History Manga / TheVanishingOfNagatoYukiChan

** Occasionally, you can see Kimidori-san in the background, or objects shaped like him. No, not Emiri Kimidori (who does appear later on in the manga), Kimidori-''san'', [[Manga/HaruhiChan the balloon dog]].

* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: The Literature Club doesn't do much related to literature. It ultimately just becomes a place where the main cast go to play games and hang out. Though Haruhi occasionally comes in and makes them do stuff a lot less related to literature.

* DoggedNiceGuy: Poor Koizumi. He follows Haruhi everywhere, agreeing to be her lackey, despite knowing that she might lose interest in him since he's no one special.

** In the Anime, Haruhi and Tsuruya square off with {{Animal Battle Aura}}s of [[Manga/HaruhiChan Haruhi dressed as a sheep dog and Tsuruya dressed as a swan]].
** During the Anime's version of the [[HotSpringsEpisode Literature Club field trip]], after bathing in the onsen, Haruhi declares it to be the 15,498th Ping-Pong meet, referencing the number of repetitions quoted in the Endless Eight arc.

* WeUsedToBeFriends: Yuki and Ryōko with Kimidori. One omake suggests that they were close in the past, but had a falling out around the time Kimidori joined the student council.

** From chapter thirty-three: [[spoiler:"I... Kyon, I love you."]] To explain, [[spoiler:Yuki's alternate personality was prepared to "die" without telling Kyon how she felt, then spilled her guts on an impulse. This forces Kyon to confront his feelings for Yuki, but it alters their relationship's dynamic because the two personas were distinct people, leaving Kyon to deal with the loss of someone he's just realized he loves, who is still physically present but psychologically gone.]]

''The Vanishing of Nagato Yuki-chan'' (in Japanese, ''Nagato Yuki-chan no Shoushitsu'') is a SpinOff slice-of-life manga for the ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'' series. Running from 2009 to 2016, the manga was written and illustrated by Puyo, creator of the original ''Manga/HaruhiChan'' manga. In this alternate universe, Yuki Nagato is not an alien; she's a quiet, ordinary girl who is the president of North High's Literature Club alongside her best friend, Ryōko Asakura, and Kyon, whom she harbours feelings for. As such, the bashful Yuki becomes even more uncertain around Kyon, who's enjoying the idle, calm environment that the Literature Club provides. With the ever-watchful Ryōko keeping an eye on Yuki, the latter's feelings do not go unnoticed; Ryōko soon pushes the reluctant Yuki forwards in expressing these feelings towards Kyon.

* BookEnds: In the first scene after the color introduction, Ryōko wakes up Yuki by pulling her hair, asking her "Are you quite awake, Your Highness?" In the last scene, Ryōko, [[spoiler:visiting Japan while on vacation]], does the same thing to Yuki to wake her up.

** Ryōko reins in some of her parental tendencies, dramatically chastising herself at times. [[spoiler:In the end, she becomes fully supportive of Yuki's relationship with Kyon and leaves for Canada to go to college closer to her parents]].

* ChildhoodFriends: Yuki and Ryōko. Apparently, Kimidori [[WeUsedToBeFriends used to be friends with them]].

* LastNameBasis: Despite being long-time friends, Yuki and Ryōko typically call each other by their given names and the "-san" honorific.

** Near the end of the manga, Kyon's little sister says, "Kyon-kun, phone," when Kyon gets a text, another reference to Endless Eight.

* ShrinkingViolet: Yuki is one in this series, being quite shy and often unwilling to do much on her own without prodding from someone else. [[spoiler:It turns out that ''Ryōko'' used to be the shy one of the two, which explains why she's somewhat dependent on Yuki]].

* StrongerThanTheyLook: Tsuruya effortlessly climbs the hill that exhausted Kyon, Koizumi, and Yuki en route to the stargazing spot near the resort, while carrying Mikuru piggyback the full length of the hike.

