The manga ranked third on Takarajimasha’s Kono Manga ga Sugoi! list of top manga for female readers in 2015.
The wraparound jacket band for the seventh and final volume of Yuki Andō’s The World of Machida-kun manga announced on Friday that the manga will get a film adaptation.
The series was nominated for the Manga Taisho in 2016.
In the manga, Machida is a quiet, awkward, bespectacled boy, whose slightly below-average grades belie his appearance.
