History Manga / WeNeverLearn

** In the anime at least, the second season's ending implies that it's [[spoiler:Uruka.]]

-->'''[[spoiler:ROUTE: 1/5]]\\

* CompressedAdaptation: The [[AnimatedAdaptation Anime Adaptation]] ultimately adapts about half of the manga's content before jumping ahead to a timeskip ending. While the ending is open-ended, it does leave the implication that [[spoiler:Uruka was the "victor"]].

* CosplayCafe: Chapter 31 has Nariyuki go to one named “High Stage”, and he discovers that his alumnus sempai Asumi works there as a maid waitress. In chapter 34, Mafuyu ends up working there as payment for inconveniencing the staff, coming off as a clumsy maid herself. In chapter 75, Rizu also took part in order to get a rare board game. In chapter 96, Uruka and Fumino were put to work there when they get mistaken for two temporary maids that were to work there the same day the formers were following Nariyuki worried that he was dating someone.

* CripplingOverspecialization: Rizu and Fumino’s starting positions. Each is a genius in their respective specialties, but hopeless at the very subjects which they each wish to pursue instead.

* HypnoPendulum: In chapter 91, Rizu uses one on Nariyuki to show one of the psychology techniques she is studying about but doesn't believe it will work… until it does.
* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: All the chapters/episodes consist of a pretty long phrase with an [x] in it (like the algebraic variable in an equation). Most of them will also use the word “genius” in the title, though ones that focus on Kirisu or Asumi might use “predecessor” instead.

* InternalReveal: After the girls discuss Chapter 143’s cliffhanger, [[spoiler:Uruka and Rizu are finally aware that the both of them and Fumino are all in love with Nariyuki, and that Fumino has been their SecretSecretKeeper for a while]].

* TestKiss: Played for laughs. [[spoiler:Since Nariyuki has kissed Rizu twice, she has developed the penchant of offering him to kiss if he needs practice, albeit this being Rizu, she offers it more out of curiosity rather than from desire or lust (though it's implied that she's begun liking it). Nariyuki thus far has told her no, but if she keeps insisting…]]

* TheUnreveal: Before the Cultural Festival starts, Nariyuki notes that the "jinx" about ending up with the person you're touching while the fireworks start turns out to be real. When the time comes, [[spoiler:he ends up falling in a pile with Uruka, Fumino, Rizu, Asumi, and Mafuyu, but the fireworks fail to go off. They start for real just as one of the aforementioned five is taking Nariyuki’s hand to help him up, but a shadow hides which girl it is]].

* WithAFriendAndAStranger: The initial tutoring group has this dynamic, with Nariyuki as the protagonist, Uruka as the friend, and Fumino and Rizu as the strangers. Unusually for this trope, Uruka is actually introduced a few chapters ''after'' Fumino and Rizu as the third student Nariyuki is made to tutor.

* AlmostKiss: Rizu wants to try Kissing Nariyuki for real after researching it a little bit, so she takes the initiative and goes in. She chickens out at the last second.
* BabysittingEpisode: In chapter 93, Mafuyu is taking care of her baby cousin Natsume for her aunt while her sister and parents are overseas in America. At the start of the chapter, Mafuyu was a BadlyBatteredBabysitter noting how harder it was than she thought. She goes to a bookstore to buy books to help her and coincidentally runs into Nariyuki while carrying Natsume and drags him to help her.

** Nariyuki is the object of this from his younger sister, Mizuki, (which borders on BigBrotherAttraction at times), like [[https://i.imgur.com/tH3oigI.png when she attempts to "seduce" Nariyuki through exposing herself.]]

* ThreeDEffectsTwoDCartoon: Mafuyu's car in the anime is very obvious CGI. Made more jarring when her and Nariyuki are inside it as the interior, barring a closeup of the gear shift, is also rendered in CG.

''We Never Learn'' ([ぼくたちは勉強ができない, ''Bokutachi wa Benkyou ga Dekinai'', or ''Bokuben'' for short) is an ongoing 2017 romantic comedy manga written and illustrated by Taishi Tsutsui. It is currently being serialized in ''[[Magazine/ShonenJump Weekly Shonen Jump]]''. While it ''can'' be pretty fanservice-y, most chapters revolve around the cute antics between the girls and Nariyuki and the series is certainly more wholesome than [[Manga/YuunaAndTheHauntedHotSprings the other harem romcom]] it runs alongside to in the Jump.

* BizarroEpisode: Chapter 119 throws the story's realism out of the window by having Yuiga travelling back in time after Mafuyu crashes into him, with her breasts pressing against his face. Somehow, he ended up when Mafuyu was still a high school student and they go on a date at an amusement park. After returning to the present the sane way, he believes that it was all a dream until he noticed a photo of them at the roller coaster, with Nariyuki's face conveniently out of frame. Not even Mafuyu remembers who was her date back then.

