Takopii no Genzai

Takopi, a creature from Happy Planet, arrives on Earth convinced that his mission is simple: spread smiles with his wondrous Happy Gadgets. The first person to help him is Shizuka, a fourth grader who almost never smiles. She feeds him and gives him his new name, so Takopi resolves to repay her by making her happy at any cost.

Shizuka's world is far more complicated than his innocent mind can grasp. She is bullied at school, warmth is scarce at home, and nearly all her happiness is tied to her dog Chappy. When Takopi tries to fix her life with straightforward solutions, his good intentions create consequences that cannot easily be undone, forcing an alien devoted to happiness to confront how much pain human beings can hide behind an ordinary face.
