"Takopi's Original Sin" is Taizan5's debut serialization work, serialized in "Shonen Jump +" from December 2021 to March 2022.

The story is about Tacopi, a Happy Alien who comes to Earth and meets Shizuka, a girl who never smiles, and uses his Happy Gadgets, which have mysterious powers, to bring back Shizuka's smile. The story also became a hot topic for depicting the cruel reality of elementary school students, such as bullying and problems with parents, and was ranked third in the "This Kono Manga ga Sugoi! 2023" Men's Edition. Although the comic is only two volumes in total, the total number of copies published has exceeded 1.4 million.

The anime will be directed by Shinya Iino and produced by ENISHIYA.
