Haruhi Suzumiya & SOS Brigade Members Join ‘Please, My President!’
IYAGAMES has announced an exhilarating collaboration between its popular mobile business simulation game, ‘Please, My President!’, and the beloved TV anime series, ‘The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya’. Kicking off on December 27, 2025, and running until January 31, 2026, this event promises to bring a fresh wave of otherworldly charm to the corporate world of ‘Please, My President!’.
‘The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya’, a landmark in Japanese animation, captivated audiences worldwide with its unique blend of school life, science fiction, and comedy.

This collaboration bridges two distinct universes, allowing fans to experience their favorite characters in an entirely new context.
