Yen Press had previously published the series in 10 books between 2009 and 2013. The new book gives them a chance to reissue the books in new Yen On editions. The Haruhi Suzumiya light novels, written by Nagaru Tanigawa with art by Noizi Ito were about a bored high school girl who wanted to discover extraordinary phenomena like UFOs, time travelers, and telepaths, unaware that she herself was an extraordinary Space-Time event that could destroy the universe. The series has spawned manga and anime spinoffs. The relaunch of the iconic series will start with The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya, scheduled for January 2021 release. Two additional volumes will be released every month from February 2021 to May 2021.
