The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi-chan

In this super-deformed, four-panel comic spin-off of the Haruhi Suzumiya phenomenon, the familiar cast of SOS Brigade members is reimagined in a chibi, slapstick style that emphasizes absurd humor over the original series' sci-fi mystery. Running from 2010 to 2020 under Yen Press, the twelve-issue series was primarily written by Nagaru Tanigawa—the original light novel author—with Chris Pai handling the English adaptation, while artist Puyo’s signature cute, exaggerated art drives the gags. While it doesn't advance the main storyline, this series offers a lighthearted, fan-friendly alternative that showcases the characters' personalities in a more playful, comedic light.
