Volume 1
After reading work about Hachiman's high school life. His homeroom teacher, Shizuka Hiratsuka, doesn't like Hachiman's general view of adolescence and typical high school life. As punishment for writing such a silly essay, the teacher decided to join the service club to change his stereotypical view of high school life. Hachiman recognizes the girl to be Yukino Yukinoshita, and he remembers her as the smartest girl in his grade and considers her "the prettiest girl in the school". Shizuka wants him to join the club and change clubs, but Yukino refuses because he fears for her life even when Hachiman's gaze tries to turn away from her. Yukino reconsiders and allows him to join the club, while Shizuka leaves the room. Hachiman at first tried to inanimate Yukino but back down, she'd later told him to sit, and he would later grab a seat. After a moment of silence, Hachiman asked what bat he had. At first, Hachiman guessed that it was a literal club since there was nothing in the classroom, but he was wrong. Yukino explains that their club is known as the Service Club and plans to solve his problem, but Hachiman finds this irritating and thinks he is handsome, but what? He brought up placement in Japan’s ability tests, and even though he didn't have friends and girlfriends, he felt that he was in the high league. Yukino would find that impressive as he speaks confidently and amuses that his loneliness is due to his pride sensitivity and demeanor. the eyes of the beholder. Although he doesn’t like her opinion, but considers that she is making some sense. Concluding their simulation test much to his confusion, she states that if he can hold a conversation with girls like her then he could have a conversation with anyone, and asks if she’d fixed him. Hachiman states that it isn’t that he can’t talk to people but he just doesn’t make any small talk and doesn’t need to be fixed. Although she finds that he’s on a level fitting into society being difficult, Shizuka enters the room and notes that she was having trouble with him. Yukino stated that Hachiman isn’t aware of him having a problem although he denies it, having an issue with how people tell him to change and that he doesn’t want anyone to tell him who to be, Yukino would find that’s how people run from their problems although Hahciman counter by saying that changing is a way of running from problems and that people should just accept those as they are. However, Yukino finds that wouldn’t solve anything or save anyone. Shizuka would propose a show between the two where the loser must do anything that the winner requests them, although Yukino was to decline as having Hachiman as her opponent makes her fear for her life. Still, Hahciman finds that offensive. But would accept after Shizuka had convinced Yukino to accept the challenge, although Hachiman didn’t get a say.

The next day, at the service club room Yukino was surprised to see that Hachiman came back to the club room, she would ask him questions that he would deny. Something that Hachiman would find her overconfidence weird, guessing that she doesn’t have any friends although she wants him to define friends. Hachiman would discover that Yukino like him who is also a loner with no friends. After hearing her story and her desire to change people. Something that Hachiman would find as too much effort in a crazy cause. Yukino responds that he finds Hachiman’s meaning of existence to fade away better something she hates is that he turns his weakness into something positive. At that moment, Hachiman would note how Yukino carries those feelings of someone who doesn’t have anything and thinks that she’s different and that she wouldn’t lie to herself, and thinks that there alike. He tries to ask to be her friend but she rejects him before he finishes the question. They would later bet by Yui Yuigahama from Hachiman’s class. A name that Yukino would know, Hachiman would ask her if she remembered all the names of every student although she would deny this as she didn’t know his name and use sarcasm on him. As Yui asks the club if they will help her but has trouble stating with what, but she glances at Hachiman when she mentions cookies. Yukino coldly signals for Hachiman to leave the room so she can talk to Yui privately. Hachiman would excuse himself saying that he was going to get a Sportop drink, and Yukino would request a Vegetable Lifestyle 100 Strawberry Yogurt Mix. Hachiman would buy the drinks and get an extra drink for Yui. For Yui's request to help practice making cookies, Yukino would ask Hachiman to be the taste tester. Later in the home economics room, Hahcima learns Yui’s request that the Service Club help her bake cookies for someone. Although Yui and Yukino will be baking cookies, Hachiman would ask what he is supposed to do and Yukino would have him taste the cookies and offer his opinion. Although they would see Yui had failed to bake cookies. Both Yukino and Hachiman would be surprised to hear when Yui calls Yukino so cool which causes Yui to want to try again, Hachiman would ask Yukino to teach her again, but she fails again. Hachiman would ask why they were trying to bake cookies that tasted good something that Yukino would question. He tells them to come back to the room in 10 minutes, and later he would present the same cookies and they would taste them. Hachiman tries to prove his point by telling a story (that was in his past, about his first mistaken crush from middle school) something that Yukino notes he tries to use reverse psychology to fulfill Yui's request. The following week Yukino would ask Hachiman if they did the right thing in handling Yui’s request. Yukino would state that Hachiman should challenge his limits which she thinks would have changed Yui. Although Hachiman states that people's efforts don’t betray their dreams even though he states that not all dreams come true through effort and not all come true if those try their best they can take solace in that, something that Yukino finds to be self-satisfaction. Yui comes to the club room and gives them both a bag of cookies that she baked.

