Hyouka – A mystery anime about a high school boy with a laid-back personality who gets involved in solving everyday mysteries with his curious friends, unraveling the secrets hidden in their school.
Eru Chitanda is the main female protagonist in *Hyouka*, known for her curious, polite, and gentle demeanor. She is a member of the Classics Club and often drives the plot forward with her insatiable curiosity. Whenever something piques her interest, she uses her signature phrase, "I'm curious," which compels her friends, particularly Oreki, to help solve mysteries. Despite her soft-spoken nature, Chitanda is determined and persistent when it comes to uncovering the truth. Her inquisitive nature is balanced by her genuine care for her friends, making her a warm and endearing character.
Mayaka Ibara is another member of the Classics Club and is portrayed as diligent, strong-willed, and sometimes critical of others, especially Oreki’s laziness. She is passionate about manga and even participates in her school’s manga club. Though she has a tough exterior, Mayaka is deeply caring and loyal to her friends. Her relationship with Satoshi is complicated, as she has feelings for him, but struggles with his lack of reciprocation. Mayaka's attention to detail and strong work ethic make her a key member of the group, particularly when it comes to solving mysteries or helping with club activities.
