The giant plushie brand “Dokyūto Puchi” has added a new lineup from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, which is celebrating its TV anime 20th anniversary in 2026. Three characters—Suzumiya Haruhi, Asahina Mikuru, and Nagato Yuki—are now available as oversized plushies, each priced at 22,000 yen (tax included).
About the Series
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is based on the light novel series by Tanigawa Nagaru with illustrations by Itou Noizi, published under Kadokawa Sneaker Bunko. It follows the unofficial school club SOS Brigade led by the eccentric Haruhi, blending sci-fi elements into a school story. The 2006 TV anime shuffled its episode order and became a social phenomenon, especially after the ending theme “Hare Hare Yukai” dance went viral online. In 2026, the series marks 20 years since broadcast, and the ongoing “Haruhi no Ongaeshi” project thanks fans for their support.
