Oomura Takeshi is no stranger to bad luck. Three days ago though, his misfortunes seem to be piling up. He gets chased by dogs, sees his house burn down… and dies from a fatal concussion. "Fourteen years of life… my life was too short."

Luckily, Heaven seems to think so too: upon dying, he meets an angel called Elle who immediately resurrects him. Elle explains that Takeshi's father had passed down his role to his son — essentially, Takeshi is now the holder of all the bad luck in the world, and Elle was sent to become his guardian angel.

Of course, Takeshi wants to refuse, so he seizes the opportunity to pass the curse to someone else. However, when it seems his curse is going to affect an innocent little girl, he decides to accept it himself once more. Elle acknowledges his acceptance and then transforms into a human, after which she explains that she has to be near Takeshi 24/7 so she can supply him with good luck. Takeshi isn't particularly happy with this arrangement.

A manga by Takeshita Kenjirou, Happy World is a weird mix of Ecchi, Magical Girlfriend, Supernatural Horror and School Comedy. The tone shifts often, and it manages to incorporate some very thoughtful pieces on parenthood and life in general. Certainly better than it sounds, even if it sounded pretty good so far.

Oomura Takeshi no es ajeno a la mala suerte. Sin embargo, hace tres días, sus desgracias parecen estar acumulándose. Es perseguido por perros, ve su casa quemarse… y muere de una conmoción cerebral fatal. "Catorce años vividos… mi vida fue demasiado corta."

Por suerte, el cielo parece pensar lo mismo: al morir, encuentra un ángel llamado Elle que lo resucita inmediatamente. Elle explica que el padre de Takeshi había pasado su papel a su hijo - esencialmente, Takeshi es ahora el poseedor de toda la mala suerte del mundo, y Elle fue enviada para convertirse en su ángel guardián.
Por supuesto, Takeshi quiere negarse, así que aprovecha la oportunidad de pasar la maldición a otra persona. Sin embargo, cuando parece que su maldición va a afectar a una niña inocente, decide aceptarla él mismo una vez más. Elle reconoce su aceptación y luego se transforma en un humano, después de lo cual explica que tiene que estar cerca de Takeshi las 24 horas del día para poder darle buena suerte. Takeshi no está particularmente feliz con este arreglo.
