Known as Takopi no Genzai in Japan, the Takopi's Original Sin manga follows a happy little octopus-looking alien called Nnu-Anu-Kf who crash lands on Earth and comes across a 9-year-old girl called Shizuka who is bullied relentlessly. After naming the little alien Takopi, all seems well for Shizuka, until her pet dog gets taken away by animal control and Shizuka dies by suicide. With his new friend gone, Takopi travels back in time to save Shizuka's life.

Takopi's Original Sin consists of two volumes which have sold over 1.4 million copies in circulation combined. The manga was serialized in Shonen Jump Plus from December 2021 to March 2022 but is also available in English via VIZ Media and Shueisha's Manga Plus service.
