    Synopsis:

    The series centers on Houtarou Oreki, a high school freshman dedicated to minimizing exertion and maintaining a quiet existence. His carefully constructed routine is disrupted when his sister enrolls him in the Classics Club, a struggling organization on the verge of closure. He finds an unexpected ally in Eru Chitanda, a relentlessly inquisitive classmate who quickly joins the club, sparking unforeseen events.

    As more students are drawn into their ranks, the Classics Club evolves beyond mere obligation. Driven by Chitanda's boundless curiosity and Oreki’s sharp intellect, the group dedicates itself to unraveling the small mysteries hidden within everyday life. The anime explores themes of personal growth, human connection, and finding purpose in seemingly insignificant moments, presented through a calm, observant lens. The narrative emphasizes character dynamics and gentle humor over high-stakes conflict, offering a contemplative look at youth and observation.