** Ryōko reins in some of her parental tendencies, dramatically chastising herself at times.

* LastNameBasis: Despite being long-time friends, Yuki and Ryōko typically call each other by their given names.

* ShrinkingViolet: Yuki is one in this series, being quite shy and often unwilling to do much on her own without prodding from someone else.

* StaticCharacter: Most of the characters in ''The Vanishing of Nagato Yuki-chan'' undergo little growth, bearing the same traits throughout the series.

* TimeSkip: The first volume of the manga skips forwards seven months after Ryōko's conversation with Yuki, leaving out details pertaining to how Kyon ended up joining the literature club until later.

* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Similar to her character in the other spinoff, Manga/HaruhiChan, Tsuruya is ridiculously fit. She declares a physically taxing (for other people) hike to be super-easy, hints that she and her family wrestle bears on vacation, and can even bodily throw someone a surprising distance.

* ButtMonkey: Haurhi's machinations leave Kyon on the receiving end even in this universe; while singing some karaoke at the hot springs resort, they stick around for Mikuru's song. But when it's Kyon's turn, he decides to go all-out on it. Unfortunately, Haruhi gets bored before he even starts, so she leaves. The others following her, leaving Kyon to sing by himself.

* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: There are numerous instances of this:

With the ever-watchful Ryōko keeping an eye on Yuki, the latter's feelings do not go unnoticed; Ryōko soon pushes the reluctant Yuki forwards in expressing these feelings towards Kyon.

However, this early peace does not last: shortly after celebrating Christmas together, Kyon and Yuki encounter none other than Haruhi Suzumiya, who'd been camped out at the park in an attempt to capture Santa Claus. Her boisterous presence and actions result in Itsuki Koizumi, Mikuru Asahina and Tsuruya joining the Literature club. Kyon and Yuki are suddenly thrown into adventures and mysteries that gradually, but surely, closes the distance between the two. As they spend more time together, hints of a LoveTriangle begin to materialise, as well. An AnimatedAdaptation produced by Satelight was aired as part of the Spring2015Anime season, and an OVA also aired during October 2015. Because the manga is ongoing, some spoilers for Disappearance are unmarked.

* BabiesEverAfter: [[spoiler: Yuki ends up having a kid at the end of the story.]]

** Ryōko's CuteAndPsycho traits are gone; she acts as a big-sister figure to Yuki, periodically advising her on how to get along with Kyon, and generally concerns herself with being a ProperLady to keep the others in check. At her worst, she's merely overbearing rather than murderous.

* TookALevelInKindness: Kyon and Haruhi are both noticeably nicer than their original characters, but this is most apparent with Ryōko, whose psychotic tendencies are discarded entirely. Ironically, as a normal person instead of an alien, she's no longer 100% nice all the time, such as when attempting murder. But the occasions she gets upset or pushy come free of killer impulses, so it's still a net gain of kindness.

* ImaginaryLoveTriangle: Initially, Tsuruya acts under the pretense that Yuki and Mikuru are rivals for Kyon's affections, despite Mikuru's protests to the contrary.

* LoveEpiphany:
** [[spoiler:Kyon for the alternate Yuki, shortly after her LoveConfession.]]
*** Later on, [[spoiler:he realizes that he's in love with the first Yuki as well, after overhearing her inadvertently admit to his sister that she loves him]]. After she [[spoiler:goes home, he thinks to himself, "I don't need a mirror to see that my face has turned red."]]
** Parodied in Chapter 61. After Kyon [[http://www.mangareader.net/nagato-yuki-chan-no-shoushitsu/61/9 compliments]] Ryōko's cooking, her heart [[http://www.mangareader.net/nagato-yuki-chan-no-shoushitsu/61/10 skips a beat]], leading her to briefly think that she might be in love with Kyon. Immediately afterwards, her outward [[http://www.mangareader.net/nagato-yuki-chan-no-shoushitsu/61/11 reaction]] portrays it as more of a mother-in-law sort of thing that the reader shouldn't think too hard about.
