Takopi's Original Sin is a truly brilliant manga with a fantastic plot, fantastic artwork that perfectly complements the tale, and multi-dimensional characters who you can relate to and feel for. It also has incredible emotional moments that even moved me to tears (the ending). This brief manga was incredible to read and is undoubtedly unique.

5/5

I'm probably on the unpopular opinion side, but I loved it.
The ending was so emotional and I think it was wrapped up perfectly.

The story in general feels very heavy since the very beginning, and this feeling does not chamge throughout the volumes. The plot is indeed very serious and this mysterious creature was used perfectly during the whole narration.

The set of characters was very well crafted and every one has their strong personality.
Another aspect that I loved was the art. I loved this style so much and those full page portraits were amazing and full of feelings.
I felt what the author wanted to tell and the art helped so much during this journey.
A beautiful yet hurtful mini series that I'm very glad I decided to get.

By volume 2, things get very ambitious in a way that doesn't exactly feel planned out. I respect the desire to go big, but nothing particularly worked for me. In fact, as things went on, the new direction began to detract from what I felt originally worked in the first handful of chapters. The ending was nice but felt a bit unearned. I feel like it needed more time to flesh out its concepts but at the same time I was mostly ready for it to be over.

Regardless, Taizan5 is starting a new series in Jump soon and I am very excited to see where it goes. I feel like with the right guidance and proper planning this author could make something truly great.

Taizan 5 really knows how to destabilize everything you thought you knew—just like in Volume 1, this second volume hits the restart button on the plot around the ten-chapter mark, flipping your expectations and forcing you to question everything again. That’s what makes this story so compelling: even when the lore is unclear or confusing, you stay deeply invested because the characters feel raw and real. What stood out most in this volume was how painfully honest the depiction of trauma and survival is, especially through Shizuka. Her birth wasn’t her choice—it was the result of the failures of the adults around her—and yet she carries the blame for everything wrong in Marina’s household. When Marina dies and Shizuka feels relief, it’s not cruelty, it’s survival. The feeling of finally being free from the person who made you want to die is one of the most honest moments in the book. Shizuka may be manipulative, especially with Naoki, who she knows will do anything for her, but that’s not because she’s evil—it’s because no one ever showed her how to be safe or loved. Her thoughts are strange and twisted, but they’re what happens when a child has no role models and grows up trying to protect herself. Even Marina, for all her violence, wasn’t born cruel; she was reacting to her own broken situation. In the end, none of the main characters—Naoki, Shizuka, Marina, or Takopi—are truly wrong. They all acted as best they could given their circumstances. I really appreciated that the story didn’t end with a neat resolution. There’s no perfect happy ending, but there is understanding. Takopi helps them realize that their lives may be painful and unfair, but they don’t have to endure it alone. That message, simple and grounded, was beautiful in its realism. For a manga that balances childlike whimsy and overwhelming darkness, this volume hit hard—and I wouldn’t trade the read for anything.

Saya amat berharap di ending volume 1 sehingga cepat-cepat beli volume 2.

Sayangnya, nggak suka sama ending volume 2 ini. Pengarang pakai magic bullet agar semua terlihat baik-baik saja dan aman. Pengarang juga terlalu nyaman bermain-main dengan penjelajahan waktu yang buat saya memusingkan sekali. Mentang-mentang Takopi punya alat ajaib. Ckckck.

Sebetulnya, manga ini amat potensial untuk menjadi cerita yang terkesan membagongkan, gore, bikin bulu kuduk berdiri, dan/atau traumatis. Tapi pengarang tidak memilih itu. Huft.

Une œuvre qui m'intriguait depuis longtemps, je suis contente de l'avoir trouvé d'occasion. C'est une œuvre dure mais aussi très belle dans les sujets qu'elle aborde

[Tania · Rating 3 out of 5]

Me encanta que la resolución de esta historia es que la humanidad es compleja, con matices y a veces contradictoria y que la única manera de entenderla es por medio de la comunicación. Takopi la pasó terriblemente mal porque no comprendía a la humanidad y solo hasta que lo hizo se dió cuenta de por qué Shizuka llegó a su límite, por qué Marina pidió ese deseo y por qué Azuma soportaba tanto.

El mensaje final también implica romper con el círculo de ser víctimario víctima de una víctima y tener una red de apoyo.

en general me han gustado mucho los dos mangas pero este ha sido algo más flojo. en cuánto a la historia, me ha parecido que este tomo ya tenido un poco de sufrimiento de gratuito, cosa que en el primero no. el final me ha gustado muchopi...

