Is there volume 10? I hope so, I’m reading the novels, watching the animes, and reading the manga. If there’s volume 10, hope it comes out soon! Volume 9’s title is very depressing…

Thanks for the novels!

I have the first two OFFICIAL translations, and they are fair good. Tiny bit Americanized, but I still love them.

Jo said:

how different is the light novels from the manga and anime???

# 13 December 2009 at 11:09 pm

Dazza said:

@natadisney345: God knows…

@Jo: Quite different, for example, the ending of Sighs (anime) is actually the event that started the whole thing, why KyoAni did that, I don’t know, but it’s really weird.

According to the Baka-Tsuki wiki, volume 10, The Astonishment of Suzumiya Haruhi’s release date is “To be announced.” I can’t remember what it said before but I know that it has changed. I would assume that the book is in final stages of production (I also read somewhere about a month ago that said this though so it may just be a rumor).

Interesting..
Hope it comes out soon. :/

For now.. I’ll just dig for more Haruhi goodness.

You’re right, there were some rumors buzzing around September of last year when some info about volume 10 showed up in The Sneaker magazine; there were rumors Tanigawa was sick or had writer’s block but none of this has been confirmed.

where can i buy haruhi light novel chapter 1-9 in Malaysia???
How much the cost in Ringgit Malaysia?

# 17 January 2010 at 7:24 pm

Tsuruya-chan said:

That’s a toughie, I’m afraid the books haven’t been licensed in Malaysia. I guess you could try importing it from amazon or another online store, but that’s going to be really expensive

Kyoizumi said:

….and yet Baka-Tsuki took away the translations and now the third one isn’t coming for 6 months!!! D: *bursts into tears thinking when the **** the others are planned to be released*

# 22 January 2010 at 4:02 pm

Alif Haruhi said:

Do the math

Released 2/6/10
Bootleg crap quality RAW after a few weeks. Eventually badly subbed
about a few months for DVD to come out
about a few weeks more to sub it all.

Volume ten is obviously not out yet. Don’t go around reading rumors because it’s the way they kept us waiting for 3 years.

I’ll wait

what 3 years? really for what?

# 13 February 2010 at 6:11 am

Niko Bellic said:

to watch the Disappearance…

haruhi said:

wow it takes that long?

# 13 February 2010 at 3:04 pm

Red Tape said:

Not at all. There have been some “disagreements” concerning payment for the stories between the writer, and the publisher. Also other setbacks, such as illness may have helped to further delay the release.

The last, more obvious factor is the speculation regarding the likelyhood that 10 will be the last of the series – and the merchandisers are milking the cow while it’s still golden.

Problem is, the cow has been out too long, and the milk is starting to sour…

mak717 said:

I do not like to believe that the 10th novel is the last one. There are still so many questions that need to be answered, and they can go much farther with the plot. Also, they are only in the beginning of their second year. I am pretty sure he will go into their third, probably settling the questionable relationship between Kyon and Haruhi (why he was chosen).

And they need to start making a legit season 3, starting after the 4th novel too. All of this is money they could be making. But what do I know?

NagatoYuuki13 said:

@mak717 Is the 10th novel the last novel? It will be pretty sad if it is… It was a great series after all. Although, I would have preferred if they went all the way to graduation.

haruhi said:

so what does this mean for haruhiists? do they do some kind of ritual or what?

or do they wait for another series to come out?
cause all i’m doing is making people interested with haruhi for as long as possible the creator must find a new haruhi cash cow and start milking it big cause haruhiists will take matters into their own hands

and god knows what comes next!
still it’d be nice to see another spike in haruhiism only it may be because a haruhiist has a golden idea
well i’m looking forward to that moment!
