Hotaro Oreki is a minimalistic high school boy. One day, he joins the Classic Literature Club at his elder sister's request. There he meets Eru Chitanda, Satoshi Fukube, and Mayaka Ibara. Chitanda is a calm beautiful girl but she turns into an embodiment of curiosity once she says, "I'm curious." Fukube is a smiling boy with a fantastic memory who calls himself a database. Ibara is a short girl and is strict with others and herself. They begin to investigate a case that occurred 45 years ago. Hints of the mystery are buried in an old collection of works of the former members of Classic Literature Club. The collection is titled "Hyouka."
