested in none of you, unless you are time travelers, aliens or espers." The whole classroom was more than surprised at such rare introduction. This also made Kyon even more curious about what Haruhi is really like. One day during lunch break Kyon decides to approach Haruhi and starts chatting with her. A club choosing event was taking place at Haruhi's and Kyon's Highschool. Then, Kyon sat next to Haruhi and asked her what club she was going to join. She said that she finds all the clubs boring. Kyon said that he also wasn't sure what club to join. "I guess I will have to form my own club," said Kyon. I bet Kyon wished he hadnt said that..Then, Haruhi said to Kyon that she will form her own club. Suddenly, she took Kyon by his tie and left the classroom.Kyon didn't know what was going on. "What is this girl girl thinking ?" asked Kyon to himself. What Haruhi was about to do is to form her own highschool club. It would be known as the S.O.S Brigade. This club would be focusing on investigating and solving paranormal events. Kyon joins Haruhi's club against his will since he thought it was a silly idea. At the beggining, Kyon only joins Haruhi´s club to prevent "defenseless victims" from joining it by force. But as the story progresses we will get to know that these "defenless victims" have a reason for joining Haruhi's club.
