Synopsis:
From a distant world, a gentle being named Takopii arrives on Earth with a singular purpose: to cultivate joy. Encountering a world vastly different from his own, he finds an unlikely ally in Shizuka Kuze, a quiet girl navigating loneliness and hardship. Deeply grateful for Shizuka’s kindness, Takopii dedicates himself to bringing her happiness, though his earnest efforts often miss the mark.
The series explores themes of connection and emotional understanding through the lens of interspecies friendship. Takopii's naive optimism contrasts with Shizuka's guarded nature, revealing a poignant exploration of childhood struggles and the complexities of human relationships. As he attempts to understand what truly brightens Shizuka’s days, Takopii learns valuable lessons about empathy and the nuances of happiness, all while navigating the challenges of being an alien in a strange land.
