He does not want to participate in any club activities at his school but he joins the Classic Literature club when his older sister tells him she had been a member and it is about to die off because of disinterest in it. She asks him to join and he is unable to refuse things she asks of him. There, he meets Eru Chitanda (Alice Hirose), an innocent girl with great curiosity from one of the most prominent families in that town. Two of Hotarou's friends, Satoshi Fukube (Amane Okayama) and Mayaka Ibara (Fujiko Kojima), also become members of the club.

Eru's uncle, Jun Sekiya (Kanata Hongo), had been a member of the club and a Hyouka anthology which was published 33 years ago relates to his disappearance 10 years earlier.
