Review by Jong Chung
The Rampage of Haruhi Suzumiya presents three stories with excellent pacing throughout the volume. By title, they are: Endless Eight, The Day of Sagittarius, and Snowy Mountain Syndrome. More so than any of the other previous volumes of the series, I found myself appreciating the order of the stories to fit well with the series itself. Be it a coincidence or not (as each chapter was published as separate short stories, it seems, going by the afterword by the author at the end of the volume), I found myself happy to think back to how much I enjoyed the ride that is The Rampage of Haruhi Suzumiya.

Personal Review: The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya
Review by Jong Chung
In an effort to catch up to recent volumes, here is another review featuring the Haruhi Suzumiya series! The fourth installment, The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya features the stoic Nagato at the center of its events. The universe is turned on its heels when the world Kyon knew it as is no longer. As if the past had been changed, Kyon finds the SOS brigade nonexistent, and even Haruhi to be a stranger to him in this new world. Even more disturbing to Kyon (ironically) is that there are no Aliens, Time Travelers or Espers around! Despite having met up with his past acquaintances of the SOS Brigade, none seem to remember nor recognize him.

Personal Review: The Boredom of Haruhi Suzumiya
Review by Jong Chung
The Boredom of Haruhi Suzumiya, the third book in the Haruhi Suzumiya series by Nagaru Tanigawa does something slightly different than what may have been expected. Unlike the previous novels, (or what's expected of typical novel conventions) there isn't just one “arc” to follow in this installment, as this third novel is actually more of a collection of several short stories.

Personal Review: The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya
Review By Jong Chung
The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya– The second volume of the Haruhi Suzumiya series, and one that is usually referred to as “The Sigh” arc by the fans. A bit direct in terms of naming convention, but at least it doesn't spoil the surprise of what the arc entails.

Personal Review: The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Review By Jong Chung
The Haruhi Suzumiya series should be familiar to most anime and manga fans. At various anime conventions, one can often see a large group of amateur performers that would bust out a (roughly) 4 minute dance with accompanying music playing in the background somewhere. In cosplay, more often than not. Even if one is not a fan of this particular series, it is hard not to be affected by its very existence, as it has become such a huge name within the anime and manga world.
