We Never Learn: BOKUBEN

This anime series in centred on Yuiga Nariyuki, a high school student who needs to tutor three girls if he is to qualify for a university scholarship. The girls are each very successful in one area but for one reason or another wish to concentrate on the subjects they are weakest at when they go to university; against the advice of their teachers. Luckily they are all hard working. Inevitably over the course of the series romantic feelings develop.

As this was released the season after the not dissimilar 'The Quintessential Quintuplets' I thought they might be too similar for this to stand out; thankfully it is different enough. The characters are all likeable and even though it is clear from very early on that it will be a harem show it doesn't become too 'ecchi'. The characters are all likeable with distinctive designs and the animation is solid. The story involves the sort of escapades on expects in such series which means when it is over it may be forgotten in the crowd of other series but while watching it is a lot of fun so overall I'd definitely recommend it to fans of the genre.

The final episode doesn't wrap up the story but promised 'To be continued'. According the Wikipedia the second season will start in October; I'll be looking forward to it.
