The flagging hopes of Haruhi fans have been jolted into overly optimistic paroxysms of ecstacy with the news that light novel rag The Sneaker will be publishing part of the new Haruhi novel, Suzumiya Haruhi no Kyougaku / 涼宮ハルヒの驚愕 (The Shock of Suzumiya Haruhi), in its next issue.
The rag promises a “partial advance printing” of the novel in its pages:
Presumably this is intended as a sop to the remaining fans, lest they start to think the novel will never come.
The June issue goes on sale at the end of April, logically enough.
Those not taken up in the excitement of the moment could be forgiven for noticing that any hint as to the final publication date is conspicuously absent – with Kadokawa, who knows when it might be and what further travails might be in store?

YYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH
In before it's a recap of all previous volumes.
Too obvious.
Rozen Maiden season 3 will air before that novel
Yeah, it's not gonna happen.
Kadokawa is infamous for promising stuff that never appears in its magazines. Don't believe a word of it.
Hahaha, great trolling :)
And ofcourse now there's gonna be an 11th novel...
well atleast Asakura's back
About fucking damn time.
Though the lack of a final publication date is worrisome.
Kodokawa running out of money?
I got into haruhi because of the 2nd season being released..
I normally wait until the show is finished before getting hooked up into it.
I heard that haruhi had not been finished in the first season, so when season II was released I was like, meh, whats to lose?
Season I great.
Season II not so much.
Turned to novels.
Anyways, Kodokawa must be running out of money to try and dust this story out of the 3 year old bookshelf.
Cheers;
Niker
>I heard that haruhi had not been finished in the first season
Um...huh?
Hooray!
Can't wait to get my hands on it!
キタアアアアアアアアアアアアアアアアア！！！ヽ(゜∀゜)ノ
your icon is awesome!
Your picture wins, sir.
It's about time!
And even if a publication date hasn't been confirmed, This is still better than jack shit for 3 years.
Meh im not getting my hopes up.
Anyone know how to read Japanese?
It's like asking a baby why he was born... really, I've never believed someone would do that kind of question here.
That Monkey.. is eating a POPSICLE!!
FINALLY!
Cue random hiatus. I can see it already. Not that the series matters to me.
well it mattered enough for you to reply here
tsun tsun
Who cares what you think.
why did you even bother reply if the series doesn't matter to you? Let us Haruhiism fanatics rejoice in peace.
And the future looks bright again...
remember kids - still no release date.
well, nothing to worry about;
I think it's safe to assume that the next novel will be launched soon after Duke Nukem Forever hits the market shelves.
On hiatus due to Haruhi movie project perhaps...
Get back to work you fools! We've been waiting long enough!
Kyon-kun, denwa!
Lies and bullshit. I had already given up on the tenth novel long ago.
If they're running excerpts, most likely a draft of the novel is complete.
The magazine probably does not know, and did not ask, the details.
That does not mean it'll be out soon- they still need to edit, illustrate, and allocate funds and ideas to market the thing. So it's not another DNF situation. The book will come out, just probably not anytime soon.
same day as GT5 :P
Maybe Nagaru Tanigawa watched the Endless 8 and started rushing to make up for that...
(Although it's not his fault)
Not half bad. It is always good to hear pleasing news.
Waiting for the upcoming troll!
"Publication Date: 20XX+!!"
Fact: Mega Man will happen before Haruhi 10 comes out.
In older times I would have been extremely excited about this... But, dunno. Endless Eight killed most of my love for the series.
If there's no trolling then good.
"Oh wait, sorry, it's not a new novel, it's just some ad campaign to increase current sales..!" It wouldn't surprise me if that were the case after a few weeks have passed by..
It's not happening. Guy's going to get "writer's block" and decide what he's wrote so far is crap and start all over again. Which'll take another few years.
Expect him to actually try when his money runs dry.
