The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Vol. 9 - manga (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (manga), 9) (Volume 9)

The SOS Brigade and Haruhi-chan have disappeared! Kyon-kun has to figure out how to restore everything back to normal. Apparently the strain of the Endless Summer being repeated 15,500 times was too much for Yuki-chan! Fortunately Kyon has an optional choice to reset things!

This volume finds Kyon still trying to get the universe back in order by returning to Tanabata three years ago. Once again, he has Asahina-san (the grown up version) to help him, and Nagato, but this time, there's a dangerous surprise waiting for Kyon in the past. Volume 9 is yet another interesting and entertaining entry in "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" series: the art seems to get better and better as time goes on, and Kyon, the ultimate straight man, is becoming a more and more likeable hero as it's revealed that Haruhi isn't the only powerful person to watch out for in this series. I can't wait to read Volume 10!

The development of the manga just keeps on getting better. More mysteries more problems more action and more on developing relationships towards one another. This is a great manga and condition of the manga was good.

The continuing of a great story. and get to know the story better. Really, really, really, really, really, good. Read more

Great series. This is a book I was waiting for and got on my birthday. I can't wait for volume 10.

This ninth volume of `The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya' manga concludes the `Disappearance' storyline with Kyon traveling to Tanabata of three years ago once again in an effort to set the world right once again.This was a very good volume and it is probably my favourite volume of the manga so far. While I am still not a great fan of the artwork, this adaptation of the `Disappearance' light novel is very well done and if anything is probably slightly easier to follow than the original in places. `Disappearance' is my favourite part of the `Haruhi Suzumiya' storyline and I am glad that the manga did such a good job of telling the story.The volume also includes another parallel world extra chapter with this one showing a Meiji era SOS Brigade searching for special tea. This is a nice little story that is also fun to read.This volume is definitely well worth a full five stars.

This series never fails to amuse me. A collection of short chapters gives a conclusion to a short story with a surprise result. A couple of filler chapters are at the end of this book. Can't wait for the next manga to come out, fillers annoy me ahaha. Beautiful pictures and great imaginative characters, it's no wonder this is a popular manga series.
