Plot Overview: Solving the "Quiet" Mysteries
Houtarou Oreki believed in the preservation of energy. His motto was simple: "If I don't have to do it, I won't. If I have to do it, I'll make it quick." He spent his days at Kamiyama High School navigating a "gray" existence, carefully avoiding the "rose-colored" traps of club activities and teenage enthusiasm. That was until his sister forced him to join the dying Classic Literature Club to keep it from being abolished. gogoanime hyouka