In the anime, after discussing Hachiman’s biology assignment, she asks him about the Service Club. Shizuka would ask Hachiman’s opinion of Yukino, and Hachiman would answer that he doesn’t like her. Shizuka would talk about Yukino, and then she would talk about both Hachiman and Yukino because of their unorthodox views on society.

Later Yui and Yumiko had a dispute during lunch break while in his class due to the rain. Hachiman would watch Yukino defend Yui and talk down to Yumiko. After leaving the classroom, Hachiman would spot Yukino around the corner and the two would both listen to Yui telling Yumiko her true feelings about how she wants to be treated. While listening, they both hear Yui talking about the two and hear about Hachiman’s antics and creepy laugh while in the club. Yukino would also note that she didn’t know he also does in class, which Hachiman would ask why she didn’t do anything about it, but she didn’t want to while he was being creepy. Hachiman would watch Yukino leave her spot where they were listening to Yui and Yumiko’s conversation. One day after school Hachiman listens to Yui talking to Yukino. As Hachiman quizzes Yui with a Trans-Chiba Ultra Quiz. Yui soon gets distracted and asks Yukino if she wants to get ramen sometimes, but neither of them eats it that often.

Later the next day, when Hachiman was walking to the club room, he spotted Yukino and Yui by the door, he would startle them when he asked what they were doing, which caused Yukino to ask him not to sneak up on them, and he apologizes, and he would ask them again. They would all look to see who was in the club room and find a student named Yoshiteru Zaimokuza, Yukino would ask if he knows him, but he denies it at first but later remembers him. Yukino would ask Hachiman’s friend if he wants something from Hachiman although he states that he’s not his friend. Yoshiteru would try to ask the Service Club to help. Still, Yukino would ask Hachiman what Yoshiteru’s meaning of Kengo Shogun was, and Hachiman would explain that Yoshiteru is a chūnibyō, and explain why Yoshiteru views Hachiman as his partner, which surprises Yukino how informed Hachiman is about Daibosatsu and Seiwa Genji. Yukino would be surprised to hear from Hachiman that others like Yoshiteru are worse than him. Hachiman also explained the details of the Seven Lucky Gods but stopped as he thought that Yukino was trying to lead him into something which she denies, Hachiman would explain that he was like that in the past. It was revealed in Hachiman’s monologue that he has a notebook labeled “People to Kill” and within that notebook, it’s revealed that he has Yukino’s name listed in that notebook. Hachiman watches as Yukino becomes intrepid that Yoshiteru’s request is to cure his “illness”, Hachiman tries to cut in but stops. Yoshiteru would explain his request to the Service Club that he wants them to review his manuscript for his novel. Hachiman would explain to Yoshiteru that all of the people who would be ruthless were Yukino. Later that night Hachiman and Yukino both read parts of Yoshiteru’s novel except for Yui. The next day at the school, at the Service Club Hachiman finds Yukino sleeping while in her chair. He tells her good work but she is still asleep and woken up later seeing Hachiman’s face. She insults him when she sees his face she is not tired, which irritates him causing him to think of how close he was to being deceived by her looks and wish that she could be put to sleep forever. Later when Yoshiteru asked their thoughts about his novel, but Yukino gave harsh criticism to Yoshiteru, Hachiman asked her not to further criticize him although she said that she wasn’t done and stopped. Later that day Yoshiteru asks the Service Club if they would read his work again as he wants to hear their thoughts and opinions in the future, to which Hachiman agrees. They would later watch Yoshiteru leave but not before he does his weird antics.

