There is a floating city named Musashi that is composed of eight ships in the skies. A war that will determine the fate of the world will be fought by students on the Musashi. In the far future, humans abandon the devastated Earth and move to the upper world "Tenjou." But Tenjou and the law of causation collapse due to a war and humans are forced to return to the Earth, which has turned into an inhabitable planet except for Shinshuu area in the Far East. Shinshuu is too small to accommodate all the humans, so they duplicate the area and create "Juusou Sekai" in a parallel world. In order to rebuild Tenjou and the law of causation, the returned humans start reproduction of the history from B.C. 10,000. When the reproduction proceeds to A.D. 1413, a war breaks out in Shinshuu and Juusou Sekai falls onto the original world. The humans living in Juusou Sekai lose their land and invade the original world. People in Shinshuu surrender and the land is divided by the invaders from Juusou Sekai. They try to resume the history reproduction from A.D.1457, but the update of the history terminates in A.D.1648. A rumor of apocalypse begins to spread the world.

Hachiman Hikigaya, a student in Soubu High School, is a cynical loner due to his traumatic past experiences in his social life. This eventually led to him developing a set of "dead fish eyes" and a twisted personality similar to that of a petty criminal. Believing that the concept of youth is a lie made up by youngsters who face their failures in denial, he turns in an essay that criticizes this exact mentality of youths. Irritated by the submission, his homeroom teacher, Shizuka Hiratsuka, forces him to join the Volunteer Service Club—a club that assists students to solve their problems in life, hoping that helping other people would change his personality. However, Yukino Yukinoshita, the most beautiful girl in school, is surprisingly the sole member of the club and a loner, albeit colder and smarter than Hikigaya. Their club soon expands when Yui Yuigahama joins them after being helped with her plight, and they begin to accept more requests. With his status quo as a recluse, Hikigaya attempts to solve problems in his own way, but his methods may prove to be a double-edged sword. [Written by MAL Rewrite]
