It's another crazy-exciting day for Haruhi-chan and the SOS Brigade! Haruhi-chan never runs out of ideas for fun new activities with the SOS Brigade (attendance mandatory). It's a busy time for everyone: going to the beach, taking scenic hikes...moongazing in sexy bunny-girl outfits?! What will Haruhi think of next?! You'll find plenty of gags and guffaws as Haruhi dives into the world of four-panel and short comics!!

This third volume in the Haruhi Suzumiya series is a collection of four exciting short stories that chronologically take place before The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya. The Boredom of Haruhi Suzumiya:In her latest attempt to give the S. O. S. Brigade more public exposure, Haruhi signs the group up for the city-wide baseball tournament. Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody:It's like Back To the Future! In order to prevent an impending disaster, Mikuru takes Kyon back in time, where he meets Haruhi as a seventh grader. Mysterique Sign:The computer club president at school mysteriously disappears, and it's up to the S. O. S. Brigade to get to the bottom of it! Remote Island Syndrome:It's vacation time when a relative of Itsuki's invites the S. O. S. Brigade to stay at his island villa. But then a dead body turns up, and Haruhi and the gang get mixed up in a thrilling murder mystery.

It's summer break, but not for the SOS Brigade! With only a month of vacation left, Haruhi has devised a plan to pack as much fun as possible into their final days of freedom. But is Kyon up for the 'endless summer' Haruhi has in mind?

When the SOS Brigade receives an urgent message that the Computer Research Society's president has gone missing, Haruhi confidently promises to locate him, and the SOS Brigade is off! Of course, they have no idea where to start... Is the new SOS Brigade insignia that Haruhi designed to blame for all of this???

Kyon is your ordinary high school freshman who has long given up on his childhood dreams of encountering the fantastic and supernatural...or so he thought. From the very first day of school, his classmate--the beautiful but eccentric Haruhi Suzumiya--makes it very clear that her only desire is to meet aliens, time travelers, and psychics! A chance conversation between the two inspires Haruhi to form the SOS Brigade, a school club created for the sole purpose of gathering together such supernatural beings. The initial members consist of the mute bookworm Yuki Nagato, the timid but voluptuous Miharu Asahina, and the polite and ever-smiling Itsuki Koizumi. By the end of this first volume, Kyon quickly finds out that these seemingly 'helpless victims' of Haruhi's are actually members of secret organizations--both futuristic and alien--with the single aim of keeping watch over Haruhi Suzumiya as she is the pinnacle of some major calamity on the horizon...
