We Never Learn (Japanese: ぼくたちは勉強ができない, Hepburn: Bokutachi wa Benkyō ga Dekinai, lit. "We Can't Study"), also known as BokuBen (ぼく勉), is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Taishi Tsutsui. The series follows the story of Nariyuki Yuiga, a high school student tasked with tutoring three female geniuses as they start to gradually develop romantic feelings for him. It was serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine from February 2017 to December 2020, with its individual chapters collected and published by Shueisha in twenty-one tankōbon volumes.

An anime television series adaptation produced by Studio Silver and Arvo Animation aired from April to June 2019. A second season aired from October to December of the same year. The manga also spawned two light novel spin-offs released in 2019.
