These mysteries are what form the bread and butter of the story, so it's a fortunate thing then that the mysteries themselves are varied involving fairly interesting situations such as a room being locked or ghost sightings during a hot springs trip, and trivial events such as why a student was suddenly called to the office after school. Shortly after their first exchange, Chitanda drives Oreki into a set of mysteries involving the club and its later two members, a repeated occurence often instigated by her eyes lighting in excitement and being followed by her catchphrase, 'I can't stop thinking about it!'.

And indeed, if not for a certain girl immediately joining the club, Oreki could very well have maintained his status quo of living dully and freely.īut perhaps change isn't always a bad thing. For an individual uninterested by studying, sports, and socalizing, joining a club can be an arduous and painful ordeal. Receiving a letter from his older sister asking him to join the club to keep it from being disbanded from lack of membership, he solemnly accepts his duties and sends in a club registration form, which appropriately causes surprise for his close friend Satoshi. Oreki Houtarou is one of these individuals.ĭull and grey life of Oreki's first year in highschool, the story begins with an important change to his individual status quo - the joining of the school's Classics Club, albeit out of obligation rather than choice. After all, why waste the energy on trivial matters? On the other hand, there are some who reject this notion and choose to spend their days as uneventfully and routinely as possible, never straying too far from their comfort zone and established lifestyle.
