The popular manga series "Takopi no Genzai" by Taizan 5 is being adapted into an anime. To mark the announcement, a teaser visual and a promo video have been released.
The story follows Takopi, a "Happy Alien" who travels through the universe to spread happiness. On Earth, he meets Shizuka-chan, a quiet and sad girl. Takopi, as Shizuka calls him, tries to put a smile on her face with his mysterious "Happy Gadgets." However, all his efforts fail. The plot intensifies when Shizuka, hurt and desperate, asks Takopi for help. To support her, he breaks the rules and lends her one of his gadgets—with serious consequences.
