Local manga publisher Chuang Yi has gotten their hands on the much coveted The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi manga adaption license!!!
Me, together with the rest of the local online manga fans, have been pushing for this license since early 2007. The request thread for Haruhi has hit over 10 pages and we thought that CY would dissapoint us as usual.. but looks like they did not!
Evidence (click to enlarge):
The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi started off as an obscure light novel series in Japan which was adapted into a 14-episode anime series by Kyoto Animation. The popularity of the anime was nothing short of an incredible phenomenon in Japan, sparking off many events including a live-action concert by the anime's voice actresses.

The anime has been licensed in America on DVD and has performed exceeding well, selling 60,000 over total copies in America and counting, compared to only 80,000 copies of the first volume in Japan.

Due to its popularity, no company has yet gotten its hands on the novel licenses and fans speculate its due to the price. The cost of licensing anime can cost as much as US$70,000 per episode so who knows how much a novel will cost to license.
Oh and a last word of caution: I've read some of the manga via scanlations and gotta say the manga is not really that good compared to the novel or the anime, but heck Haruhi fans will and SHOULD buy it anyway. To anyone considering getting the manga, you have been warned.

O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa.
