Is this your first harem show? Just asking as it's pretty much the same as every other harem rom com. Even after 2 episodes I can pretty much tell how it's going to end.


You are giving a lot of credit by saying "every other" meaning 1 out of 2. For me, it's probably 9 out of 10. Could be more actually.

But wait, you meant all of the other ones? Now that would be a stretch. 2 seasons wasn't enough to predict how TWGOK would end let alone 2 episodes. I guess it is also the reason why it is considered the greatest harem romcom of its generation.


I've never actually seen TWOGK I was kind of put off by the fact it was unfinished. The are exceptions of course. High School DxD, Sekirei, Quituplets are all examples of what I would class as good harem shows. I could write a rather long list of others that are exactly the same as this.

I would say she has very little chance given that her character types are always doomed in harem romcoms. But no one's gonna stop you from liking her even if she doesn't win, right? I am up to date with the manga and one thing remained constant throughout the manga that she remained the sweetest to Nariyuki. She has more bittersweet moments with him out of all the heroines, particularly because she has been in love with him for ages.

If its either her or Sensei, I am gonna rate this manga much higher for it giving us something worth remembering as different from the majority of the manga of the same genre out there.

well hopefully,, it doesnt skip more chapter.. but yeah i want the best girl a.k.a sensei get her episode faster too.. lol..

Nariyuki was quite good in the beginning of the manga but you cannot say the same after reading the major part of the manga. His character hit a brick wall pretty soon until the wall starts to show some cracks in the more recent chapters, but still not enough.

He has the nice guy tag on him but that's about it. Compare him with the scheming Fuutarou who is always riding his high horse, or the witty pervert Araragi always trying to take sniffs of the girls or the man amongst men Keima for dedicating his entire being to galge despite of being surrounded by beautiful females, or the great Harima for being the father of the dumb but fun delinquints like Yamada or Kazama later on in the romcom genre. Nariyuki pales in comparison.

Nariyuki is alright as an MC. He has been reduced to just a nice guy with the heart of a woman.

I don't see the appeal of him other than the fact that he is nice to everyone. He doesn't pack any real punch to actually think of him as a worthy MC. The reason is the author failed to build his character based on the initial promise. Tbh it is because of Nariyuki I don't consider the manga worthy of anything above a 7.

Aight, I already enjoy the new girl (both design & personality), it should be the closest to me : studying's tough & not really funny, yuck... But well you gotta do what you gotta do to ensure your future.

And next episode will feature a pinky-haired new girl, that will surely make things more interesting ! At this stage I'm wondering if they know girls can have other hair color than something flashy lol

Sigh, and here I was hoping for Nariyuki showing some affection towards one of them, turns out he was an average melancholic MC with brick heart

Guess it will never happen, huh....

I am going to try to avoid liking Uraka. She is my favorite compared to the other two at the moment but she has childhood friend/first crush syndrome. She wont win so why get my hopes up?

People keep praising Sensei but she seems like kind of a bitch at this point. Because someone is doing a better job then she is.

I'm sure ill get feedback with that post.

Okay. What is with anime and characters that can't swim? What is this trope? Is this a Japanese thing?

It's like not knowing how to tie your shoe laces or ride a bike. It's just something you learn as you're growing up.

Am I just living in a country with a particularly high 'swimming literacy'? Do you guys actually know people that can't swim in real life?


I can't swim either :(

Well, Takemoto's here. She has a likable personality and all but I never liked her design because I find tan lines gross.

Ah, so Ogata can't swim just like Nariyuki. I guess I forgot/can't remember that despite being a manga reader.

And seriously, they skipped 2 chapters? That's a shame but the manga did have filler chapters and the anime is only 1-cour (though it could have multiple seasons), so it's inevitable for some chapters to be skipped instead of adapting every single chapter. But if that's the case, I personally would prefer the anime to mostly adapt chapters that focus on Ogata and Furuhashi.

We Never Learn isn't about the romance in first place but about the career of the characters from college decisions, to getting better in school, to change of job and choice of career and so on. It's a romcom manga but the major part of the characters and the manga is about those, with romance coming later on in that matter.

Nariyuki is also a character with his own motivations and visions and not a generic MC at all. He even has his own chapters and mini arcs about his college choices and his life, along other things.

Anyway, I disagree with the person you quoted and I think that he's up there as one of the best mc on romcom harem due to how he is.

It's pretty solid. I kinda had it more blown up in my mind since I read the manga on Shonen Jump, and really liked it, but I'm definitely not disappointed in the anime adaptation.

Second episode in a row that I'm loving the soundtrack for the more slow, heartwarming scenes. Hope it keeps it up!

So they skipped the chapter in which Ogata and Furuhashi visits Nariyuki's house for the first time.
A "not so good" adaptation I would say. They are skipping some small jokes here and there too which actually made the source material so fun.
Also there's way too many still frames.

Manaka first work had childhood friend win over "obvious" main hetoine. Authors second work had Uruka twin as protagonist. Don't underestimate author love for certain characters!

I am on date with manga too and I think Uruka has very good chance, maybe even best.

You really, really think so? T_T

I feel like she doesn't get the love she deserves. She is the first tan/genki girl I ever rooted for in a harem or love-triangle but why did she have to be this good?

I still feel that her tag of being in love with Nariyuki for all these years will be the sole reason for her not being able to be together with him like those 10,129 other manga.

“Maybe tutoring isn't this bad,” he says at the end of the episode. If tutoring was like this, heck, even I would consider
it you lucking jerk. I really hate that the main character had to follow the traditional dumb naive girl magnet.
I'm sure it's not a coincidence how the new girl has violet hair color, the exact mix between red and blue. She's also the combination of those two other girls. The trio that compliments each other, I like it.

I thought that this episode was good and entertaining with scenes such as when the power went out at Yuiga's house and the girls working together to help Uruka memorize some English words.

Speaking of new girl Uruka, she reminds me of Nagatoro (another series) in that they're both swimmers, are tanned, and even have similar personalities.