I didn't like it as much as the first Volume, but it was still enjoyable. I didn't expect where this was going and when the ending finally came, I was a bit confused. But the ending made me cry.

EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!

[Ona · Rating 4 out of 5]

La review de este segundo es para toda la historia. La verdad que esta manga me ha encantado, una pena que sea tan corto.

En mi opinión los personajes principales son víctimas de como los tratan sus respectivas familias. El padre de Shizuka las abandona a ella y a su madre, lo que lleva a su madre a prostituirse. Shizuka se siente terriblemente sola por culpa de esta situación. El padre de Marina le pone los cuernos a su madre con la madre de Shizuka, esto hace que la madre de Marina quiera tener total control sobre ella y tener el 100% de su afecto. Esta situación lleva a Marina a odiar a Shizuka y hacerle la vida imposible. Opino que las dos son víctimas de las vidas desestructuradas de sus padres y, por lo tanto, podrían haberse unido para afrontar lo malo juntas desde un principio. Pienso que tiene un enfoque bastante real, como tu entorno te puede llevar a tener pensamientos peligrosos e incluso llevarlos a cabo por no sentirse acompañado ni ver la luz.

Una cosa que no me ha gustado, o mejor dicho, me ha confundido, son los saltos temporales. Para ser un manga de 16 capítulos, hay 3 líneas temporales diferentes de las cuales 2 aparecen en el segundo tomo. No lo considero algo súper negativo, porque acabas entendiendo la relación que hay entre las 3 si te paras a pensar un poco. Pero me habría gustado que fuese un poco más extensa la historia, más detallada, y se explicase con más dedicación como funciona el planeta Happy, los Happy gadgets, el reloj que retrocede en el tiempo y el papel de la madre Happy (creo que se llama así¿). Por eso no le pongo 5 estrellas.

Manga totalmente recomendado. Eso sí, si estás pasando una mala racha emocionalmente o eres muy sensible no te recomiendo leerlo porque es bastante duro. Vibras similares a Oyasumi PunPun.

Uff.. Tohle bylo všechno jen ne to co jsem čekala.. Tato minisérie byla na mém wishliste už chvíli.. A musím přiznat, že když jsem četla, že tam jsou mimozemšťané a je to o misi a štěstím, tak jsem rozhodně čekala něco víc psané pro děti.. Jenže toto je opak. Samozřejmě to může číst 15ti leté dítě, ale nedoporučuji to třeba 10ti letému, jo? Samotná jsi od včerejška nejsem jistá co si o tom mám myslet.. Nic podobného jsem v životě nečetla což dělá tuto sérii krásnou, ale zároveň trošku divnou.. Pokud byste si mysleli, že tato série bude sladká jak jahoda, tak jste na omylu.. Nebudu lhát, ale ten kdo to napsal a vymyslel ten příběh, tak očividně byl totálně v prdeli a potřeboval nějakou naději.. Lépe si to vysvětlit nemohu..

Když to shrnu.. Mám v sobě neskutečně moc pocitů a nevím, které jsou více cítit a které ne.. Takže je strašně těžké tuto sérii hodnotit jen podle hvězdiček.. Tohle byla šílená jízda a já prostě nevím.. Ale zároveň vím..

Takže.. Když tuto sérii budu porovnávat s jinými či spíše podobnými divnými až creepy, smutnými a všelijakými sériemi.. Tak si zaslouží 5/5 hvězdiček..

Tato série je jeden velký mindfuck!

Cukup kaget dg plot twist yang diberikan divolume 2. Tapi lumayan bingung dg ending yg diberikan, ini ko begini yah? Loh ko gitu?
Tetap esensi dark yg diberikan masih melekat. Dan ‘ANAK’ selalu menjadi korban akibat dari orangtua yang sudah bercerai berai dan tidak bertanggung jawab😞

[wilhelm]

sadly worse than the 1st volume. too much messing with time in different ways and one character is forgiven everything and faces no consequences because of the sad backstory. I love the art style though

A tady to šlo do kytek. Dvojku jsem rozečetl kolem půlnoci, takže jsem na ty různé časové skoky možná neměl čistou hlavu, ale přišlo mi to jako strašná blbost. Chobotnice je ránu, stejně tak jednotlivý postavy.

Spoiler alert: This has a happy ending. And since that made me happy, all the depression this caused me has been forgiven.

