Tacopi, who came down to Earth to spread happiness, meets a human girl named Shizuka.

It seems that the reason for this is related to her school friends and complicated circumstances at home...
The original work was serialized in "Shonen Jump +" from December 2021 to March 2022, and despite being a short series, it recorded the highest number of views among works serialized at the same time. The story is about Tacopi, a Happy Alien who comes to Earth and meets Shizuka Kuze, a girl who never smiles, and uses the Happy Gadgets with mysterious powers to bring back Shizuka's smile... It also became a hot topic for depicting the cruel reality of elementary school students, such as problems at school and at home, and although the comic is only two volumes in total, the total number of copies published has exceeded 1.45 million, making it a very popular work.
