Machida-kun no Sekai

Machida-kun is a perfect student, brother, and son because he loves people. Helpful when he needs to be, but puts himself down when he feels like a total failure. Yet the people around him are always there as reminders that Machida-kun needs no improvements because they love him just the way he is.
