About the series
A deceptively cute-looking manga from 2023, Takopi’s Original Sin follows an alien named Takopi who arrives on Earth hoping to spread happiness, only to find himself entangled in the tragic lives of two lonely children. Published in English by Viz, this short, emotionally devastating series from creator Taizan 5 subverts its whimsical premise into a raw exploration of childhood trauma and the limits of kindness. Its single, complete volume has made a significant impact for its unflinching storytelling and hauntingly simple art.
