Volume 8 of the Haruhi Suzumiya series presents two engaging stories. In Editor-in-Chief, Straight Ahead!, the SOS Brigade, disguised as the Literature Club, strives to become an official school organisation but faces disbandment unless they publish a collection of literature. Haruhi takes charge with her characteristic zeal, leading to amusing challenges.

In Wandering Shadow, the Brigade switches roles to investigative detectives when neighbourhood dogs become fearful of a local park path. Haruhi believes the path is haunted by animal spirits, prompting the SOS Brigade's first canine exorcism.

Two stories continue the adventure in Volume 8 of the Haruhi Suzumiya series.

Editor-in-Chief, Straight Ahead!

Since the beginning of the year, the SOS Brigade has been masquerading as the Literature Club to be recognised as an official high school organisation. But when the new student council president threatens to disband the group, the members must write a collection of literature. Naturally, Haruhi assumes the role of editor-in-chief and leads the team to publication with hilarious results.

Wandering Shadow

From writers to detectives, the SOS Brigade does it all. When fellow classmate Sanaka comes to the club seeking help, the team (well, Haruhi) is up to the task. A well-trodden popular park path has suddenly begun to terrify the neighbourhood dogs, and Haruhi suspects that it's being haunted by animal spirits. It looks like the SOS Brigade is about to perform its first canine exorcism!
