Takopis original sin or Takopii no Genzai a manga described as too Much Dark and too cute for a being a shounen manga Its a manga with bullying as its main theme bullying which is tolerated in japan to the point of being encouraged A manga called to be too similar to Doraemon and Oyasumi Punpun which are totally different from each other and yet there ideas seem to blend too well together in the manga The mix of reality and fiction is done in a really impactful way in the manga the line between realism and fiction is really thin a way not really seen in any manga A piece which feels to not be enjoyed by a lot but would honestly be loved by those who stay with it The first chapter of this had me unsettled for a quite a bit but also very intrigued for the future of the manga and the story In the first chapter we meet the happiest alien who comes from the Happy planet in the entire universe whose lifes purpose is to spread happiness and after he reaches Earth and meets a depressed called called shizuka who has no one other than her dog as a source of happiness he attempts his all to cheer her up. But it aint easy to cheer up the tormented girl Shizuka who is badly mistreated by bullies at school. Even Though he tries his best he cant really do anything for her and his act of even giving her a tool to seemingly help her results in a tragedy. The tragedy which was partially overshadowed but it happening was still not very expected. The brilliance of this work is how fear and tragedy gets hidden in it. U cant really say if that was sad or tragic like as if a tear just forms but never really falls The end of the chapter 1 really reminded me of the chapter 139 of Oyasumi Punpun a chapter which really breaks a person but unlike oyasumi punpun the existence of takopii the cute alien who doesnt have a speck of negativity and is full of optimism still make you hold on and not really get depressed by the way story goes on. takopiis lack of understanding of human emotions and experiences really makes it a unique way to see the situation as the story is also meant to be seen from his point of view about he sees the situation how he interprets it and how he develops feelings in the situations is something we can look forward to see The Art of great it can be called messy but the way it blends with background is dangerously great and overall pacing of the story is great too It is still too early to give an overall score but its 8.0+ for now for me. If u loved oyasumi punpun u will highly likely love this too if u liked doraemon then......... u might like it too? There is a saying BROKEN CANT BE FIXED and I do Hope this statement becomes false as the story progresses and eventually ends
