It has been nine years since fans caught wind of Haruhi Suzumiya, but that seems like it will change in a matter of months. The heroine has too many fans around the world to stay in hiding for much longer!

The news came from Twitter after the official page for Haruhi Suzumiya posted the big announcement. The page confirmed the franchise will roll out a new novel in Japan on November 25. It will be penned by author Nagaru Tanigawa and illustrator Noizi Ito as always. The pair have titled this novel The Intuition of Haruhi Suzumiya, and pre-orders for the novel will being this week.
Of course, fans of the beloved franchise were quick to geek out over the news. It has been at least nine years since fans got an update on the story or its heroine.