During Lunch, Hachiman hears from Yui that she had lost a game with Yukino. He first thought that her punishment was to talk to him but she tells him that the loser had to buy drinks. Hachiman hears from Yui how at first Yukino that she could obtain her drink and not have any enjoyment to fill that desire while Yui intercepts Yukino’s voice, which he states that’s how she would like even as she states that Yui would probably lose. When Hachiman was talking about crowds and ingroups, Yui would point out to Hachiman that he and Yukino are like an “in group” when they are talking to each other causing Yui to state that she has difficulty joining in their conversation. Hachiman would state that Yukino is different and a force of nature. Later at the service club, Yukino shuts down Hachiman’s idea to join the tennis club. It’s revealed in Hachiman’s monologue that he had planned to leave the Service Club and pretend to join the Tennis Club and gradually leave the tennis club. Yukino would ask if he’s capable of doing group activities as they wouldn’t accept him and have him on their team, she also states that the team would be unified as they would have Hachiman as their enemy. And it wouldn’t solve their problem if they worked together to get rid of Hachiman. She would conclude by stating her source, to which Hachiman would ask where she came up with that statement and she would reveal that she used to live overseas, she would reveal to him back in middle school that the girls in her school determined to try to get rid of her and had failed to. Although Hachiman wants to help Saika, Yukino asks if he’s normally the type that worries about others, he states that it’s the first time that anyone has asked for his help. Although Yukino states that he can’t always help others as it’s not the best solution. He would ask her what’s her best solution, although she told him her solution was to continue to train them until they dropped dead, which freaks Hachiman out a bit. Hachiman sees Yukino is going to continue and tries to defuse her rant by saying that it's typical behavior when a cute girl like her shows up. Yukino continues anyway, although she is red in the face. She also confronts Hachiman as to why he cares so much about Totsuka's request. Hachiman says as it's the first time anyone has asked him for help. Yukino tries to outlast him, by proudly stating that people came to her for help all the time, even for romantic advice. She also hints that a girl told her she liked a boy, who then asked out Yukino. The other girls started to "abuse' Yukino for encroaching on their "claim" even though she was the one approached.

Yui enters the room and brings Saika to the club room who has a request for help. While Yui was talking about her being a club member, Hachiman would be surprised to hear when Yukino revealed that Yui wasn’t a member of the club. The service club would accept Saika’s request to improve his tennis skills, although Hachiman asked what the club was going to due, Yukino told him what they were going to do and asked if he had forgotten, to which he asked that she was serious. At the tennis courts, the service club helped with Saika’s tennis practices as the days passed. One day at the tennis courts while helping with Saika, Hachiman watches Yukino leave the tennis courts. When Hachiman and Yui are facing Yumiko and Hayato's tennis competition, Yukino enters the tennis courts in Yui's place, because Yukino steps in for Yui, because Yui calls her a friend. Yukino would make a shy remark and tell Hachiman and Yui they could think of her as a friend. Both Hachiman and Yukino would face both Yumiko and Hayato, and Hachiman was impressed that she was able to return Yumiko's strokes. The two would get an early lead in the composition, during one of the rounds Hachiman was shocked that Yukino did a jump serve winning the round. Hachiman finds her a ridiculous person and wants her to finish the game, although she wants to she can't because of her weak stamina, and during their conversation, a ball would pass them causing the round to end in a duce. Because Yumiko wants to finish the match, Yukino points Hachiman to finish the match, and she tells him that she says rash and improper things, but never tells a lie. And the two would win the game but not the match. Later Hachiman goes to the club but accidently sees the girls changing and he would have a racquet thrown at him by Yukino.

