朝比奈ミクルの冒険：イツキ篇
A rendition of the great movie master Suzumiya Haruhi's "The Adventures of Mikuru Asahina Episode 00" (acclaimed to be the masterpiece of surrealism)- relive the exciting tales of the world's cutest combat waitress (from the future)!
Preface
Every great movie in history has been adapted into written form* - like J.R.R Tolk-n's Lord of the Rings, where many more songs have been sang in its moving picture than in words, many details included about the history and politics of Middle Earth, and many more orcs have been killed. The point here is great movies deserve adaptations and grand master Susumiya Haruhi's maiden work, The Adventures of Mikuru Asahina Episode 00, renders more than just one (in fact there are currently 57 (and counting)* editions of adaptions to her work).
Despite the movie being her inaugural piece (and being aired only transiently during the cultural festival of North High), this debut work has reached international acclamation - over 51 countries and 7 continents, there is bound to be someone who has heard of her work.*
In this rendition, the author has decided to honor the works of the great movie master by using all of the original dialogues from the movie, to create yet a completely similar story!
