Hachiman Hikigaya's travails in the Service Club continue! When his younger sister Komachi comes to the Service Club with a problem involving Hachiman's stoic, intimidating classmate Saki, he's faced with a challenge. How's he supposed to break through Saki's unflappable and frankly frightening demeanor? Is it possible that Hachiman's notorious cynicism is actually going to be good for something, for once?

A summer break without anyone around is the perfect scenario for loner Hachiman Hikigaya, but Hiratsuka-sensei knows just how to shatter his dreams. Instead of a quiet vacation, the members of the Service Club (as well as Hayama's circle of popular students) are helping out at a children's day camp. While elementary school is a distant memory for these teenagers, Hachiman ends up meeting a young kindred spirit--a loner named Rumi Tsurumi!

As Hachiman's summer vacation continues, the topic of Yukino comes up. She's had an influence on everyone around her, but what does Hachiman think of Yukino?

Who thought it would be a good idea to put the biggest, most cynical loner in school on the cultural festival committee? What's done is done, and Hachiman wants nothing more than to work as little as possible. But when the committee chair can't be bothered to even show up, Yukino and the others have to pick up the slack. As the event draws ever closer, will they be ready in time when half the staff is half-assing it?

There's a new student council president, and the Service Club's first job for their new leader is to help set up a Christmas event with another school. The problems keep piling up, but Hachiman keeps taking on task after task by himself! What's going to happen to the relationship between Hachiman, Yui, and Yukino from here?

Hachiman, Yui, and Yukino are back on the same page (more or less), and now the Service Club can devote its full attention to salvaging the joint Christmas event with Kaihin High School. But even they’re having trouble with the stranglehold Kaihin student president Tamanawa has on the planning, with his endless parade of pointless meetings! Hiratsuka-sensei might hold the key to breaking through, and it’s…tickets to Destiny Land theme park?!

Haruno orders Hachiman to leak the plans. Falling right in Haruno’s trap, Yukino’s Mother goes to the school to put a stop to the prom! And as Yukino and Hachiman discuss what happened with their little “competition,” something between them begins to shift…

The fake prom scheme has run its course, so it’s time to end the charade and relax a little with a karaoke party! But as the festivities wind down, Yui has a very personal request for Hachiman…one that has him thinking seriously about her. With the real Soubu High School prom on the horizon, what better setting is there for some classic teen drama?

“Let me throw your life out of alignment.” The prom goes off without a hitch, and Yukino announces the end of the Service Club’s activities. Hachiman just can’t accept it, though. Hachiman’s actions are a big surprise, but what are they...?

A sudden accident first brought together Hachiman Hikigaya, Yukino Yukinoshita, and Yui Yuigahama. Then they became the Service Club, helping others with their woes while working through their own complicated emotions. As the club now fulfills one last job—throwing the best interschool prom they can—the trio must think about how their relationship has changed and what future lies ahead for them. Their youth romantic comedy, mistakes and deviations and all, concludes here!

Hachiman Hikigaya is a cynic. "Youth" is a crock, he believes - a sucker's game, an illusion woven from failure and hypocrisy. But when he turns in an essay for a school assignment espousing this view, he's sentenced to work in the Service Club, an organization dedicated to helping students with problems in their lives! How will Hachiman the Cynic cope with a job that requires - gasp! - optimism?

Planning for the Soubu High prom continues, and Yukino is steadfast about working without Hachiman and Yui. But when she receives complaints from parents worried about moral impropriety, it might just put the kibosh on everything. Even worse-the parents’ representative is Yukino’s mother, whose disarming social grace makes negotiating all but futile! Can Hachiman help without going back on his word to Yukino? And as he spends more time with Yui, where will his feelings take him?

In spite of his best efforts, Hachiman still finds himself helping out his fellow students as a member of the Service Club. When delusional fantasy lover and fellow reject Zaimokuza tries to establish a "Playing Club," how will Hachiman, Yui, and Yukino handle his antics?

As Valentine’s Day approaches, Yumiko is back with another request for the Service Club! She wants to figure out a way to give Hayama some chocolate, but standing in her way is his well-known policy of never accepting gifts on February 14. Hachiman, Yui, and Yukino decide to hold a cooking class as camouflage for some sweet exchanges, but their plan may lead to some unforeseen results-including a reminder of the unspoken feelings among the three of them…
