Takopi’s Original Sin is based on a manga written and illustrated by Taizan 5 (Hero Complex, The Ichinose Family’s Deadly Sins). The manga was serialized on the Shounen Jump+ platform from 2021 to 2022. It has a total of 16 chapters, compiled into 2 volumes. Despite only having two volumes, the manga has exceeded 1.4 million copies in circulation.
VIZ Media licensed the manga in English and describes the plot:
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…?
