Story: [10/10]
Every chapter there is a hidden lesson. If you are able to spot the lesson Machida teaches us, it makes you feel silly. Machida shows how simple it is to be a kind person. He reminds me how beautiful the world is, or can be when you look at it in a different lens. Machida's world is a heartwarming story that I would recommend to anyone who is having a bad day.

Art: [9/10]
The art matched the story perfectly. I'm not exactly an art expert, but the monologue that Machida would have and the drawings that go together with his thoughts was cleverly woven in, making the story much easier and enjoyable to read. While the art work itself isn't ground-breaking or awe-strucking, it definitely suits the story!

Character: [10/10]
I love Machida. He doesn't have this sad, edgy backstory to him that would make you empathize with him. In fact, I would say you would feel a bit envious of him! What really drives his characterization for me is his interactions with the people around him. Every interaction is impactful and meaningful, and I definitely did tear up in some scenes!

Enjoyment: [10/10]
I enjoyed this manga thoroughly. It definitely did not drag and I can't help wanting more chapters, I know that I would be entertained to no ends!

Overall: [10/10]
Machida-kun no Sekai was a fantastic read from start to finish. As the title suggests, the story was about Machida's life. The interactions between Machida and the people around him is a reminder that the world is not always as cold as it seems. Machida shows us, the readers, what it means to care for someone: be it a stranger or a family member.

Machida doesn't ask for anything in return, he simply does it because he can. His time spent with the people he meets and loves is the gift he receives and I think he knows that himself.

Machida may not be the smartest in the book, he may not be the most athletic, but he has something that not everyone has -- and that's what makes this a memorable story.
