New Haruhi Suzumiya Store Will Mark 13th Novel Release

C-Labo Gamers announced that it will set up a new temporary store to help celebrate the release of the new Haruhi Suzumiya light novel in late 2024. The store will be available both physically at Akihabara Gamers and online via the chain’s website.

The novel volume in question is The Theater of Haruhi Suzumiya. The 13th light novel volume in the series will appear simultaneously worldwide in Japanese and English on November 29, 2024. The newly-announced temporary store will also launch on the same day.

Both the physical and online storefronts will have the same bonus items. People who purchase at least ¥3,000 from the merchandise lineup can enter a raffle to win a bromide featuring one of the thirteen novel volume covers or a large acrylic board featuring the franchise’s five main characters—Haruhi, Yuki, Mikuru, Kyon, and Itsuki.

Here is the list of merchandise in the store, with the prices in Japanese yen:

• Tin badge – ¥550 for a random item or ¥4,950 for the complete box available exclusively in the physical store
• Large acrylic stand – ¥2,200
• Social media-style keychain – ¥1,210
• Acrylic block – ¥1,320
• T-shirt – ¥3,850
• Rubber desk mat – ¥3,850

The temporary store celebrating the release of The Theater of Haruhi Suzumiya will appear at Gamers’ physical Akihabara outlet and online shop from November 29, 2024, and it will remain open until December 15, 2024. People who purchase the items online can expect their orders to be delivered in early February 2025. The Gamers website recommends buyers outside Japan use a proxy address and account from Tenso.
