In the July issue of NyanType, Satelight released official art of Nagato Yuki-Chan No Shoushitsu’s Yuki relaxing by the pool with her PSP. This issue of NyanType can be purchased here.
There is a possibility that Satelight made this visual to reference the original series, The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya‘s wardrobe for Nagato Yuki. One of these is Yuki’s endless eight swimsuit, which is included in many original The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya visuals. The version that the alternate universe of The Disappearance Of Haruhi Suzumiya’s Yuki wears in the visual is a bikini. This could be reference to how this Yuki checks her stomach in the mirror everyday, as Asakura Ryoko states in the first episode of the spinoff.
The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan is a spin-off manga in The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya franchise, where it stars the eponymous character Yuki Nagato. The series takes place in the alternate universe established in The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya. The series is written and drawn by Puyo, which started in February 2010. To date, the series has a total of 5 volumes with the 6th volume releasing on December 26th this year.
There is very little information regarding the anime announcement of The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan, including whether or no Kyoto Animation will produce it. Two other spin-off manga were also produced into anime: The Melancholy of Haruhi-chan Suzumiya and Nyoron Churuya-san.
