“The Theater of Haruhi Suzumiya” Release Commemorative Fair
Part 1: Distribution of Junkudo Nishinomiya Store original lenticular cards (2 types total
Customers who purchase the Sneaker Bunko edition of the Haruhi Suzumiya series at Junkudo Nishinomiya Store will receive
one card per book purchased (you may choose the design).
Cards will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis at the time of in-store purchase, so benefits cannot be
secured through reservations or holds.
Benefits will also not be included with cash-on-delivery purchases
Part 2: “We Tried Collecting ‘Yuki Nagato’s 100 Books’”
We gathered as many of “Yuki Nagato’s 100 Books,” published in the December 2004 issue of The Sneaker,
as we could 20 years later.
This includes titles that have been reissued in new editions as well as the same titles with different translators.
For this project, we received cooperation from Nishinomiya City’s Reading Promotion Division and Kitaguchi Library,
and they also prepared a list of items held by the Nishinomiya City Library
and items that can be ordered.
We plan to distribute it in-store together with a free paper created by our store,
listing current publisher stock and other information for the 100 books as of November.
Part 3: Haruhi Suzumiya Series DMM Lottery Restock
The Haruhi Suzumiya Series DMM Lottery, released on September 21, 2024, has been restocked
The restocked items will go on sale in-store on 11/29, the release date of The Theater of Haruhi Suzumiya
Part 4: Distribution of Old-Design Replacement Covers for “The Theater of Haruhi Suzumiya”
This is not an original item from our store, but at KADOKAWA’s request
we will be one of the stores distributing old-design replacement covers for “The Theater of Haruhi Suzumiya”
As with the lenticular cards, these will not be provided for cash-on-delivery purchases.
Benefits cannot be secured through reservations or holds, and will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis at the time of purchase
For inquiries about the fair, please contact Junkudo Nishinomiya Store.

This Week’s Shachobi

This is a photo we didn’t use in the article above about Bakery Restaurant Sea, which opened today〜. When an article is packed with content, there end up being tons of photos that don’t make the cut〜.
Even so, this place offers such a fresh kind of experience for kids that I’m sure it’ll definitely get picked up by TV and such〜. And every time it does, I’m thinking people will end up seeing that article〜!
