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...

Huzzah! There are now ten volumes of Haruhi gags! Between the SOS Brigade, the Sasaki Brigade, the Nagato household, and the members of the Agency, the tenth volume of the comedic misadventures of Haruhi and friends is more crowded than ever. Between dream interpretation, high school hijinks, and popularity contests, it's everything you would expect from Haruhi--and less, and more, and--well, you know. Long live Haruhi!

When Kyon arrives at school, it seems like another average day--until he realizes Sasaki has wrapped North High in a closed space. Led to the SOS Brigade clubroom by Sasaki and Tachibana, Kyon knocks (just in case) and is surprised to find not a costumed Asahina, but instead a girl he's never seen before...and a very familiar face!

It's a shock that there's a freshman willing to take on Haruhi's Brigade Entrance Examination! But it's just as much a delight to finally have someone willing to fight against the tyranny of the straight man... Or so one would hope. With Yasumi Watahashi now on the scene, Kyon's straight man game is soaring to new heights, Asahina is going crazy, and Haruhi is acting more like a Brigade Chief than ever before! And what of the feline-ified Kuyoh at Nagato's house--when Kyon faces off with her, what could his fate possibly be!?

Kyon knew it was only a matter of time before he would have to return to December 18th of the previous year, to the three days when the SOS Brigade and his supernatural friends suddenly disappeared. Back then, Kyon was cruelly stabbed by alien rogue Ryouko Asakura and nearly bled out on the school roof. How will he fare this time around?

In this novel, the story follows the SOS Brigade'sfirst movie making project, starring Mikuru Asahina as the main protagonist.Additionally, Nagato is made the antagonist in the movie and Koizumi is theconflict hero, who is supposed to end happily ever after with Mikuru, but facescompeting interests from Nagato. Haruhi comes up with the idea that the SOSBrigade needs to do something for the upcoming cultural festival. Her class isdoing a questionnaire, which is boring in her mind. She decides to make a movie,starring Mikuru. However, Haruhi begins to confuse the movie world with the realworld, and the real world begins to become more like her movie. The pigeons infront of the shrine turn white, then into Passenger Pigeons, cherry treesblossom in autumn, Mikuru begins to shoot lasers out of her eyes, and the catShamisen begins to talk. By the efforts of Itsuki and Yuki, Kyon eventuallyconvinces Haruhi to add a disclaimer at the end that the movie is a work offiction. Overnight, the movie apparently edits itself, and is shown. With thedisclaimer, Haruhi herself realizes it is a work of fiction, and the worldreverts back to normal.

As a member of the SOS Brigade, Kyon has had his fair share of close encounters (of the bizarre kind). But as Mikuru the Elder's scavenger hunt sends Kyon and "Michiru" into trouble, Kyon realizes that the scope of his friends' supernatural connections are far beyond what even he could ever have imagined-and far more dangerous...

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!
