Suzumiya Haruhi no Taikutsu
The Boredom of Haruhi Suzumiya·涼宮ハルヒの退屈
This volume contains four short stories set before *The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya*. In one, Haruhi tries to boost the SOS Brigade’s visibility by entering them in a city baseball tournament. Another involves time travel when Mikuru sends Kyon back to meet Haruhi during her middle school days to avoid a disaster. A third story sees the SOS Brigade investigating the disappearance of the computer club president. The final story takes place during a vacation when the group is invited to an island villa, only for a murder to occur and draw them into a mystery.
