My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, as I Expected

Step into the cynical world of Hachiman Hikigaya, a high school student whose deeply pessimistic outlook has left him isolated and friendless. He believes that the concept of youth, with its vibrant friendships and romantic entanglements, is nothing more than a charade built on lies and self-deception. His apathy is a shield, protecting him from the perceived hypocrisy of social interaction. This unwavering worldview, however, catches the attention of his teacher, who sees an unconventional path to rehabilitation. Hachiman is forcibly conscripted into the Service Club, a small, unassuming group dedicated to helping students with their various problems. Here, he clashes with the club's only other member, the brilliant and equally solitary Yukino Yukinoshita, whose icy demeanor masks her own complex ideals. Their clashing philosophies and unexpected collaborations begin to unravel the intricate tapestry of high school life, revealing surprising truths about themselves and the people around them.