After arriving at the Service club’s room after class, Hachiman sees Yukino sitting at her usual spot quietly reading. They would chat for a while and enjoy the quiet when their conversation dies down. Shizuka would enter the room noisily ruining the peace. She declares their "battle royale" scores to be 2-2, a tie. Shizuka declares that it was 4 requests, but her grading is biased and arbitrary. Hachiman and Yukino both would say mean things to her. They both would say it in sync that was almost like they'd been friends for years. But Yukino says she'd never be friends with Hachiman.

Volume 2
At the Club room, Yukino asks Hachiman if he hasn’t seen Yui after she enters the room she reveals to him because he hasn’t been coming to the club room at a reasonable time he has to be looked for by Yui. However, Hachiman tells her that she doesn’t have to use inverse words as he already understood. When Hachiman and Yui were exchanging numbers, he told a story back when he was in middle school, he used to text a girl. But as he tells his story, he sees their reaction. Yukino would pity him stating cruel kindness could be sometimes although he didn’t want her to pity him, he also reveals that he had texted the girl, but the girl had avoided him, to which Yukino believes that she was pretending to sleep to ignore Hachiman’s text, and tells him not to advert his eyes from the truth and expect the reality. Although Hachiman states that he knows the reality and writes an article about it. After Hachiman realizes that Shizuka adds her number to Hachiman's phone, Shizuka also releases him from her custody to send him off with Yui and Yukino. Back at the clubroom, Yui receives a message and Yukino accuses Hachiman which annoys him and demands proof from her, but she finds his words to be enough proof. She states about certain lines criminals would say, and would poke fun at his introduction skills and that he should make a living writing crime novels and doesn’t find herself comfortable being in the same room with a “killer” but states that it sounded more to the victim, as sees it as a death flag. Yui would vouch that Hachiman is not the culprit for the weird messages, even though she mentioned that it was classmates in her class though he’s in the same class as she and Yukino conclude that Hachiman isn’t the culprit. And Hachiman finds that she considered Yui’s statement as evidence. With the midterms coming up Yukino decides to help Yui study for the midterms as they have free time a week before exams as club activities are canceled.

With two weeks left for until the midterms, Hachiman stops by a family restaurant to study alone. As he is studying he hears Yui and Yukino. Yui would suggest that Hachiman should study with them and the girls would join Hachiman at his table. While studying they would come across a boy and a girl paying at the register. Hachiman reveals that the girl is his sister and tries to excuse himself to go confront the girl, but she leaves before he can even reach her. Yui tries to offer up the possibility that "Komachi" was on a date. But Hachiman goes on a rant to the two of them that He and his father wouldn't allow it. He also broods about how fiercely he and his dad are in wanting to protect her, and he also reveals how his father doesn't even like how close Hachiman is with Komachi. Because Komachi once said "I'm going to marry Onii-chan when I grow up!".

Later at the Service Club, Hachiman, Yui, and Yukino are listening to Yoshiteru bablling about the upcoming workplace tour. But he is eventually sliced by Yukinio and the group discusses the proper behavior for the upcoming tour. As everyone prepares to leave at the end of the day they hear a rhythmic knock as a surprise visitor enters the room. Hayato would enter the room with a request for the Service Club, to peacefully settle the matter of the rumors about his friends. While discussing how to deal with the situation, Yukino proposes that they go after the culprit that she based on her own experience, which annoyed Hachiman that she based something on her own experience. While discussing when the messages started showing, she asks Hachiman what could be the cause of annoying him because she only asked him for the sake of asking. In a flashback, it’s revealed that while discussing how friendships are affected by a group of 3 people for their Workplace Visit, and suspects one of Hayato’s friends is the culprit but he doesn’t want to expect any of them as the culprit. While talking about Hayato about his friends, she asks both Hachiman and Yui to investigate them but Yui isn’t sure and Hachiman doesn’t know them very well but decides to investigate as he doesn’t care what others think of him and finds flaws in people were his talent, to which Yukino would expect too much. Hayato would mention Hachiman being friends with the Service Club. After Yui tries to get information, Hachiman, Yui, and Yukino meet up, after Yui apologizes, Yukino questions Hachiman who he decides to investigate, and is surprised that he decides to gather information by watching. At the service club, Yukino asks Hachiman if he figured anything out, and he reveals that the Hayato’s friends are only friends with him and not each other, Yukino finds that it reinforces their motives to bring each other down even without finding out the culprit, their issue would be resolved. Yukino would question Hachiman’s answer on how to settle the matter.

