We Never Learn, Vol. 1

by Taishi Tsutsui

Overview

When studious Nariyuki tutors two supergeniuses who are total dunces in their favorite subjects, he’ll get a crash course in love!

Nariyuki Yuiga comes from an impoverished family, so he’s eager to secure a full scholarship to college before he graduates high school. His principal agrees, with one stipulation—he must tutor the two smartest girls at school and make sure they get into their target colleges!

Rizu is a science genius who wants to study liberal arts. Fumino is effortlessly good at literature, but math makes her head spin. Nariyuki is stuck between a rock and a hard place, but who can complain about tutoring a couple of cute girls?

Gr 10 Up—To earn a college scholarship, Yuiga, an intelligent young man, must tutor three fellow high schoolers: a talented athlete, a brilliant science student, and a student gifted in the humanities. All three of his students also happen to be gorgeous young women. This is a classic seraglios harem manga (male-hetero-oriented love triangle story), similar to "High School DxD." The art is well drawn, with easy-to-follow action and identifiable characters. However, while ostensibly feminist (the female characters are overachieving successes in their fields), the narrative is hampered by its obsession with the female characters' bodies. Though there is no explicit sex, two of the girls are drawn almost entirely nude while bathing, there is an overemphasis on breasts (including one girl physically attacking another while shouting about the other's bra size), and there are other similar uncomfortable moments. VERDICT The book fails to treat its female characters with respect, making it a poor choice.—Tammy Ivins, University of North Carolina at Wilmington
