This peaceful fantasy from Takopi, which contrasts sharply with reality, prompted a flood of online reactions such as "That's not how it would go" and "He's so off the mark, lol." However, some viewers also expressed their wishes, saying "This is what we want" and "I wish this could happen..."

The anime "Takopi's Original Sin" is based on the popular manga by Taizan5. When serialization began on "Shonen Jump+" in 2021, it recorded the highest viewership numbers among serialized works at the time, and despite being completed in just 2 volumes, the manga has surpassed 1.45 million copies in circulation. The story unfolds when Takopi, an alien from Planet Happy who came to Earth to spread happiness, meets Shizuka, a girl dealing with problems both at home and at school.
