Adolescence is not always kind. Nor is it always harsh.
What is it?
Originally written as a series of novels by Honobu Yonezawa, the story centers on a high school boy named Houtarou Oreki, a passive, self-proclaimed "energy-saver," who refuses to do things that will force him to expend unnecessary energy. At the insistence of his older sister, he enters his new school's Classics Club, where he meets the inquisitive Eru Chitanda, and the group begins investigating a mystery that occurred 33 years ago. Clues to the mystery are found in a collection of works called "Hyouka."
