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... less

"Let's track down aliens, time travelers, and psychics and hang out with them!" Haruhi Suzumiya established the SOS Brigade for that sole purpose. But why has she been acting so strange of late? So... melancholy? Unable to locate any supernatural beings (even though they're right there in the club room the whole time), Haruhi's frustrations turn violent. What's Kyon gotten himself mixed up in this time?! Enjoy volume 2 of this somewhat abnormal high school story!

Quite out of the blue, Kyon receives a phone call from his middle school classmate Nakagawa. Six months ago, he spotted Kyon walking with the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen and instantly fell in love! Now he wants Kyon's help conveying his feelings. But Nakagawa has no idea that the fair maiden who stole his heart is actually an otherworldly being...Nagato?! How will the stoic alien react to Nakagawa's affections?!
