Last week, the second volume of H’s magazine was released and within its covers, many of Haruhi’s non-speaking classmates were named albeit in the form of “X-san”. I think the girl in the upper right is Hinata-san but I can’t make out most of the kanji due to the flash and compactness of type. Might have to snag a copy when I visit J-Town this weekend.
It’s nice that these characters were given some personality instead of just being written off as background decoration but I don’t think most people care except for those fans who are very detail-oriented.

Reminds me of Negima.
Yeah, some personality is indeed needed for those non-main characters, but usually, it’s just best for those characters to be neglected. Even Haruhi herself needed more focus on as the main character.

I think they have the room chart in the Official Guide with names, although I think your’s is better since it has color pics rather than just sketches of the classmates.

Can anyone traslate that for me? I’ve been searching everywhere…
Yea, I’m very detail-oriented.