""Talking... brings happiness-pi!""

The suffering continues to snowball a bit, but... everything kind of works out in the end(?). Things didn't go the way I did predict, but I suppose really I should have expected this a little, at least with the mention of a time machine in Volume 1....

This is one of those stories that has quite a few "conditions" for the audience to accept in order to enjoy. Firstly, the "misery-porn" could definitely be a "turn-off" for a lot of readers. Second, I'd say the "humor" of Takopi's naivete is probably awkward to get used to, and I imagine a good many readers ignore it in favor of focusing on the "drama" rather than the "irony" of Takopi's character. The ending could be seen as "sappy" or "too clean," which could be a turn-off as well. And, this is what affects me most, at the end of the day the "ride" is all about floating on the suffering so the last chapter can make you feel better, meaning the whole thing is rather "manipulative," and it's a question of whether you're a) dumb enough to let it affect you without questioning, b) too cynical to fall for it, or c) in the middle, where you can see that Taizan 5 is trying to work your heartstrings like a puppet, but you have time to kill and let him do it.

There seems to be a "big thing" in the West where readers assume the manga was "axed" because of how short it was, but I don't believe that to be the case, even if it really does feel like it sometimes. From my understanding, the manga was always popular when it ran, and it was on the digital Jump+ platform, which... seems not to have high standards anyway. The physical tankoubon releases also sold very well. Everything points to Taizan 5 having planned the manga to be only sixteen chapters. But... it really feels like the Tokyo and 2022 parts are glossed over, so I kinda wish we have a few more chapters to flesh those bits out.... And, more superficially, enough extra chapters to warrant a third volume would allow a cover for Azuma-kun, which I feel is something we're sorely lacking.

I kind of wish we could get an anime film adaptation of this, but I know that would mean a bunch of stupid people would find out about it and overhype it much worse, like what happened with Koe no Katachi....

VERY confusing and messy at times. But this was beautiful. Kinda upset on some parts.

Like Shizuka literally killing her half siblings/ fathers kids •_• and cutting the stomachs open to find her dog………. But the plot twist was awesome, love time travel. The ending is nice too. Takopi did his purpose after all. Happy ending.

[Johan Wilbur · Rating 4 out of 5]

Yo me imagino a gente yendo a sus librerias y ver las portadas de Takopi y pensar que todo va de niños y un pulpo simpatico. Que van a leerse algo en plan Shin Chan, Digimon o algo así.

Y lo gracioso es que, en realidad, es algo más parecido a Doraemon que a otra cosa.

Y vale, sí, digamos que Takopi, el simpatico pulpo alienigena y kawaii es Doraemon. Pero es como si Doraemon, recien llegado a la tierra, en vez de conocer a Nobita se viera envuelto en una voragine de abusos fisicos y verbales, maltratos familiares, suicidios, violencia explicita y, en general, una cantidad de odio y malestar palpable con la que es facil que el pobre gato cósmico pensara en meter la cabeza en su propio bolsillo mágico y no salir del cajón aquel jamás.

Personalmente, es durete, pero qué puedo decir, una vez leída cierta obra magna llamada Oyasumi PunPun pues me ha parecido un miercoles cualquiera.

Aparte, no le puedo poner las cinco estrellas porque el dibujo de Taizan5 es feo cómo él solo y parece hecho con un solo pilot y cierto grado de esquizofrenia. Que no digo que le venga mal a la obra, pero estetico pues no es.

A destacar: Que en la portada venga una pegatina advirtiendote de lo que te vas a encontrar dentro, cómo si el manga fuera un paquete de tabaco.

If you wanna read more about my overall thoughts on this story, I have another review for the other book.

I do still like these books overall, but I personally feel the second half is weaker than the first (though admittedly, I wasnt really paying a lot of attention to where that line is)

It's not that nothing interesting happens.... Because they do! But I felt it felt sort of rushed and forced towards the end.... Endings are hard, I feel I'm rarely satisfied with them... But at the same time, for a story about how complicated sadness and happiness is, I feel like it was resolved all too quickly. Or maybe I'm just not getting the point.

Also, I forgot to say before... I really like the part where the mother is begging takopi to bring her daughter back after he pretends to be her... I think sometimes abusive parents in stories are always completely blind to those things, or don't care. It's sort of refreshing to see an abusive mother who also has a deep love for her daughter in her own way. I think that's closer to the realities I've seen, though both do exist.

