Original subtitles

It's so pretty!

This town is so cute!

It's gonna be fun living here!

If that's here, and that's there, then...

Well, whatever!

A café?

"Rabbit House"...

Rabbits?

That tickles!

Let's see what it's like!

Welcome.

Rabbits! Rabbits!

I don't see any rabbits...

I don't see any rabbits?

I don't see any rabbits!

I'm not sure how to respond...

Hop At a Glance, I Could Discern It Was Uncommonly Cuddly

Is your heart hop-hopping in anticipation?

I pretend I'm lost in thought,

so go on, come a bit closer.

It won't be that easy to get me to say it.

I love you so much,

but it's a secret.

Cute and cuddly, heart is fluttery, it's a secret.

Make your first impression count. I'm not patient!

Cute and cuddly, heart is fluttery, it's a secret, I say.

With a teasing smile, I hop-hop.

I opened the door to find an unfamiliar world before me.

Don't be silly.

That's impossible!

But it just might be.

A milk-colored world!

When I gazed into my coffee cup,

there I was, looking back at myself.

Why's that?

Why's that?

There's two of me!

No way!

Oh dear, that won't do.

I'm sure

our interests would match,

you see.

Who is it

that I'm looking at? You of course!

You're the only one in my eyes.

This is a dream,

a dream in a cup.

When we drink it dry, will it end?

We can hop-hop all we want.

Let's look for adventure

and let loose a bit more.

With a hop-hop!

It's so wonderful when we're together!

I want to hear you say it.

Just say it!

Is your heart hop-hopping in anticipation?

I pretend I'm lost in thought,

so go on, come a bit closer.

With a hop-hop!

It won't be that easy to get me to say it.

I love you so much,

Oh so much, much, much!

but it's a secret.

A fuzzball?

You mean this?

This is Tippy.

A rabbit, technically.

A rabbit?

May I take your order?

I'll have that rabbit!

The rabbit's not for sale.

A-At least...

At least let me cuddle him!

One cuddle per cup of coffee.

I'll take three!

Here are your drinks.

I ordered three cups, so I get to hold him three times!

Please drink the coffee before it gets cold.

R-Right!

What a sophisticated aroma!

So this is Blue Mountain?

No, that's Colombian.

How tart! This must be Kilimanjaro.

No, that one's Blue Mountain.

A taste that makes you feel at home...

This has to be instant—

That's our original blend.

Eh?

Well, they're all delicious!

He's so cuddly-wuddly!

Oh no, I'm drooling.

Huh? Did this rabbit just shout?

You're imagining things.

But seriously, I could get addicted to this.

Are you finished yet?

Um...

Unhand me already, girl!

Did this rabbit just demand release in a dandyish voice?

That was my ventriloquism.

Now, please finish your coffee.

I'll be attending school here starting this spring semester.

I see...

The thing is, I got lost looking for my host family.

Host family...

So I thought I'd come in here to rest and ask for directions.

Do you know the Kafuu family? They should live in this area.

It's written with the characters for "fragrant" and "wind".

This is the Kafuu household.

Really?!

Wow!

This is beyond mere coincidence! It's destiny!

My name is Chino. I'm the owner's granddaughter.

I'm Cocoa! Nice to meet you, Chino-chan!

You too, Cocoa-san.

So anyway, according to school policy,

I'm supposed to make myself useful to my host family as thanks for letting me stay.

So you want to work here.

That's right!

Well, I can take care of the chores on my own,

and it's not like the café's short on staff,

so there isn't really anything for you to do.

Right off the bat, I'm a fifth wheel.

Anyway, I should probably say my hellos.

Is the owner out?

Last year, my grandfather...

I see... So you've been managing the place all by yourself.

Well, no, there's my father and the part-time girl—

I'll be your big sister! You can tell me anything!

So, you can call me "Onee-chan", okay?

Then, Cocoa-san...

Call me "Onee-chan"!

Cocoa-san...

