Finished涼宮ハルヒの消失
One week before Christmas Eve, Kyon, the only ordinary member of the SOS Brigade, wakes up to a world where everything has changed. Haruhi Suzumi attends a different school, Yuki Nagato is a quiet human bookworm instead of an alien interface, and Mikuru Asahina has no memory of him. The SOS Brigade, and all the extraordinary adventures it brought, seems to have never existed.
With only a cryptic bookmark left by the robotic Nagato as a clue, Kyon is thrust into a solitary quest to understand this new reality and find a way back. His investigation leads him to revisit a pivotal past event, forcing him to confront what his world—and his friends—truly mean to him.
