Daily Video: Next Haruhi Suzumiya Novel's TV Ad
posted on by Egan Loo
Last week, the publisher Kadokawa Shoten began streaming the above television commercial for Nagaru Tanigawa's next Haruhi Suzumiya light novel, Suzumiya Haruhi no Kyōgaku (The Surprise of Haruhi Suzumiya).
Due to its 600-page length, Suzumiya Haruhi no Kyōgaku will actually ship in two volumes in Japan; the limited first edition will shrink-wrap both volumes along with a special booklet. The booklet will have a "Rainy Day" short story about the protagonist Kyon's time in middle school. The booklet's 64 color pages will also feature illustration work by novel artist Noizi Ito, contributions by artists Gaku Tsugano (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya manga) and Puyo (The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi-chan), and a behind-the-scenes account by the original editor of the light novel series.
Kadokawa Shoten announced that Kyōgaku will have a worldwide simultaneous release, but it is not shipping on May 25 in all 13 countries that currently have the light novel series in print. It will ship on that day in Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Korea.
