## Synopsis

Takopi, a bouncy octopus-like alien from the Happy Planet, lands on Earth with a simple mission: spread happiness. He attaches himself to Shizuka, a fourth grader whose smile never reaches her eyes, and starts deploying his Happy Gadgets to cheer her up. But Shizuka's unhappiness isn't a puzzle a gadget can solve — it's bullying, neglect, and loneliness layered deeper than Takopi's sunny worldview can comprehend. His clumsy attempts to help set off consequences no one intended, and the series follows them with unflinching honesty toward something like grace.