* IHaveThisFriend: Parodied in Chapter 35, where Uruka and Nariyuki make paper-thin complaints about the awkwardness of their relationship to Fumino.

* JackOfAllStats: Nariyuki is a pretty decent student, scoring above 80 percent in all of his subjects. However, he is far outshined by Ogata and Furuhashi when it comes to their respective specialties.

* TestKiss: Played for laughs. [[spoiler:Since Nariyuki has kissed Rizu twice, she has developed the penchant of offering him to kiss if he needs practice, albeit this being Rizu, she offers it more out of curiosity rather than from desire or lust (though it's implied that she's begun liking it).

* HappyEndingMassage: In chapter 79, Nariyki got dragged into helping at the massage parlor and gets to massage all of his female acquaintances and made most of them feel good.

* FireBreathingDiner: At the end of chapter 130, Nariyuki and Mafuyu become this after consuming curry from a recipe that Fumino provided, which includes ''Carolina Reaper peppers''. As Fumino can tolerate extremely spicy food, she thought the recipe was "pretty normal".

* FalseStart: In episode 8 Nariyuki starts getting DistractedByTheSexy when Uraka is around him. He also overhears her friends suggesting that she likes him, and later in the episode accidentally asks her that. She laughs it off, suggesting that she was interested in someone else. TheStinger after the credits reveals that feels bad about lying to him, but is also afraid if he rejected her LoveConfession, it would destroy the relationship they currently have, so tries to reason that for now this was for the best.

Nariyuki Yuiga is one of the brightest twelfth-graders at Ichinose Academy. Having come from an impoverished family, he strives to achieve the school's "Special VIP Recommendation" scholarship that will fully cover his college tuition and thus make a living for his widowed mother and his three younger siblings.

He eventually gains the recommendation, albeit under the condition that tutor the two brightest girls of his batch, Rizu Ogata and Fumino Furuhashi, and help them qualify for their college degree of choice. On paper that sounds easy, given that they outshine Nariyuki in their respective strong suits. In practice, that was easier said than done, given that Rizu, a prodigy in mathematics and science, wants to pursue psychology, and Fumino, an expert at the arts and literature, would rather be an astronomer, despite being hopelessly weak in either literature and math, respectively.

Now Nariyuki has his hands full with trying to achieve his dreams, as well as guiding Rizu and Fumino, as well as his childhood friend Uruka Takemoto, Ichinose's top swimmer who sorely needs to improve on all her grades (especially English) to earn an athletics scholarship. Joining along for the ride is their college-age upperclassman Asumi Kominaki, who needed good grades in science to be able to enter a medical school and thus be able to help at her family-run clinic, and Mafuyu Kirisu, Rizu and Fumino's stern former tutor.

Received an anime adaptation by Studio Silver and Arvo Animation in 2019, with the first season airing in winter and the second airing in fall.

Nariyuki Yuiga is one of the brighest twelfth-graders at Ichinose Academy. Having come from an impoverished family, he strives to achieve the school's "Special VIP Recommendation" scholarship that will fully cover his college tuition.

He eventually gains the recommendation, albeit under one condition: tutor the two brightest girls of his batch, math prodigy Rizu Ogata and literature genius Fumino Furuhashi. On paper that sounds easy, considering they outshine Nariyuki in their best subjects; in practice, it's easier said than done, considering each girl truly wanted to master the other girl's top subject despite being cripplingly weak on those. Now Nariyuki will had his hands full with achieving his dream while at the same time helping the girls achieve theirs, with the addition of his childhood friend Uruka Takemoto, the school's top swimmer who's good at PE and not much else, and college-age upperclassman Asumi Kominami, who held off entering college until she earns good enough grades to enter medical school and thus help at her family-run clinic despite her poor grades in science, all under the stern, watchful eye of Mafuyu Kirisu, Rizu and Fumino's former tutor.

Nariyuki Yuiga considers himself a prodigy. And ordinarily, he would be...if he wasn't outshined by the top two students in the grade, Rizu Ogata and Fumino Furuhashi. Whether it be Math and Science or Literature, he simply can't compete with them when it comes to their specialties.

Despite these setbacks, Nariyuki is determined to earn his school's "Special VIP Recommendation" to support his family. But in order to get this recommendation approved by the school, there is one condition: he has to tutor those same two geniuses. The only problem: they want to pursue subjects that are the exact opposite of their specialty and are hopelessly weak on.

''We Never Learn'' ([=AKA=] ''We Can't Study'', ''Bokutachi wa Benkyou ga Dekinai'', or ''Bokuben'' for short) is an ongoing 2017 romantic comedy manga by Taishi Tsutsui.

* TeamNormal: Nariyuki is the one who started off with no innate talent or specialization, but became a JackOfAllStats through hard work. This is what makes him such a great tutor for the girls, as he knows how to build an understanding of a subject from the ground up.

An anime adaptation by Studio Silver and Arvo Animation has been announced for the Spring 2019 season.
