Synopsis of Takopi's Original Sin
A squid-like creature known as Happian leaves his home
planet with a desire to spread happiness across the universe. He lands on
Earth, but is quickly put in danger by its inhabitants. Fortunately, he is
found by a 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. However, this is easier said than done.
Shizuka is bullied by her classmates, has no father,
and her mother is never home, but the severity of these problems is still very
much in the mind of naive Takopii. Still, Shizuka has one source of happiness:
her dog Chappy. The connection Shizuka and Chappy share only increases
Takopii's desire to make the girl smile. Though Takopii's attempts to cheer
Shizuka up lead to unforeseen consequences, he is determined to take matters
into his own hands, test his understanding of humans, and achieve his goal of
spreading happiness.