Call me "Onee-chan"!

Cocoa-san, please get to work.

You got it!

You can use this closet.

Thanks.

I'll go get your uniform.

I get a uniform!

Uniform! Uniform!

I should be alone, but I feel like I'm being watched.

A-A half-naked...

burglar?!

I should have been completely undetectable!

Identify yourself!

I-I'm Cocoa. I'll be staying here starting today.

I received no report of this.

You've got some explaining to do!

One of us here has significantly more explaining to do than the other.

Is something the matter?

Chino-chan, it's a burglar!

I-I am not!

Isn't it normal to maintain cover around an unidentified entity?

Well, what about the gun?!

It's for self-defense!

My father's in the military,

so I've been trained in self-defense and the like since I was young.

But I'm a normal high school girl! You can believe me!

You're making that very difficult!

Um, your uniform...

It's so cute!

Very nice. It suits you well.

Yes, it's not bad at all.

Cocoa-san, this is Rize-san, our part-timer.

So she really does work here.

Rize-san, since you have experience, please show Cocoa-san the ropes.

S-So I'm her drill instructor?

You look pleased.

What gave you that impression?

Show me how it's done, Rize-chan!

When addressing your superiors, you will end your sentences with "sir"!

Please calm down, sir!

Let's start by moving these bags of coffee beans to the kitchen.

O-Okay!

S-So heavy...

This is too much for a normal girl to handle!

Don't you think so, Rize-chan?

Oh, r-right!

G-Gosh, that sure is heavy.

Can't budge it. Not us normal girls, nope.

I guess we'll just move the smaller bags.

Even the small ones are heavy!

I can barely lift one!

You said it!

I can barely lift one!

Not even one...

Cocoa, make sure you memorize the menu.

Sure. Thanks.

I memorized it in one go.

Whoa!

I've had training, you know.

Chino here can identify coffee by smell alone.

She's more grown-up than me!

She can't do it without milk and sugar, though.

That's the most reassuring thing I've heard all day!

You're lucky, Chino-chan and Rize-chan.

I wish I had some special talent.

What have you got there, Chino-chan?

My spring vacation homework.

I work on it in my spare time.

Oh, the answer to that one is 128.

The next one is 367.

Cocoa,

if someone orders 29 cups of 430-yen blend coffee, what is the total price?

12,470 yen.

Now, if only I had some special talent...

Of all the unexpected abilities...

Welcome!

Goodness, a new girl?

Yep!

I just started today. My name's Cocoa!

Pleased to meet you.

I'll have a Kilimanjaro.

Right away!

Looks like she can handle customers just fine.

Yes, it seems we won't have to worry.

I did it!

I took her order!

One Kilimanjaro, please!

Right.

Well done.

Watch it!

You've got some nerve, sneaking up on me!

I'm sorry, sir!

Thank you for coming!

Hey, Chino-chan!

Yes?

If this place is called Rabbit House,

why aren't we wearing bunny ears?

We'd be a different sort of café entirely if the staff wore bunny ears.

But I bet Rize-chan would look great in them!

You'll never get me to wear that.

It'd be far too revealing!

I thought we were talking about bunny ears!

Instructor!

Why is this place called Rabbit House, then?

Sir!

Because our mascot is Tippy, I'd assume.

But...

Tippy's not very rabbit-like.

He's all fluffy.

What would you rather call this café?

Why, "Fluffy Cuddles Café", of course!

Exactly what it says on the tin, I see.

Fluffy Cuddles Café...

She likes it!

Rize-chan, whatcha doing?

Latte art.

I'm using milk foam to draw pictures on a caffè latte.

Have a look.

It's a free service for our customers.

Wanna give it a shot?

If it's art you want, you're in luck!

Believe it or not, I once won a gold medal for mine!

Don't go telling me it was in the neighborhood lower-elementary division or something.

Well, here are a few examples.

Wow! You're really good!

Y-You think so?

Absolutely!

You're a great artist!

