What is Takopi’s Original Sin about?
The anime is based on Taizan 5’s manga series which was serialised in Shueisha’s Shonen Jump+ platform from December 2021 to March 2022, and was collected into two volumes. Viz Media releases the series in English and describes the story as:
Cute little alien Takopi lands on Earth. What is his mission? To be taken to our leader? No. To spread happiness throughout the universe!
The first person Takopi meets is depressed fourth grader Shizuka. (Or is it…?) Takopi is determined to do whatever it takes to make Shizuka smile again. But his misguided attempts to help her by using his advanced technology to turn back time only result in mayhem and death.
What is the truth Takopi can’t remember? And what must the pink alien octopus with a heart of gold sacrifice to truly help Shizuka and her friends…?
