Ichigo: "Hi. My name is Ichigo Kurosaki. Before I found Haruhiism, I was a disillusioned young boy who was lost in life." |

Vanity Fair Is a Magazine, Not a Book is Oxenstierna D. Yuki-Rin's parody of the book Vanity Fair. In the parody, after taking a career class, Kagami Hiiragi becomes a governess to the adopted kids of the Straw Hats, who include the Eleven Supernovas and Ichigo Kurosaki, who was adopted into the Straw Hats because his dad is in parenting classes after a drunken night. Together with the Supernovas, Ichigo, and the the Church of Haruhiism, a fake religious cult set up by Haruhi Suzumiya, Kagami vows to get Ichigo back to his family.
The first chapter of the fanfic was posted in November 2010 and the last chapter was posted in February of 2011. It can no longer be found here [dead link].

- Cultured Badass: Kartik Abingdon, one of the authoress' OCs. After the members of Urahara Shoten hear that Kagami got fired from her governess job, this brief exchange between Kartik and Urahara happens.
