The show revolves around a high school freshman named Yuta Togashi, who is recovering from the condition of chunibyo, which is a syndrome that makes people believe they have supernatural powers. He was once an avid believer in the supernatural and had a chunibyo phase which he called the "Dark Flame Master." However, upon entering high school, he decided to leave this phase behind him and start a new life. He hoped to live a normal life, but he was met with unforeseen challenges.

At his new school, he meets a girl named Rikka Takanashi who also suffers from the same condition, chunibyo, but to a more extreme degree than he did. She is a self-proclaimed wielder of the "Wicked Eye," which her supernatural powers come from. Yuta shows disdain towards Rikka's behavior, viewing it as childish, however, he eventually becomes entangled with her and her chunibyo antics.

As the show progresses, Yuta becomes aware of Rikka's family situation and the reasons behind the development of her condition. Despite attempting to distance himself from Rikka in the beginning, Yuta begins to appreciate her love for the supernatural and eventually becomes to understand where she comes from. Along the way, Rikka helps Yuta reconcile his own chunibyo past, including his former girlfriend, and finds out she has a mysterious connection to Yuta's past as well.
