面白かった

That was interesting

アニメーションを見て本作が好きになった。キョン視線で話が語られ、読者は主人公になった気分で感情移入できます。

I fell in love with this film after watching the animation. The story is told through Kyung's gaze, and readers can empathize with it as if they were the main character.

人生楽しんだもん勝ち

The one who enjoyed life wins

涼宮ハルヒの憂鬱は自分が生まれた年ぐらいの作品で、CMで見たイメージしかなく、自分が見たCMでは学校でライブ（？）のようなものをしていて、音楽系の物語なのかなとこの本を読むまで思い込んでいたのですが、実際読んでみると全然違っていて、どちらかといえば非日常系だったことにとても驚かされました。話が進むにつれて、非日常要素は減っていき、日常要素が増えて言った印象ですが、その日常の中にある面白さをこの本を通して気付かされました。

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is a work from about the year I was born, and there are only images I saw in commercials, and in commercials I watched live at school (?) There was something like that, and until I read this book, I thought it was a musical story, but when I actually read it, it was completely different, and I was very surprised that if anything, it was extraordinary. As the story progressed, the number of extraordinary elements decreased, and I had the impression that everyday elements increased, but this book made me notice the fun of everyday life.

アニメの原作

Original anime

特に第一巻の発行は今から十年以上も前という過去のものになってしまいましたが、かつてアニメブームを巻き起こした「涼宮ハルヒ」シリーズ小説版です。主人公の高校生キョンはハルヒやその他の愉快な仲間たちとともに騒動を引き起こす展開は非日常的なものですが、それがまたこのシリーズの個性を引き出しているように感じます。

In particular, the first volume was published over ten years ago, but it is a novel version of the “Suzumiya Haruhi” series that once sparked an anime boom. The development where the main character, high school student Kyung, causes an uproar with Haruhi and other pleasant friends is extraordinary, but I feel that it also brings out the individuality of this series.

久々にハルヒが読めた

I was able to read Haruhi after a long time

いきなり話書かなくなって何故なのか？某作者のように自病なのか？と思ってましたがそうではないようで安心です。次回作に期待してます。

Why did you suddenly stop writing? Is he self-sick like a certain author? I thought so, but I'm relieved that doesn't seem to be the case. I'm looking forward to the next work.

キョ

Kyo

アニメ１話を見てなんだこれって思ってたが、そのラストで興味を持った。書籍を購入したのはアニメ全話を見た後だったと思う。主人公がいい味を出している。本当に普通の人間だけれど、周りが特殊な連中ばかりで、なのに主人公を中心とした展開に無理がなく物語が破綻しない。と言ってみたけど、とりあえず全巻読んでほしい。

After watching episode 1 of the anime, I was wondering what this was, but I became interested at the end. I think I bought the book after watching all the anime episodes. The main character has good taste. They are really normal people, but all around them are special people, and yet the story doesn't go bankrupt due to the development centered around the main character. I tried to say that, but I want you to read the whole volume for now.

おもしろい！

It's interesting!

ラノベ初読で少し言い回しがくどかったりしましたが、面白くて一気にシリーズ読みました。世界観に引き込まれるし、何よりSOS団とその仲間たちが大好きになりました！

It was my first time reading a light novel, and it was a bit difficult to phrase, but it was so interesting that I read the series all at once. I was drawn into the world view, and above all, I fell in love with SOS and their friends!

アニメから！

From anime!

京アニを作ったと行っても過言でない。ラノベもいいけど是非動くアニメで！

It's no exaggeration to say that they made Kyoani. A light novel is good too, but definitely a moving anime!

This review contains spoilers. A story that unfolds in a certain high school and a certain club activity! Suzumiya Haruhi said this on the day of the entrance ceremony. “I'm not interested in mere humans. If there are aliens, future humans, otherworldly people, or psychics among them, please come to me.” And in order to fulfill that purpose, they created a club called S: the S: Suzumiya Haruhi Group to greatly liven up the world, and started activities with the aim of finding aliens and future people (ry) and playing together. Club activity members who gather around Haruhi Suzumiya: the psychic Koizumi Kazuki, the alien Nagato Yuki, the future person Asahina Mikuru, and the general public Kyon are involved in various incidents...!! It's a story like that. As of now, it hasn't been completed yet, so I'm really looking forward to the continuation. Please be sure to read it too!

ラノベ初心者にもぴったり

Perfect for light novelists

一世を風靡し、ラノベブームを引き起こした本作。まず設定が面白い。あとは何より読みやすい。ラノベだから読みやすいのは当たり前なのだが、挿し絵も可愛いし展開がはやいので読んでいて飽きない。ただ、新刊が何年も待てど暮らせどでないのが残念w

This work took the world by storm and sparked a light novel boom. First, the settings are interesting. Above all else, it's easier to read. Since it's a light novel, it's natural that it's easy to read, but the illustrations are cute and develop quickly, so I never get tired of reading it. However, it's a pity that I haven't been able to wait for years for the new issue lol

アニメから?

from anime?

昔々、後輩君が描いてた絵の中にハルヒがいたような…その子、ラノベ系の女の子キャラばっかり描いてたんですよ。なので、話は知らなくてもキャラクターだけ知ってる作品が結構あったりします。ハルヒもその一つ。Blu-rayの整理ついでに録画してあったアニメを視聴。内容は初心者には訳が分からず…何故人気なのか本気で考え始めた程。キョンが居なかったら見るのやめてましたね?最終回のキョンとハルヒの付かず離れずな雰囲気が好きです♪ラブい展開に進むならノベルやコミックも読みたい所ですが、他の方のレビューをみるとアニメが一番ラブ度高いみたいですね。そうか、あれが限界か。残念?

Once upon a time, it's like Haruhi was in the pictures my junior drew... that kid drew only light novel girl characters. So, even if you don't know the story, there are quite a few works where you only know the characters. Haruhi is one of them. Watch the anime that was recorded while organizing the Blu-ray. Beginners don't understand the content... I really started thinking about why it's so popular. If Kyon wasn't there, you'd stop watching it, right? I like the inseparable atmosphere of Kyung and Haruhi in the final episode ♪ If it progresses to a romantic development, I'd like to read novels and comics, but looking at other people's reviews, it seems that anime has the highest level of love. OK, is that the limit? a pity?