Come on, make another one!

I-If you insist.

But just this once.

Really?

Watch closely, and learn.

Done!

Amazing!

Oh, it's really nothing special!

No... This goes above and beyond "well-drawn".

Beyond the realm of human ability, for that matter!

All right! Lemme give it a shot!

You can do it!

This is tricky.

It didn't come out like I imagined.

Let me see.

I-It's adorable!

She's laughing at me!

Aw...

Chino-chan, you do one too.

You want me to make one?

Rize-chan, I can't wait to see what she comes up with!

I seem to recall Chino's latte art being...

I'm finished.

Th-This is...

Chino-chan's the same as me!

The same?

We're the same!

N-No, Cocoa.

You can't judge that kind of art the same way as ours...

Latte art is hard, isn't it?

But it's so much fun!

Good work, everyone!

Good work!

So, Cocoa, you'll be living here starting today?

Yep, that's right!

Chino-chan, let's make dinner together!

I can do it on my own.

But I wanna help!

I don't need help.

Why not?

Let's spend time in the kitchen together!

That sounds like fun...

See you!

Have a nice evening.

Bye-bye!

Will stew be all right for dinner?

Let me chop the vegetables!

No, I can manage on my own.

Chino-chan!

Yes?

Ta-dah!

Pictures Fullscreen Select Menu Rotate

Are those...

I made them myself earlier!

...us?

That's right!

Who's this?

He's my father.

So, you're Cocoa-kun?

Well, the more the merrier, I say.

Welcome to our home.

Th-Thank you for having me!

The pleasure is all ours.

Take care of Chino for me.

Do excuse me.

O-Okay!

Is your dad not gonna eat with us?

At night, Rabbit House becomes a bar.

My father is the bartender.

Wow, really?

He seems like the type who'd deal in shady information.

Pretty cool!

What are you talking about?

Is it about done?

Nearly.

It almost feels like we're sisters!

Sisters?

So you'd be Cocoa-oneechan.

Say it again!

Please! One more time?

Please. One more time?

Chino-chan!

Let's bathe together!

It'll be a cocoa bath!

A cocoa bath?

This is heaven!

My fatigue's just melting away.

Hey, can I sleep in your room tonight?

In my room?

Yeah!

My things aren't here yet,

and there's so much I want to talk about!

Talking... Sleeping together...

Will I be able to manage that?

I-I've never done this before,

so please go easy on me.

Get this, Wild Goose.

We got a new hire today, and a real oddball at that.

By the end, we were drowning in cups of practice latte art.

I've had enough caffè latte to last me quite a while.

I'm not lonely!

I'm not lonely!

By the way, where's Tippy?

Working the bar with my father.

Phooey. I wanted to fall asleep cuddling him.

Tippy is not a teddy bear.

Then maybe I'll cuddle you tonight!

Good grief. We're in for some hectic times.

I hope Chino gets along with her.

Cocoa, was it?

Didn't take her long to settle into this café.

Perhaps a friend like that is just what Chino needs.

That said, I can't have her always treating me like a stuffed toy.

I may be in this body now, but in a sense I'm still, you know...

Come, now.

This is shaping up to be a fun ride, Pops.

Imbecile!

You haven't a clue what I'm going through!

Welcome.

Listen to me!

A message?

It's from Cocoa.

You have a new message from Cocoa Later Open

Sender Cocoa Let's keep up the hard work tomorrow!

That's what she's been up to?

Looks like I have a new wallpaper.

Cocoa-san...

I should've gotten a second helping of stew.

Of all things...

Chino-chan!

This is a wonderful town!

Really?

Yep!

I'm glad I came here.

I can feel lots of adventures waiting just around the corner!

I look forward to our time together, Cocoa-san.

I'll be the best big sister you never had!

On second thought, I take that back.

We're sleeping in the same bed tonight!

While worrying about her new class,

she runs into another girl.

To her surprise—

What was that?!

Look forward to it.
