The latest issue of The Sneaker has announced that a part of the 10th novel in Nagaru Tanigawa’s Haruhi Suzumiya series will be published in its next issue. Volume 10 is entitled the “The Surprise of Haruhi Suzumiya” and has been postponed since 2007. The next issue of The Sneaker will be released on April 30th, 2010. However, with Baka-Tsuki recently forced to stop their English translation of the novel, whether a fan translation will ever be available in the future is up in the air.

Some photos of the announcement in The Sneaker:

The name serves itself well right now XD I’m sure SOMEONE will translate this. The fanbase is too large to leave this work ignored.

Baka-tsuki’s not the only translator in the world, there’s definatly one comming up eventually. If not i can just get a translation in Korean, which will be more difficult to read…

I’m so excited about this! Hopefully another group will come along and translate it for us. If not, I’ll have to put my Japanese to work and try and read it myself if I can find it.

May I ask if this is really the last novel? It’s a shame if it is. It was a very good series. I would have preferred them finishing high school. But if it is not, that is great!

sorry some pl;aces should have it but i’ll bet the publishers will stop fan translations far and wide it just matters on how many sites have translations others will pester the publishers to prevent shut down on much needed fan projects. just don’t get caught will incriminating material thats all or wait for the translated versions to come out which will be in late late 2011.

hope you can wait that long if you can’t try to translate it yourself!

but don’t involve more people in underground acts unless you’re willing to pay for the crime!

This just makes everyone pissed at themselves because we all wanted to read the volumes on Baka-Tsuki, but we never wanted to spoil the series for ourselves!!! D_X

April 30th? That’s like- tomorrow!!

No I really cannot stand the f’in wait. First the movie, now this! Although I think I am more anxious for the novel than the movie. Mainly because, I already know what happens in the movie!

well these days the police get pid by large copyright agencies and they target people like translators and shut their business, hoby and activities this allows the agency to continue with their work without a sudden leak of info like movies, books, and “profitable items” this includes matters of copyright breaches such as plagarism and misleading info and inappropriate or illicit use of ideas, characters in such contraband as porn, hentai.

but it is usually impossible to stop all translators at once and if this was done on separate computers the agency would have no chance to stop and destroy existing translations.

and besides some groups other than Baka-Tsuki have licenses for such activity they didn’t

“just don’t get caught will incriminating material thats all or wait for the translated versions to come out which will be in late late 2011.

as i said above the consequences are there now if you want to do it i won’t stop you but i will advise you not to get caught or you’ll be sued and hard!
