Takopi und die Sache mit dem Glück

In this concise, two-issue German-language series from Carlsen Comics, published 2023–2024, a strange, childlike alien named Takopi crash-lands on Earth and becomes entangled with a lonely, depressed girl. The story explores heavy themes of happiness, trauma, and human connection through a deceptively simple, manga-influenced art style. Written and drawn by Taizan5, this is a poignant, emotionally raw tale that resonated widely for its unflinching look at childhood despair.
