The melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

More famous in the anime versions, it began life as a light novel series and also includes a movie and many manga.

Adored the light novels. To any readers unfamiliar with the term, a light novel is a short novel with a few manga drawings for major scenes and character intros.

Story is about a girl who experiences a major epiphany at a young age and starts seeking the abnormal, weird and unusual to make herself extraordinary. In the search for aliens, time travelers and psychic powers, the girl undergoes intense change herself and transforms herself into a god.

She has no idea about her powers and she creates what she desires, a world where all her dreams are real. Of course, she has to be supervised or she might destroy the world in a fit of boredom. So, the alien, the time traveler and the esper join forces to look after her with one human boy who knows their true identity while keeping Haruhi Suzumiya in the dark about everything. Recipe for mayhem, chaos and destruction. Leave it to Kyon to look after a god.
