| - | Haruhi Suzumiya has always been an odd girl that has never spoken to anyone at school before. Everyday she comes to school with a different hair style. Kyon, the boy that sits in front of Haruhi speaks to her. Amazingly, she spoke back! The next day Haruhi shows up with shoulder length hair! Haruhi actually signed up for every school club then quit all of them after one day of them. Kyon asks her why she quit them all, and her response was that they are all boring, and there is nothing fun at the school. Influencing Haruhi, Haruhi says that she's going to make her own club, one thats exciting. Haruhi tells Kyon that he must join the club, and demands that he has to. Kyon is forced to join the club. Haruhi gets a club room that was the Literary Club, only containing the silent, manga-reading girl Yuki Nagato. Haruhi forces an upper-classman Mikuru Ashimina to join. Haruhi wants her to join because Mikuru is pretty and the club needs attraction. A transfer student also joins, Itsuki Koizumi. Yuki does nothing but read. Mikuru wears maid outfits, bunny outfits or any sexy outfits Haruhi makes her wear by undressing her in front of Itsuki and Kyon (they have to leave the room). Itsuki and Kyon usually play board games. Haruhi decideds the club is called the S.O.S Brigade. The S.O.S. Brigade investigates mysteries of the world (mostly ones at her school). On the way, Kyon finds out Yuki Nagato is an alien, Mikuru is a time travler from the future, and Itsuki an esper all sent to watch over Haruhi. Haruhi is the God who created the entire world that can be wiped out if she gets to upset or bored. The only thing is, Haurhi has no idea! | + | The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya follows the high school life of Haruhi Suzumiya, a young and very active high school girl, and those who are caught up in her antics.

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya follows the high school life of Haruhi Suzumiya, a young and very active high school girl, and those who are caught up in her antics. While Haruhi is the central character to the plot, the story is told from the point of view of Kyon, one of Haruhi's classmates.
Kyon is an ordinary freshman high school student who has recently given up his fantasies of espers, time travelers, and aliens as he left middle school. When he chooses to speak to Haruhi, he unwittingly sets off a chain of events which drag him into surreal situations; he is drawn further into a world eerily like the fantasies he had just managed to outgrow, with Haruhi at its center.
Searching for a group that interests her, Haruhi joins and quits every club in the school, finding only dissatisfaction. Kyon makes a snide remark about her actions and accidentally provides Haruhi the inspiration to create a club of her own. To help start the club, Haruhi forcefully drafts Kyon, who only stays in the club to protect other helpless victims of Haruhi's "voluntary arrests". As the story progresses, Kyon finds that each of these supposedly "helpless victims" has a specific reason to be there.
The first of these new members is Yuki Nagato, a silent bibliophile who usually wants to simply be left alone to read. Without Haruhi knowing, Yuki is in fact a "humanoid interface," or an artificial human, created by the extraterrestrial Integrated Data Entity. The next member is the shy and timid Mikuru Asahina, who is one year above Haruhi; she is actually a time traveler. The final member of the SOS Brigade is Itsuki Koizumi, who is almost always smiling and more than willing to give in to Haruhi's strange demands. He turns out to be one of many espers in an organization known as the Agency.
Except for Kyon, the members of the club are secret agents of various organizations who are sent to observe Haruhi. They gradually explain that Haruhi has superhuman control over every aspect of the universe—an ability which she is unaware of. Whenever Haruhi becomes bored or otherwise dissatisfied with reality, she unconsciously creates a new universe—one more to her liking—and attempts to switch over, thus leading to the destruction of the current universe. In order to prevent this, the members of Haruhi's club spend their time attempting to keep their god-like leader entertained, hold her powers in check, and maintain the illusion of a normal life.
The series never clarifies whether the club members gathered around Haruhi by their own free will, her subconscious, or were simply created out of thin air for Haruhi's amusement. The question of their origin is a motif seen throughout the series.
