"The Enigmatic Girl"
Yet again this "Strange Girl" Kyon was known to hang out with in middle school was brought up, this time in the Charmed at First Sight story in volume 6. Who is she? Has she appeared in any form in any of the untranslated works available so far?

what are you talking about? "strange girl"? I have never heard of that!
Quote for vol 6:
"Nakagawa, huh......I think I remember there was such a person in my class. He was a wide-headed, broad-shouldered and muscular athletic looking guy."
Is this the "Strange Girl" you are talking about? If so, then the "Strange Girl" is a guy!

Read a little further into their conversation. Also in a previous chapter, remember when Kunikida said that Kyon has "Always had strange taste in women", or something to that effect? She keeps coming up.
From Nakagawa in "Chamred at First Sight Lover":
From Nakagawa in "Chamred at First Sight Lover":
From Kunikida in Volume 1, Chapter 1:"But, did you only think that I was merely close to her? Didn't you think that I could be dating Nagato?"
"Not at all,"
Nakagawa didn't flinch a bit,
"You are the sort who's fond of weirder girls. Like back in our third year......now what's her name, haven't you continue going out with that enigmatic girl?"
You, as a Nagato-lover, are least qualified to comment on my preferences. I suddenly felt as though I've just lost my balance, but it's obvious he got something wrong. Ah yes, Kunikida has gotten that wrong as well. I was just friends with that girl, now that I think about it, we've not met ever since our graduation from junior high. I would occasionally think of her every few days, I wonder if I should send her a New Year greeting card......
For some reason, I feel as though I'm digging my own grave, perhaps I should change the subject,
Taniguchi sarcastically put on an in-awe expression, then Kunikida popped up from behind Taniguchi.
"Kyon has a history of liking strange girls."
Hey, don't say things that'll create a misunderstanding.

It was my impression that Kunikida was referring to the entire set of girls Kyon has previously been friends with or had some sort of interest in, while Nakagawa was referring to a specific girl that Kyon was friends with around the time Kyon and Nakagawa knew each other. Of course, this girl would be included in the set Kunikida mentions.
The way I see it, the author's purpose for having other characters mention Kyon's taste in "strange girls" is to have them imply "It's obvious to everyone else you like Haruhi the most, even if you deny it to yourself." That's just how I have been interpreting it. I relate both of those statements to Haruhi rather than some mysterious new character getting ready to enter the story. Of course, I can't deny that is still a possibility.

Even when talking about Kunikida getting the wrong impression, Kyon knows exactly who both of them are referring to so I think we're supposed to believe he was involved with only one girl. Plus in the Charmed story, he backed off from talking further about this specific person which has been a device the author's used in the past to allude to future developments.

For a horny, teen-aged guy surrounded by beautiful girls (like Yuki), thinking about a specific girl "every few days" is equivalent to never.typhonsentra wrote:If he says he thinks about her "Every few days" and is thinking about contacting her, I'd say it's a possibility. Have you read Volumes 7 and 8, Guest?
