KADOKAWA is publishing the 12th volume of this light novel series by Nagaru Tanigawa, and the poll was published to build anticipation and excitement for the release of this long-awaited volume. It has been more than nine years since the last light novel—The Surprise of Haruhi Suzumiya, which was published in 2011. The Intuition of Haruhi Suzumiya will be releasing in Japan on November 25—but Yen Press is also releasing an English digital version of it simultaneously. A hardcover English version is set to be published in June 2021.
The new light novel will be comprised of three stories, and one of them is brand-new: Random Numbers (あてずっぽナンバーズ Atezuppo Numbers), which was issued in the artbook Haruhi’s Many Kinds of Flowers for the franchise’s tenth anniversary; Seven Wonders Overtime (七不思議オーバータイム Nanafushigi Overtime), which was in The Sneaker Legend, KADOKAWA’s Sneaker Bunko’s 30th anniversary edition; and Tsuruya’s Challenge (鶴屋さんの挑戦 Tsuruya-san no Chōsen) which is the new story, and it takes place after the events of the last light novel.
