Hello everyone, this is Saori from Otaku Republic!

If you're reading this article...... that must mean you're also curious about *Takopii no Genzai (Takopi's Original Sin)*. Why is this anime attracting so much attention while also being called terrifying? Let's dive into the reasons!
One of the most talked-about and eye-catching titles in the 2025 summer anime lineup—*Takopii no Genzai (Takopi's Original Sin)*—a show that makes you uneasy but impossible to stop watching.

First off, please understand that this anime portrays extremely shocking content. The fact that such a warning is needed at the beginning is telling—some viewers may find it highly distressing. But it’s precisely because it portrays such realities with raw honesty that *Takopi* draws so much attention.
Takopi, an alien who came to Earth to spread happiness, encounters Shizuka
—a girl suffering from severe bullying at her rural school.

{To put it simply, Takopi is an alien who came to Earth to spread happiness. He meets Shizuka, a girl facing bullying due to her broken home and friendships. Though Takopi sincerely tries to help her with gadgets he brought from his world, his inability to understand human emotions leads to unintentional harm—only making things worse for Shizuka, ultimately triggering...... the worst possible outcome.

“After Shizuka ultimately chooses to end her life, Takopi decides to rewind time to try and change the outcome. He returns to a point when Shizuka is still alive, determined this time to bring about a truly 'happy ending'...... but things are not so simple.”
The anime actually only has 6 episodes!
And the manga is just 2 volumes
—quick to read, which somehow makes it even more terrifying......!

The *Takopi no Genzai* manga is only two volumes—just an upper and lower volume! That’s why the anime adaptation is only 6 episodes long. It’s heading toward the climax faster than any other summer anime! In fact, I wrote this article to alert people who don’t realize that it’s already reaching its emotional peak. Will the characters find happiness? Please, let them find happiness! It’s a tough watch, but for some, this story may not be fiction at all. There’s still time—please give it a look!
