Comic "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya-chan Vol.3 Ultra limited edition !" has come out.
"The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya-chan" is the official gag comic from the major hit light novel/TV anime "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya". The story is a venturously arranged comedy with all of the characters are deformed, such as Haruhi (or "Haruhi-chan" in the story) being bit more innocent than the original and Nagato is not a bookworm but an OTAKU hooked onto girl games.
"The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya-chan Vol.3 Ultra limited edition !" is the limited edition of Vol.3 of "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya-chan". The comic (limited edition book cover ver.) comes with a special "The past of Kazuki Koizumi" booklet and "Nendoroid Yuki Nagato Haruhi-chan ver." figure by Good Smile Company.
The feature appendix figure comes with bunny-eared headphones and Kimidori-san the unknown creature as changable parts. The fulfilled look on her face with a laptop computer to play games with in her hands gives it a "Haruhi-chan" feeling.
