We Never Learn, Vol. 12: The Ice Flower Dances with [X] at Twilight

When studious Nariyuki tutors two supergeniuses who are total dunces in their favorite subjects, he’ll get a crash course in love!

She has always been dismissive of what she considers hopeless dreams that hinder academic progress, but after meeting Yuiga, she’s slowly changing the way she thinks.

What stymied her own childhood hopes and aspirations?
