Well, you could try this approach . . . tell them that there are tons of books that we get translated from other countries and our books get translated for them too. How else would we ever learn about other cultures or communicate our thoughts and ideas with them? Then, of course they will rebuttal you with something like, "I know, but I just . . . " and then say, "what do you have to lose? Who knows? You may actually enjoy it." Unless they just hate books. Then, refer them to ROD (TV).

And as Bento-Box posted, all kinds of translated books and materials come into this country and others all the time. The founding documents of this country were written by men who took inspiration from numerous foreign sources as well as great colonial thinkers of their time. Reading material from other countries can be fun and even world changing. |

I will tell them next time I see them. I will bring my copy of the book and read them the prologue!
or just tell them that it's a book not a manga, and that the drawing are like in any book series. |

Just remembered this after reading some Tale of Two Cities last night. Alice and Wonderland and most of the Grim stories all had pics in them - depending on the publisher. Even the Da Vinci Code was published with "pictures" for one edition.
So, illustrations and pictures are not just limited to manga or Japanese media. |

Looks like Disappearance is getting a 4 month wait instead of 6 like the first 3 books.
Boredom in July, Disappearance in November according to Amazon. |

It was a very interesting read, especially Remote Island Syndrome since the book version and the anime version were so different. They added a lot to the original story when they did the anime version. Missed having Kyon's little sister there but it was still quite good. |

Remote Island Syndrome was the only one of the stories where I noticed any difference from the anime. Frankly, I preferred Sigh, where I only knew in advance that they were making the movie we saw as episode 0. Maybe if I hadn't seen the web release of Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody I would have enjoyed it more.

I have question that those who read ahead of the series and know more of the plot.
I'm currently reading the second book, and after reading the first book, I was really pumped to learn what have happened, etc. And...it turned into a direction I don't really care for. Like "generic" type of thing. I was hoping it would go into learning more about the different characters. Like seeing more of Yuki's world or perhaps seeing Mikuru's superiors. Does this change to that deeper in the book? If not, do the other novels touch upon those things? If push comes to shove, I'll just get the books that deal with those specific issues. |

Well I just bought Disappearance.
It's really good so far. Kyon's sarcasm never gets old. |

Finished Disappearance.
Absolutely the best one so far. I can only hope there's more books on this level of awesome in the series. I can only hope the next book comes out sooner. And also, that the later books have about this level of character development...I relish every opportunity to develop all the characters much more than I do the individual "misadventure" type stuff like in "Boredom." |

I've just finished reading The Rampage. Another very enjoyable instalment in the Haruhi Suzumiya series. I particularly enjoyed "Snowy Mountain Syndrome". I also really liked the fact that you read "The Endless Eight" only once! I'm really looking forward to The Wavering out on November 7th.
