To celebrate the release of “The Intuition of Haruhi Suzumiya” on 11/25, Junkudo Bookstore Nishinomiya, located on the 4th floor of ACTA, will apparently be giving away special book covers featuring Haruhi pilgrimage spots on a first-come, first-served basis from the release date!
There are three designs in total, and the one you get will be random〜🤗
What is “Haruhi Suzumiya”?
It’s a hugely popular series of anime and manga based on a light novel set in Nishinomiya!
Some of the places that appear in the story include…
- Hyogo Prefectural Nishinomiya Kita High School
- Koyoen Station
- Railroad crossings and stairs around Koyoen Station
- Taisha Junior High School
- Kabuto-yama Forest Park
- Kita-Shukugawa Municipal Pool
- Nishinomiya-kitaguchi Station
- Nishikita Park (clock tower)
- Coffee Shop Dream
- Sports Dome Kawaragi
- Mukogawa riverbed
- Nishinomiya City Central Library
- McDonald’s Nishinomiya ACTA branch
…and many more. Nishinomiya, the hometown of author Nagaru Tanigawa, appears so much you could almost say, “Again?!”
Who can get the book cover?
If you purchase the new release “The Intuition of Haruhi Suzumiya” at Junkudo Bookstore Nishinomiya, you’ll receive one book cover on a first-come, first-served basis.
Only when purchased in the same transaction as the new release, previously published Haruhi Suzumiya series books (including Kadokawa Sneaker Bunko, Kadokawa Bunko, and The Sneaker LEGEND) are also eligible.
You can get one cover per book, and if you buy three or more books, each person can receive up to three covers.
*Available only with in-store purchases. (Cash-on-delivery purchases and the like are not eligible.)
*They will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, so the campaign will end once supplies run out.

Finally
This giveaway campaign has also been covered by Kobe Shimbun and others, so apparently a lot of reservations have already been placed for the new release👏
When the previous book was released, Junkudo Bookstore Nishinomiya also ran a campaign offering a “Haruhi Pilgrimage Map” as a purchase bonus, and that got a lot of attention too. So this time as well, it looks like the book covers may run out early!
If you really want to get one, it might be best to reserve the new book and head to the store as early as possible🤔
