The 'We Never Learn' meme, primarily featuring the character Fumino Furuhashi from the anime and manga series 'Bokutachi wa Benkyou ga Dekinai', is a multi-panel reaction template that depicts a gradual descent into despair. The meme typically uses a 2x2 grid of Fumino’s face, starting with a bright, optimistic expression and ending with a hollow-eyed, 'dead inside' look. It became a viral sensation within the anime community to illustrate situations where initial confidence is met with overwhelming reality, particularly in the context of difficult school exams, complex plot twists, or unfortunate life events. Its popularity stems from the highly relatable and expressive nature of the character's face, making it the go-to template for depicting situational irony.
