(Content Warning: this is a manga dealing with heavy topics such as child abuse, bullying, and suicide(including a depicted suicide early on). It's a compelling story and does not handle these tactlessly, so just a heads-up for any who need it.)  Takopi's Original Sin (Official English) is currently running in Shounen Jump+ and as of today also runs in Manga Plus for English readers. It's a manga about the octopus-looking Takopi, an alien from a planet where everyone is happy and technology is indistinguishable from magic:  Along its journey Takopi meets a troubled young girl named Shizuka on Earth in the year 2016. Seeking to bring her happiness, Takopi follows her to home and school to uncover the source of her somber expressions.   The story that unveils is an exploration of human darkness that shakes the utopia-bred Takopi. But our protagonist refuses to give up.  Can Takopi find happiness for children who bear the full weight of society's troubles? ----- Anyway this manga is really good. Thought I'd make a thread for people to post their impressions as new chapters come out in English. I've been following it through the Japanese releases and the mangaka Taizan 5(a rookie talent afaik) is very good at turning the blacks and whites of manga into light and darkness within the pages and the characters.
