About Hyouka

Hyouka is a pun: pronounced in English as "Ice cream" that also pronounces "I Scream".

Hyouka is a mystery novel by Yonezawa Honobu. It is the first volume of Classic Literature Club series. A manga adaptation drawn by Task Ohna was serialized in Kadokawa Shoten's Monthly Shounen Ace.

Synopsis:
Hōtarō Oreki is a high school boy, who always acts passively. One day, he enters "Koten Bu (Classic Literature Club; Classics Club for short)" as a request by his elder sister, Tomoe Oreki.
There he meets Eru Chitanda, with his friends Satoshi Fukube and Mayaka Ibara joining also. Eru is a calm and beautiful girl but she turns into an embodiment of curiosity once she says, "I can't stop thinking about it(Watashi, Kininarimasu)". Satoshi is Hōtarō's smiling friend with fantastic memory, who never attempts to make any conclusions. Mayaka is a short girl and childhood friend of Hōtarō, strict on everyone, even herself.
They begin to investigate a case that occurred 33 years ago. Hints of the mystery are buried in an old collection of works of the former members of Classics Club. The collection is titled "Hyouka"
