The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya follows Kyon as he wakes up one week before Christmas in a strange alternate reality where the SOS Brigade never existed.

What if you woke up one morning, and everything had changed?

It's one week before Christmas Eve, and Haruhi and the rest of the SOS Brigade are gearing up for holiday festivities. But just before the fun kicks off, Kyon, the only normal member, wakes up in a weird alternate dimension. In this strange world, Haruhi attends another school entirely, Nagato the time-travelling robot is just an ordinary human, and Mikuru (the cute girl of Kyon's dreams) doesn’t even recognise him—in other words, the SOS Brigade never existed.

The only clue Kyon can find is a bookmark left by the robot version of Nagato, which leads him on a quest back in time. There, he once again encounters the events of Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody, a short story from the previous Haruhi book, The Boredom of Haruhi Suzumiya.

This fun and quirky holiday tale is reminiscent of A Christmas Carol and It’s a Wonderful Life.
