Appeal of the work

The greatest appeal of "Is the Order a Rabbit?" lies in the personalities and relationships of its characters. The main character, Cocoa, has a bright and energetic personality and enjoys having fun with the people around her. Her younger sister, Chino, has a cool and mature air about her, but it is endearing to watch her change little by little under Cocoa's influence. Each character has their own distinct charm, such as the gap between Rize's military temperament and her maiden heart, Chiya's Japanese atmosphere and eccentric menu names, and Sharo's noble appearance and commoner lifestyle.

In addition, the everyday scenes that take place at the Rabbit House coffee shop provide a sense of healing to viewers. Scenes of coffee being brewed and characters enjoying chatting will warm your heart. Furthermore, the subtitles of each episode are unique, and are designed to attract viewers' interest.

Animation and Music

The backgrounds and art are also carefully drawn, conveying the warmth of Rabbit House and the Japanese atmosphere of Ama Usagi An.

Music is also an important element that enhances the appeal of this work. The opening theme, "Daydream café," is a bright and fun song by Petit Rabbit's that lifts the mood of the viewer. The ending themes, "Poppin Jump♪" and "Nichijou Decoration," are also fun songs by Chimame-tai and Petit Rabbit's, respectively, that will bring a smile to the viewer's face.
