Yen Press Announces the Digital Publication of The Theater of Haruhi Suzumiya Simultaneous to the Japanese Release

The official Haruhi Suzumiya account has confirmed the worldwide release date of the next installment of the classic light novel series to be November 29, 2024. Yen Press announced that a digital release will publish simultaneously. This new installment, which was initially teased in September 2020 before a four-year hiatus, is titled The Theater of Haruhi Suzumiya. Yen Press will release a print edition at a later date.

The Theater of Haruhi Suzumiya is written by Nagaru Tanigawa and illustrated by Noizi Ito, and it will be translated by Andrew Cunningham.

This new volume will include two short stories previously published in Kadokawa’s The Sneaker magazine and a new sequel to both stories. It will follow the Fantasy and Galaxy arcs, which originally appeared across eleven volumes released from 2003 to 2011 under KADOKAWA Co., Ltd. (Kadokawa Sneaker Bunko). 

Adaptations of Haruhi Suzumiya include an anime that was initially released by Bandai Entertainment in 2006 and several manga series released in English by Yen Press, the first of which was published in 2009. More recently, Kadokawa published The Intuition of Haruhi Suzumiya in November 2020, alongside the digital publication in English by Yen Press. Haruhi Suzumiya has stood out as one of the most iconic properties in the light novel, manga, and anime space for more than a decade.
