More cast members are landing in the world of Takopi’s Original Sin, the anime adaptation of Taizan 5’s tragic sci-fi manga. Today, we meet two more characters, as well as the voice actors behind them.
Playing Marina, the girl who bullies human protagonist Shizuka, is Konomi Kohara: the voice of the popular Chika Fujiwara in Kaguya-sama: Love Is War. Anna Nagase (Natsuko Hirose in ZENSHU) will play Azuma, an honor student and class rep who cares about Shizuka.

Shinya Iino (Dr. STONE) directs and writes the series composition for the Takopi’s Original Sin anime at ENISHIYA with Keita Nagahara (Suzume unit director, Violet Evergarden key animator) drawing the character designs.
The two volumes of Takopi’s Original Sin have over 1.4 million copies in print, and the English version is available via VIZ Media and Shueisha’s MANGA Plus service. VIZ describes the series as such:
Cute little alien Takopi lands on Earth. What is his mission? To be taken to our leader? No. To spread happiness throughout the universe!
The first person Takopi meets is depressed fourth grader Shizuka. (Or is it…?) Takopi is determined to do whatever it takes to make Shizuka smile again. But his misguided attempts to help her by using his advanced technology to turn back time only result in mayhem and death.
What is the truth Takopi can’t remember? And what must the pink alien octopus with a heart of gold sacrifice to truly help Shizuka and her friends…?
