Transliteration: "Kōshite Karera no Machigatta Seishun ga Hajimaru." (Japanese: こうして彼らのまちがった青春が始まる。)		Ai YoshimuraDouko MachidaApril 5, 2013 (2013-04-05) [13]
Pragmatic loner Hachiman Hikigaya writes an essay describing his view on the lives of contemporary teenagers which displeases his language teacher, Shizuka Hiratsuka. As punishment, she forces Hachiman to join the Soubu High School Service Club and requests that its sole member—Yukino Yukinoshita—try to remedy his broken social skills. This immediately results in a clash between both students and Shizuka proposes that they contest their ideals by helping people sent to the club. The next day, Hachiman learns that Yukino was paradoxically made an outcast because of her beauty and relates to her differential way of thinking. Afterwards, Yui Yuigahama requests that the Service Club help her bake cookies for a friend and Yukino fails teaching her the basics of cooking. Hachiman tries an alternative approach and uses psychology to get Yui to realize that the sheer act of doing something for another person means more than how the act turns out. The next week, Yukino and Hachiman discuss Yui's request with respect to the ultimate goal of personal improvement, versus the rewards of working towards said improvement despite risking failure in doing so. Afterwards, Yui shows up at the club and thanks both Hachiman and Yukino with homemade cookies she made herself.

Transliteration: "Kitto, Dareshimo Hitoshi Nami ni Nayami o Kakaeteiru." (Japanese: きっと、誰しも等し並みに悩みを抱えている。)		Koji AritomiDouko MachidaApril 12, 2013 (2013-04-12) [13]
Shizuka once again reproves Hachiman for basing his Biology report on his dissatisfaction with the dominance hierarchy established by social groups. Later that day, Yumiko Miura pressures Yui for a straight excuse when she tries to break away from their social group to have lunch with Yukino. Yukino then shows up and demands an explanation for Yui's tardiness but ends up forgiving her. However Yumiko makes an outburst when Yui focuses her attention on Yukino, prompting the latter to call Yumiko out on her self-centeredness. The tense atmosphere then drives the other students out and Yui uses the opportunity to explain that meeting Hachiman and Yukino helped her realize that she can be her own person and not force herself to do what others want from her, which Yumiko accepts. The following afternoon, a delusional teen named Yoshiteru Zaimokuza shows up at the Service Club. After the group beats around the bush to dissect his ostentatious personality, Yoshiteru asks that they help review a light novel he wrote. Hachiman and Yukino then stay up all night reading his novel and present their critiques the next day which turn out less than positive. Despite the Service Club's brutal honesty, Yoshiteru sincerely accepts their words and promises to have them review his next literary work.
