Story Synopsis
Not your average Japanese High School Story! Kyon is a first year student at North High. Sitting behind him is an intelligent, energetic and very bored Suzumiya Haruhi who introduces herself as having no interest in "normal humans" and that any aliens, time travelers, sliders, or espers should come forward and join her. Why is she so particular about non-humans? "Because humans are no fun at all!" Kyon is soon wrapped up in this unusual girl's attempts to make life more interesting, and quickly discovers the world is a lot more amazing than Haruhi could ever be allowed to know.
Translation
Format Standards
Every Chapter (after editing) must conform to the agreed points highlighted in the below guidelines
Some of these chapters are translations of the Chinese edition of the novels, which are known to have some minor mistakes compared to the original Japanese text. If you have access to the originals and you spot an error, please feel free to make the corrections yourself - this is a Wiki which means it's meant for anyone to fix things (and if you screw up, we can revert back your changes if all deem necessary). We can see the corrections you make, so just go ahead instead of hiding or waiting for permission.
Strato (of #a.f.k. translator fame) is currently translating the novels on his own terms, from Japanese to English. If you would like to view that translation, you are more than welcome to do so. However, please keep in mind that this does not mean you can simply replace the current translations as is. If there were details that were missed in our Translation Teams scripts that should be changed, feel free to make the changes. Replacing the entire script immediately is a no-no.
There is a story timeline available which organizes the stories in the novels in chronological order, should you want to read everything ordered by date. :)
