The plot of the story revolves around Nariyuki Yuiga, a high school student from a poor family who is striving hard to secure a scholarship to attend college. He is approached by his teacher, Ms. Mafuyu Kirisu, who recognizes his academic prowess and requests him to tutor her two failing students, Rizu Ogata and Fumino Furuhashi, to ensure that they pass their exams and can pursue their desired careers. Rizu is an expert in mathematics and science, but struggles with literature and art, while Fumino excels in literature and art, but struggles with mathematics and science. To make matters more complicated, Nariyuki discovers that each girl wants to pursue a career that is opposite to their strengths, and he decides to help them realize their true potential. In the process, Nariyuki becomes romantically entangled with both girls, leading to a love triangle that forms the basis of the series.

The anime has a light-hearted and humorous tone that captures the essence of teenage life, while also delivering some heart-warming moments. The main characters are well-developed and their individual struggles and quirks make them relatable to the audience.

The overall aesthetic of the anime is pleasing to the eye, with a focus on bright colors and playful character interactions.

The opening and closing themes are catchy and memorable, and the voice acting is well done by the main cast, adding to the charm of the series.

One of the strengths of We Never Learn - BOKUBEN is its ability to balance humor and character development seamlessly.
