Haruhi Suzumiya is the general name for a series of light novels written by Nagaru
Tanigawa and illustrated by Noizi Ito.
The story follows the title character Haruhi Suzumiya, a high school girl
who can unconsciously change reality, and her strange antics with her school
club, the SOS Brigade, which she founded to investigate mysterious events.
Haruhi forcibly drafts her cynical classmate Kyon, who narrates the series, and
similarly recruits three additional members into her club: the
silent bibliophile Yuki Nagato, the shy and timid Mikuru Asahina, and the
friendly transfer student Itsuki Koizumi. These members soon reveal themselves
to Kyon as the extraordinary characters Haruhi is seeking.
