With yet another summer blockbuster season underway that's stuffed to the gills with sequels, it's high time this blog does the same by looking at some of the many manga sequels, prequels, and spinoffs out there. The most common spinoff manga idea is 'gag manga,' but unfortunately that doesn't mean that the gags will be any good.
THE MELANCHOLY OF SUZUMIYA HARUHI-CHAN (Suzumiya Haruhi-chan no Yuutsu), based on the light novel series by Nagaru Tanigawa and character designs by Noizi Ito, with story and art by Puyo. First published in 2008 and first published in North America in 2010.
PLOT:
This is the story of all the wacky goings-on before, during, and after the events of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. That includes how far Yuki's fondness for dating games goes, Haruhi's weird ideas about holidays, Mikuru's endless gullibility, and the tiny copy of Ryuoko that's forced to live in Yuki's apartment.