[Christina Gardner · Rating 3 out of 5]

Hmm this was an interesting concept, and I love what they were going for. I feel the story (especially in the first volume) was waaay too heavy and dark to match the ending though.
This is coming from someone who believes in speaking honestly to children; I just think the angst could’ve been dialed back a notch. Kids can still relate and empathize with rough times without exposing them to an absolute barrage/slog of depressing content. Seriously gave me some PunPun flashbacks…

The art was phenomenal but I wasn't terribly fond of the ending. I definitely think it would have benefited from another chapter or two, but the story was overall fine.

[Psychée Délik · Rating 4 out of 5]

Il arrive parfois que certaines œuvres vous prennent par surprise. Pas par leur ampleur, ni leur durée, mais par la violence avec laquelle elles viennent vous chercher. Le Péché originel de Takopi, courte duologie, fait partie de ces lectures qui ne laissent pas indemne. Derrière son apparence enfantine, presque naïve, se cache un récit d’une profondeur émotionnelle et d’une noirceur rarement atteintes dans le manga contemporain.

Ce que Taizan 5 réussit avec une précision chirurgicale, c’est de faire coexister deux registres opposés : l’innocence lumineuse de Takopi et la noirceur insondable du monde humain. Le contraste est saisissant — et volontaire. Car plus le récit avance, plus cette candeur devient une sorte de prisme déformant à travers lequel on perçoit l’horreur quotidienne vécue par certains enfants.
Les thèmes abordés sont lourds, voire accablants : harcèlement scolaire, maltraitance et pression parentales, solitude, deuil, culpabilité. Shizuka, au centre de cette tempête, incarne une enfance meurtrie que personne ne semble entendre. Ni les adultes, ni ses camarades. Seul Takopi, en dépit de son incompréhension du monde humain, tente de la "sauver".
Mais que peut l’innocence face à la cruauté ?
Ce manga se divise en deux volumes, mais il serait plus juste de dire qu’elle se déroule en deux actes complémentaires.
Le premier tome frappe fort, très fort. Il nous jette dans la réalité de ces enfants blessés, avec un rythme rapide et des moments de tension insoutenables. Il ose l’irreprésentable, sans jamais tomber dans le sensationnalisme.
Le second volume, quant à lui, opère une relecture subtile du premier. Il interroge les choix, explore la possibilité d’un "autre chemin", joue avec les dimensions temporelles et les conséquences. C’est là que la science-fiction, jusqu’alors discrète, prend une ampleur philosophique : sommes-nous prisonniers de notre douleur ? Peut-on réécrire son destin ?
Cela dit, je dois avouer que certains passages m’ont laissée légèrement confuse quant à la chronologie. La structure narrative, volontairement éclatée dans la deuxième partie, nécessite de l’attention. On perd parfois un peu ses repères temporels, surtout si on enchaîne les chapitres rapidement. Rien de rédhibitoire, mais une lecture attentive s’impose pour bien saisir l’enchaînement des événements.

Le style graphique de Taizan 5 est à l’image de son personnage principal : simple, rond, presque enfantin. Et pourtant, il suffit d’un regard vide, d’un silence entre deux cases, pour que tout bascule. L’auteur (ou autrice) joue sur l’opposition constante entre la forme et le fond, utilisant le contraste visuel pour renforcer l’impact émotionnel.
Il y a peu de fioritures, mais chaque case semble pesée, chaque cadrage pensé. Et cela rend les moments de bascule encore plus percutants.

Dans un paysage manga saturé de séries à rallonge, Le Péché originel de Takopi se distingue par sa brièveté. Deux volumes, pas un de plus. L’histoire ne s’étire jamais, elle vise le cœur et l’atteint en plein centre. Elle nous pousse à réfléchir sur la souffrance que l’on ignore, sur les enfants que l’on ne regarde pas, sur l’innocence que l’on laisse mourir.
Ce n’est pas une lecture facile. C’est un choc. Mais c’est aussi un rappel nécessaire que certaines douleurs ne peuvent être réparées que si on choisit d’en parler.

Le Péché originel de Takopi est une œuvre rare : brève, brutale, bouleversante. Taizan 5 y explore avec une lucidité glaçante la douleur enfantine, la solitude, et la quête désespérée du bonheur. Portée par un dessin en trompe-l'œil et une narration habile (parfois un peu complexe dans sa deuxième partie), cette duologie s’impose comme un récit indispensable, à la croisée de la fable et du drame humain.
