Billy Bottom the Little God
by Jun Okada
Billy Bottom is the name of a little man with wings, who appears before the children in Hajime's class. The strange thing is that the boy or girl he appears before always gets the lowest marks that day. A story which says that there is more to life than being top of the class.