After school, Hachiman finds Yui, Yukino, and Saika having a study session at a local cafe. Hachiman approaches the group when Saika asks if Hachiman was invited to the group, but Yukino reveals that he wasn’t invited into the group which annoys Hachiman as he tells her that she shouldn’t ask answers that are intended to hurt people when talking about the college he reveals that he applying for a scholarship at a prep school, Yukino would correct Yui about him saying “scholarship” instead of “scholarship”. After hearing Hachiman’s intent for a scholarship, Yukino finds him mentioned a cheap trick. Yui, Yukino, and Saika would later meet Hachiman’s sister, Komachi. While Yui and Saika introduce themselves to Komachi as his classmates, Yukino introduces herself seeing herself not as Hachiman’s classmate or his friend but as an acciquantces of his. Which annoys him as for the say that she said it as if it was a question. While discussing with Taishi’s older sister Saki, Yukino deduces that Saki had changed after being in the same class with Hachiman, which offenses him as she stated it as a germ even calling him a “Hikigerma” even though she said that she misspoke. When Taishi was speaking about his family situation, Yukino commented on how every family has their problems which Hachiman was surprised to hear. As Yukino made her decision, Hachimaln asked if she was planning on doing something, deciding to deal with Saki the service club members held a meeting in the Service Club room where they discussed how to fix Saki. Hachiman asks what they do and Yukino proposes animal therapy, with Hachiman’s cat, Kamakura in a box Hachiman asks Yukino what her intentions are with his cat. Yukino plans to use Hachiman’s cat to bring out Saki’s gentle side. While waiting Yukino meows with Hachiman’s cat he questions her about what she is doing and she asks him if he’s not able to do a task scaring him, even barbading him. He thinks that she would kill him if he talked back. Later they decide to have a teacher talk to Saki, but it fails.

Later at another cafe, they would go to Angel Ladder Cafe at a hotel Royal Okura Hotel, Hachiman would see Yukino and Yui in formal wear. While in Angel Ladder Cafe, they find Saki, and while speaking with her, Yukino notes that Hachiman is the only person who would be in the same class with someone and for them to not know his face and when Saki asks if she and Hachiman were on a date, she would deny going on a date with Hachiman and states him being an object and not a funny joke, to which he asks her not to be mean to him when she’s arguing with people. While Yukino was talking with Saki, Hachiman would tell Yui that Yukino might have lied about her age, kids their age can’t work passed curfew. As the discussion with Yukino and Saki gets heated, Hachiman decides that they should leave. At Wacnordo, the Service Club speaks about the Kawasaki family situation and how Saki’s been trying to get ready for college. When Komachi reveals that her brother comes home too early so that she wouldn’t be alone, Yukino states that she thought that he left school early because he didn’t have any friends, which he asked how she’d know and wondered if she “Yukipedia”. As the Kawasaki siblings leave, Yukino asks what it’s like to have siblings but Hachiman states that it all depends on the siblings they have, and also calls them the closest strange in their lives which Yukino understands. Hachiman and Yukino would later say their goodbye and Yukino tells Hahiman to "be careful not to get into another accident". Hinting that she knows about the accident, Hachiman sleep-deprived assumes that he told her at some point.

On Sunday at LaLaport TOKYO Bay Mall Yukino, Hachiman, and Komachi go to a shopping mall, although Hachiman and Yukino wanted to split up to find shops to find a present Komachi wanted to all go into one place within the shopping mall. While within the shopping mall, Komachi walks with Hachiman and Yukino within the shopping mall, but at some point, she leaves them. After a phone call with Komachi, Hachiman tells Yukino that she wants to go buy something and is leaving everything to them. After Yukino bought something at a shop while shopping at other stores, Hachiman received a weird look from staff he would ask Yukino if he’d looked suspicious, but stated that men are viewed suspiciously in women's stores. Trying to go to a different spot, Yukino stops Hachiman as she has standards different from a normal high school girl, she asks his help, but since he can’t go into any of the women's stores she tells him not to be too far although he question on the meaning of that, she would talk down to him and she gives Hachiman her permission to treat her as his girlfriend for the day. But doesn’t have a problem with it much to her confusion. He thinks that they would never actually date, but she doesn’t lie although they would be pretending. Yukino was certain that Hachiman would dislike the idea but Hachiman didn’t have any reason to not like it and thought that Yukino would hate it although she didn’t mind it, he sighed as she stated that if there was not anyone who knew them from getting the wrong idea. Yukino's "plan" works, but Yukino is having difficulty selecting a gift for Yui. Hachiman suggests that they should choose something practical for Yui.

