Kadokawa has announced that The Theater of Haruhi Suzumiya, the next entry in the Haruhi Suzumiya light novel series, will be released worldwide on November 29, 2024.
Penned by Nagaru Tanigawa and featuring illustrations by Noizi Ito, this is the end of this latest hiatus and is the first novel to be released in roughly four years. Fans can anticipate another fantastical adventure with the SOS Brigade.
Currently, precise details on the manner of worldwide distribution were not provided, but the following synopsis was provided (translated by Crunchyroll):
Haruhi the Brave, we have found ourselves in the royal palace, where we have been asked by the king to defeat the evil Demon Lord… Wait a minute, what is this “world”? I thought we had accomplished our mission when Asahina-san’s magic exploded, but Nagato muttered, “Mission accomplished” and we were whisked off to outer space, then to a western movie, then to a mythical world.Who on Earth did this? Haruhi, just what is going through your mind now? This is the outlandish and bizarre thirteenth volume!
Thanks to Kars for sharing this news.
The first volume of Haruhi Suzumiya was released in 2009 in a co-publishing agreement between Yen Press and Little, Brown Books for Young Readers. Since then, the series has grown to reach new audiences and introduce the light novel genre of books to Western releases. The series even received an anime in 2007 and several manga series released by Yen Press, which began in 2008.
Who? What? Huh?
