We Never Learn (2019)

[ぼくたちは勉強ができない]

Volume 10

Author/Artist: Taishi Tsutsui
Publisher: Jump Comics

Synopsis:
Yuiga covers for his mom at work again, only now her manager is running a massage parlor.

Story/Characters:
I'm sure you don't have to guess at how Yuiga's time as a masseur goes or who his clients turn out to be. If that wasn't enough, we immediately follow it with a bathhouse chapter (a public bath as opposed to an onsen). Then we have Ogata going to an open campus with Yuiga and Sekijo trying to out-wingman each other. Next we have Yuiga and Ashumi-senpai trapped in the cafe bathroom together. After that, Furuhashi has to play intermediary between Yuiga and Takemoto while keeping the latter's plans to study abroad a secret. Kurisu-sensei confiscates a trashy student-teacher romance manga and sees it play out right in front of her.

All this stuff pales to the latter part of the volume, which is four chapters in a six-part epic about Furuhashi and her father. Furuhashi fighting with her dad over her future intertwines with Yuiga's own uncertain plans for his future. If you're a Yuiga+Furuhashi shipper, this is a heaping serving of meaty goodness.

Art:
The fanservice gets ramped up quite a bit in several of these chapters, almost as if Tsutsui is in withdrawal and having to make up for it. The domestic moments with Yuiga and Furuhashi are really cute. Also, about the only thing to challenge Meido Rizurin is Kappougi Fuminocchi.

Conclusion:
We get more of the usual fare until the Furuhashi arc, which has some of the best character moments in the series so far. Furuhashi fans in particular will want to give this one a read.