While at a seating area, Hachiman tells Yukino that she’s not shopping for any office supplies, as she would never settle on anything based on their durability and doubts that Yui looks for any qualities within clothing although Yukino can’t help it. Although she worries about the kind of friends she is for Yui as she doesn’t know Yui’s hobbies or any type of clothes she likes, Hachiman would tell Yukino if she pretended to know him off-handed based info he wouldn’t be pleased and makes a comparison to giving someone from Chiba peanuts. But Yukino doesn’t find that comparison to make any sense he would also compare it to knowing wine but not knowing wine. While at a kitchenware store, Yukino disappears inside and Hachiman finds her wearing a black cate-themed apron, Yukino asks what she looks in an apron and he compliments her, although she thanks him, she is asking about Yui, although he states that Yui would prefer frilly and stupid-looking stuff. Although she found that harsh, she found it accurate that she didn’t know how to respond. While getting a pink apron he notices that Yukino is also getting the black one as well, much to his surprise.

After Hachiman buys his gift for Yui's dog at the pet store, they decide that it's time to leave. On the way, Yukino notices Ginnie The Grue plushy in an arcade crane game. Yukino was unsuccessfully getting the toy, Hachiman gets the toy through an underhanded technique and tries to convince Yukino to take it and is surprised at how much she likes it. Yukino would fervently explain that she liked Pansan. She also mentions that she received an original copy for her birthday when she was little and has tremendous knowledge of the origins of the story. Hachiman compares her enthusiasm to him when he's talking about manga. They would later be spotted and interrupted by Yukino’s sister, while talking with Haruno, she teases them about being a couple but he denies it. Haruno tells if he makes Yukino cry she’ll never forgive her but she also tells Hachiman to be nice to Yukino as she’s a delicate girl. Yukino would also complain to Hachiman not to reveal any strange “fetishes” to any girl or they’d sue him that he couldn’t complain. Before Haruno left, in the manga and the Japanese version of the anime, she would tell Hachiman if he became Yukino’s boyfriend that they should grab drinks sometimes. Hachiman and Yukino would talk about Haruno, although he remarks on Haruno's cheerful facade, she would be amazed that Hachiman saw through Haruno's fake personality, although he was annoyed by that remark.

Later in the anime, a dog would come up to them, and Yukino would cower back retreating to Hachiman’s side. Yui would appear as if she was trying to get her dog Sablé, and question why they were together, but they both would state to have no reason in sync with each other. Yui would mistake the two of them for dating. Yukino invites Yui to come to the club room on Monday, but Yui misunderstands when Yukino says to talk about "us".

Later after leaving the mall they would head to the train station and say their goodbyes. Hachiman watches Yukino walk away until she's out of sight. After school on Monday, at the clubroom, Yukino and Yui began to talk about their "future". Hachiman notes they seem to be talking about different things, but before anything is resolved Yoshiteru enters complaining about being bullied. Yoshiteru would come up with a request about the UG club, they agreed to settle their differences with a game but Yoshiteru wants them to cancel the game or fix it so that he'll win. With Hachiman provoking Yoshiteru's anger to the Service Club, this provoked Yukino into accepting Yoshiteru's request much to Hachiman's terror. While Hachiman, Yukino, Yui, and Yoshiteru find themselves at the UG Club door. Yui still confused about their awkward situation asks Hachiman if he has a girlfriend, as she thought that seeing him and Yujkin at the Tokyo Cat and Dog show.
