Volume notes:
It's about time Ogata got her own arc and it's one that uses the rest of the cast very well, especially Fumino. 5 stars.

Series review:
"We Never Learn" or #BokuBen is a comedy manga that draws its laughs from the interactions of the main character Yuiga with his harem, I mean, his classmates Fumino, Ogata, and Uruka. He tutors them, with a college scholarship on the line for him. There are also two other supporting characters in the periphery, teacher Kirasu, and recent alum Asumi, w ...more

With Christmas and New Year’s on tap, that means... well, it’s this series so it means sexy Santa outfits and yukatas as far as the eye can see. Fret not, our intrepid author manages to get some swimsuits in there and also time travel happens because why not, at this point?

If there’s one thing I respect about We’ll Never Learn, it’s that I think it has no shame whatsoever about what it is and it knows exactly what it is at the same time. There is no situation that cannot be made more prurient at With Christmas and New Year’s on tap, that means... well, it’s this series so it means sexy Santa outfits and yukatas as far as the eye can see.

If there’s one thing I respect about We’ll Never Learn, it’s that I think it has no shame whatsoever about what it is and it knows exactly what it is at the same time. There is no situation that cannot be made more prurient at a moment’s notice.

Poor Nariyuki gets so many breasts and thighs mashed into his face you’d think he was eating out of a bucket of KFC the whole time. As to whether the book or the bucket is greasier, I leave that to the reader’s interpretation.

Which is why it’s always a pleasant surprise when it nails a tender moment. To whit, Ogata is probably the most boring member of the cast AND is saddled with the worst design - I think her face looks really swollen next to the others.

That said, the multi-part opening story where she finally feels more in touch with people and emotions and then learns she hates herself is a rather good one. The way that Nariyuki and Furuhashi solve this one is terribly sweet and it has a playful ending as well.

The other girls get single stories of varying success - the one with Takemoto cleaning the swimming pool is predictable as all get out and the one with Furuhashi features an adorable demon cat but goes to some places that are a bit out there even for this series.

The Kominami story is the more enjoyable of these three, largely because her constant teasing of Nariyuki gives the story a different flavour that’s very welcome.

Then there’s Kirisu - the other “girl” in the mix. To say that Nariyuki’s teacher is popular is an understatement - they post the most recent character poll (as of when this was published) and she has basically 4x the votes of the person behind her.

This probably explains her story prominence and why she gets the most obvious visible panty line of anybody in the series. And, well, she also has the best story in this book for my money.

The time travel story is absolutely ridiculous, even for this series, but it is up there for most audacious ‘have your cake and eat it too’ moment, where Nariyuki goes back in time and takes a Kirisu who is now one year his junior to an amusement park.

The young Kirisu design in this one is pretty adorable and the whole thing plays out as a bizarre dream (or was it!?) that actually alters the present. It’s got more holes in it than Swiss cheese (try not to think too hard about anything like what happened after Nariyuki vanishes in the past), but it’s a lot of fun and something new, which is nice.

A decidedly okay volume. The first story gives it a bump because it’s got some heart even as it services the hell out of the ending and that time travel one is about as much sheer fun as I’ve seen the series allow itself in a while. It’s a predictable outing and, if you have enjoyed the series until now, well, don’t worry, you’ll be fine here. ...more
