The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Vol. 1 (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, #1)

Kyon is an ordinary first-year high school student who has given up his fantasies of (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esper) espers , time travelers, and aliens as he left middle school. However, sitting behind him is the beautiful, intelligent, and eccentric girl (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haruhi_Suzumiya_%28character%29) Haruhi Suzumiya , who in her class introduction blatantly states her singular desire to meet aliens, time travelers, or espers. Interested, Kyon starts trying to make small talk with her before class, eventually leading to normal conversations with Haruhi. One day, after making a comment about Haruhi's displeasure with the available school clubs, he finds himself dragged into membership of the newly formed S ave the World by O verloading it with Fun Haruhi S uzumiya (or SOS ) Brigade. Haruhi quickly claims the Literature Club's room and its sole member, the silent bibliophile (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuki_Nagato) Yuki Nagato as property of the SOS Brigade and "voluntary arrests" the timid but cute (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikuru_Asahina) Mikuru Asahina and the polite, smiling (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itsuki_Koizumi) Itsuki Koizumi as the club's other two members. As the story progresses, however, Kyon finds that each of these supposedly "helpless victims" are actually agents of fantastic organizations who have been sent to monitor Haruhi, who they explain as having superhuman abilities of manipulating the universe. Haruhi's unawareness of her powers means that she unconsciously creates a new universe—one more to her liking—and attempts to switch over whenever she becomes bored or otherwise dissatisfied with reality. To prevent this, the members of Haruhi's club spend their time trying to keep their god-like leader entertained, hold her powers in check, and maintain the illusion of a normal life.

From the very first day of school, his classmate--the beautiful but eccentric Haruhi Suzumiya--makes it very clear that her only desire is to meet aliens, time travelers, and psychics! A chance conversation between the two inspires Haruhi to form the SOS Brigade, a school club created for the sole purpose of gathering together such supernatural beings. The initial members consist of the mute bookworm Yuki Nagato, the timid but voluptuous Miharu Asahina, and the polite and ever-smiling Itsuki Koizumi. By the end of this first volume, Kyon quickly finds out that these seemingly "helpless victims" of Haruhi's are actually members of secret organizations--both futuristic and alien--with the single aim of keeping watch over Haruhi Suzumiya as she is the pinnacle of some major calamity on the horizon...
