4 by Taishi Tsutsui Bokutachi wa Benkyō ga Dekinai We Never Learn (Bokutachi wa Benkyou ga Dekinai) debuted in Weekly Shōnen Jump issue 2397 on February 6, 2017, as the cover series with color pages. Created by Taishi Tsutsui, the series follows high school student Nariyuki Yuiga, tasked by his school to tutor three girls of genius — each brilliant in one subject but hopeless in another.

With 21 volumes and over 10 million copies sold, it is one of the defining harem romances of the 2010s.
