Rokudou continues to be one of the best current running shounen series.

A thought: Go-Toubun no Hanayome is the exact same thing as We Can't Study, but with better art/humor/characters and only somewhat mediocre overall instead of outright bad.

I like We Never Learn quite a lot, after reading the first three chapters of this, I couldn't call them the exact same. The 'poor boy helps multiple girls study' angle is surprisingly close, but that's as far as it goes. That said it is funny and the art is really pretty so thanks for mentioning it here!

Mostly true, but the retards in We Can't Study are cuter than the sameface sisters.

I think Miku (Headphones Sengoku Nerd) and Yotsuba ("eeeeh" Ribbon girl from Nichijou) are very cute.

I started reading this out of curiosity, reached the end of volume 2 (chapter 14) and OF loving COURSE the protagonist and the five girls knew each other from years before but they don't realise it yet, can't do without that shonen romance trope no siree.

I think We Never Learn is better than The World Only God Knows because the former at least has funny jokes.

It owns, but it's 10% romance at best, which is understandable, since it has never really been a harem and the main love interest is basically Terminator.

Okay, that sounds amazing. Guess I have some stuff to catch up on. And I'm really in the mood for a mecha or powered armor series, so this is probably perfect.

Yeah, I mean, I suppose~, but like I've always felt that his work was, like, right on the border between shounen and seinen. It sure has the hot blood and themes of friendship and saving the world and so on down pat.

Can you even imagine a spirit circle anime? The scenario changes would be episode to episode whiplash. Not that I wouldn't want that. :v:

I could swear that some scenes in Mizukami manga are written with an anime adaptation in mind. Like for example in The Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer, the final chapter, when Yuuhi asks Samidare "So, how do you feel?" and Samidare gives a V sign and says "Invincible!" is the exact moment where in an anime the first opening theme would start playing and the credit rolling over the final part of the final episode.
