A few days ago, Taco Pea's Original Sin The anime adaptation has been officially confirmed.

Despite being serialized below boy jumping Imprint, this is no ordinary shonen series.
Taco Pea's Original Sin In some ways it can be compared Chainsaw Man Creator Tatsuki Fujimoto look back. These are very different stories, but they are touching and tragic stories with characters that are sometimes all too real. But Fujimoto's story is a bit happier. taco pie It doesn't spare the reader from dealing with dire situations and characters we're meant to love and hate at the same time.
Tacopi's original sin premise and series
First, we must answer the question. What exactly is it? Taco Pea's Original Sin for? It's a bit complicated to answer. Despite being a short story, the story is full of twists and turns.. Since we can't talk about it without giving away the first big one, let's say it starts with Takopi, an alien from a “happy planet” who wants to make people happy, meeting Shizuka Kuze, a girl from a poor family. Hard life. Tacopi can't exactly understand all the sadness around and within Shizuka, but after she commits suicide (Chapter 1), he goes back in time to prevent her from committing suicide.
It was serialized from 2020 to 2021. Boy Jump+ It was produced as an app and later edited into two volumes. The book was written and illustrated by later creator Taizan 5 (a pen name). The deadly sin of the Ichinose family Comics (and obviously someone who loves talking about drama and sin).
Characters may be too realistic
One of the highlights of the manga is the three main characters, who have depth despite their short plot. Shizuka lives only with her mother, who works as an escort or a prostitute (or both), and her family is poor. They have a dog that is important to the plot. Her father divorced her mother several years ago.
She is constantly bullied by Marina at school. At first, we're supposed to hate how terrible Marina's relationship with Shizuka is, but we soon learn that Marina's life isn't easy either, and that she's a victim of constant domestic violence. Her tragedy involves Shizuka, and while she unfairly blames the girl for it, Shizuka seems barely aware of the damage she could be causing Marina.
But later we learn that Shizuka is not as “innocent” as she seems and can be cold and terrible. The beginning of the story isn't the only time Tacopi travels through time, so we see these characters in different timelines, but tragedy seems to follow them anyway.
There is also Azuma, a boy who at first seems like the bright hero of the story. Of course, that's not necessarily the case. Although he lives in better circumstances than the two girls, it is not a bed of roses. He tries to help Shizuka as the class representative, but ends up getting involved in a major crime.
What's interesting here is In reality, no one is “innocent” (Probably not taco pears). Everyone can be terrible despite, or perhaps just because of, the abuse they suffer. that It can be easy to forget that these characters are children in vulnerable situations.They are people who must be protected no matter how badly they react to their environment. In this sense, the story sometimes feels too real (and that's a compliment).
Despite the heavy setting, the story manages to balance sadness and happiness. The mix of painful and comical moments makes the story a little (a little) lighter. Tacopi is comic relief because his ability to misinterpret and understand sadness and negative emotions/reactions in general is cute and funny. It is also a warning that a creature that is too happy may be too naive. He is brave in his own way, but he shows us that negative emotions are not only important, but also part of what makes us human.
What do we know about the anime adaptation?
There wasn't much information about the anime adaptation. It's likely to be a movie, but it could be released in theaters, streaming, or as an actual OVA. Because it is boy jumping Following the series, more information may be revealed at Jump Festa 2025 later this month. The production has only shared a teaser trailer and key visuals.
What can we expect from it?
It's hard to know what to expect without staff information, but this series has tremendous potential. Not only can it attract the attention of the public who likes dramas, but also look back showed us that boy jumping Dramas can be fantastical, but crews can be very creative in adapting stories. Despite the time travel and plot twists, comics tell stories in a simple way, but anime can be bolder in how it tells narratives from different time periods. Anyway, it's a series I'm looking forward to!
