Nagaru Tanigawa's Haruhi Suzumiya series is in a 20th anniversary push that reaches from a KADOKAWA figure line to the real-life school that provided the setting for North High. The final open campus at that school is set for November 21, 2026.
Coverage of Nagaru Tanigawa in this period runs through the Haruhi Suzumiya 20th anniversary and the real places tied to the series rather than through new prose from the author. In August 2026, KADOKAWA announced a 1/7 scale figure of Haruhi Suzumiya in Megumin's outfit from Konosuba - God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!. The figure adapts a Noizi Itō illustration made for the Kadokawa Sneaker Bunko Winter Fair 2026, is supervised by Itō and Kurone Mishima, and is sculpted by GOLDENHEAD PLUS with paintwork by Kenji Andō. A KADOKAWA Store Special Set adds a rubber mat.
Two months later the focus turned to Nishinomiya Kita High School, the model for the series' North High and the school Tanigawa attended. Its last open campus runs November 21 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., split into four pre-reserved timeslots of 250 guests each. All 1,000 tickets at 1,000 yen have sold. Attendees get a tour of anime locations, an AR/VR experience, a student-planned activity and a stamp rally, and the event closes the window on visiting the campus under the name tied to the anime, since the school takes the Nishinomiya Kurakuen High School name in the 2027 academic year.
Both stories are anniversary-adjacent merchandise and event news. Neither announces a new volume or a new anime adaptation.
