Happy World! (ハッピーワールド Happī Wārudo?) is a Japanese manga written and illustrated by Kenjirou Takeshita. It was serialized in Shueisha's Ultra Jump. The manga was adapted into an original video animation by KSS with animation work done by Zexcs.
Takeshi Ōmura is an average middle schooler cursed with the bad fortune, as his everyday life is a misery; his house burns down, he sets his hand in dung, he gets chased by a wild dog and all sorts of activities that ruin his life. One day, he is visited by an angel with the name of Elle, and she claims that she came down from the heavens to aid Takeshi in his misfortune. To get rid of his bad luck, he places his bad luck in a small ball with the help of Elle and throws it out of sight. As Elle leaves and Takeshi continues his daily life, he finds the ball again and decides to wait for a person to pick it up. Unfortunately, a young girl sees the ball and moves into a path of a moving truck. Takeshi, realizing that he wouldn't be happy if he didn't save the girl, touches the ball and shouts that he would be the successor of the bad luck if saved by Elle. The angel transports them to a backyard of a house and becomes a human (experiencing gravity and a tangible body). From then on, Elle lives at the Ōmura household (and adopting the name to her own), and attends Takeshi's school.
She enjoys making clothes and often tries to get Takeshi to wear dress's she apparently doesn't understand why this is a problem for him. Voiced by: Ai Uchikawa
