Plot concept: Kokoa arrives in a new town in spring to start high school, but she gets lost and pops into a coffee shop called “Rabbit House”, which turns out to be where she will live. All the people there are so cute – tiny but cool Chino, soldierly Lize, gentle and Japanese Chiyo, and sophisticated-but down-to-earth Sharo. They are joined by Chino’s classmates Maya and Megu, and a regular at the shop, Mr. Blue-Mountain Aoyama. Everything is so cute every day at Rabbit House!
