Plot
"Worries, troubles, no matter what, tell us!! We will become your helpers!!"

The manga focuses on the misadventures of the "Campus Support Group" or Sket Dan, of Kaimei High School, a club devoted to solving any and all problems brought to it by the staff or student body for the general improvement of campus life. Due to its general lack of meaningful assignments and unglamorous 'group of handymen' reputation, the organization is treated with widespread contempt and it is composed of only three members.

The series is told through a series of short, self-contained stories focusing on cases undertaken by the Sket Dan, usually told in the space of one to two chapters. Cases to date focus on a variety of issues from more humorous cases like chasing monkeys around the school to more serious cases like dealing with near-terminal illness.

Characters from previous cases also often make cameos in later ones and recurring storylines, such as the Sket Dan's rivalry with the school's student council.
