Synopsis

A squid-like creature, known as a Happian, leaves his home planet with the desire to spread happiness across the universe. He lands on Earth, but quickly finds himself in danger of captivity by its inhabitants. Fortunately, he is found by an unsmiling little girl named Shizuka Kuze, who feeds him and names him Takopii. Feeling indebted, Takopii decides to do everything in his power to bring a smile to her face.

The task is easier said than done, however. Shizuka is bullied by her classmates, she does not have a father, and her mother is never home—though the gravity of these issues flies over the naive Takopii's head. Even so, Shizuka does have one source of happiness: her dog Chappy. The connection Shizuka and Chappy share only increases Takopii's desire to make the girl smile.

While Takopii's attempts to lift Shizuka's spirits lead to unintended consequences, he is determined to take things into his own tentacles, test his understanding of human beings, and achieve his goal of spreading happiness.

I really randomly found this manga and it definitely was a memorable one.
On the surface it looks really simple and short having only 16 chapters but it actually has a multi layered and complex story involving abuse, bullying and death.
I will definitely say that when I started reading this, I had thought that things will turn out the usual way but I was pleasantly surprised when it actually exceeded my expectations. Any work involving time travel has the chance to be either a hit or miss and it's really easy to mess it up but Takopi's Original sin is one which perfectly concludes its own ...

Mixed Feelings
Another bullying and abusing manga that reveals the true nature of humans when they get pushed to the edge , the story at some point didn't make any sense but after few chapters we got it and honestly I've no clue why the author tried to complicate it like that , well his plot twist didn't impact me that much for like I said we didn't get what's going on however this manga gives me mixed feelings like I hated all characters and I felt bad for em at same time , I guess the story not recommended to everyone it's a bit dark so ...

Meh. The main plot of this story starts with technology from a race so advanced that they see time travel as trivial being destroyed by liquid. I say in reviews often that having a perfect story is bare minimum. Aside from that it's an okay manga. It's sad? The ending will make your heart go fuwafuwa. It's similar to "In the Gardens of Gehenna" where the plot essentially revolves around children from broken homes trying to coexist and failing to. Aside from that, the chemistry between the characters is just okay, I guess? Tragic manga try more to pull on your heart strings and make ...
