Was honestly expecting Lamech as the (Number 1) supporting character to be the big change from the pilot.

Would still have expected him to Kamina but not this quick.

Random We Never Learn thought: Asumi is the girl most similar in character to how Nariyuki was presented at the start of the manga. He's really mellowed out a lot since then

Many (Most?) harem manga/shows usually present a specific girl as the one the reader/viewer thinks is 'destined' to wind up with the main character, We Never Learn has done a good job of presenting it in a way that makes it feel like I don't have a clue how it'll end up. All the girls (Sans teacher) feel like they've got a strong enough bond with the MC that you can't tell which way the wind will end up blowing.

Though it'll probably end completely unresolved like most seem to.

A city that was to live by night after the wilderness had passed. A city that was to forge out of steel and blood-red neon its own peculiar wilderness.
It's totally Uruka, the Childhood friend.

Like it's not even moderately hidden, how that is likely going to be the endgame(if it gets an ending). Uruka's solo situations with Nariyuki are all based around how much she likes him, not just awkward situations they find themselves in as with what happens with the other female protags, but out right about how much she loves him.


Just like it was obvious from her arc that the endgame of Keima in "A World God Only Knows" was gonna be Chihiro

I'd agree if not for Rizu. All the other girls feel like there isn't a shot but there's been so much development between Rizu and Nariyuki that I feel like the author might be trying to fake us out with Uruka.

Harem end is the only good end, because these people are clearly too stupid to function outside their group.

I've never thought Uruka would be the one. Usually "childhood friend who has obviously had a crush on the MC for years" doesn't tend to win these things unless it's either a romcom with only one or two love interests (i.e. not a harem thing) or a situation where they're a childhood friend who has been gone for years and only recently returned.

Also, aesthetically speaking the tan/athletic-type characters rarely win these things. That's why I initially assumed Furuhashi would win (she has the aesthetics most typical to someone who "wins" harems), but her personality and later involvement made me lean more towards Rizu, who technically got the first kiss. That being said, the author has been unpredictable enough that I'm willing to give Uruka a non-zero chance, whereas I normally wouldn't even consider the possibility.

Regardless, I would bet a small but not trivial amount of money (like maybe 10 bucks) on the winner being either Furuhashi or Rizu. Asumi and the teacher definitely don't stand a chance, regardless. I'm actually leaning a bit towards Furuhashi right now, since Furuhashi has more of a potential "arc" in terms of realizing her feelings for the protagonist, putting her own feelings above that of her friends, etc.

I never read\watch Harem stuff because this is usually the case. This time feels like I might be happily surprised.

Rizu is gonna be the winner drat it. You can't convince me otherwise.

Talking about harems, I really like Rokudou no Onna-tachi. Starts like a normal harem about some weakling getting a super power that makes bad girls fall for him, then turns around to a badass story where the MC realizes his magical gimmick is just a crouch in the happiness of the people around him and does everything he can to make people immune to that power. Seems like a parody of the genre at some points, it's pretty good.

We Never Learn pulled me in with the hopes it'd be about idiots trying to teach other idiots how not to be idiots and then it turned into a harem and now I can't get out.

It'd be cool if the main girl had any personality at all and wasn't completely overshadowed by the triplet girl who showed up recently

It's still that in a way, except Rizu and Uruka aren't teaching anyone. Fumino is trying to teach them not to be love-idiots, while ignoring that she herself is a love-idiot.

Speaking of We Never Learn, I picked up one of the volumes in Japan that came with the bookmarks (Team Furuhashi) and it has "We Never Learn" printed in English on it. Take that, scanlators!

Agreed. The game is still hard to follow, but it seems like it's getting slightly better?
