4	''Is the Order a Rabbit?'' (''Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka?'', abbreviated as ''[=GochiUsa=]''), is a SliceOfLife {{Yonkoma}} manga by Koi (the pseudonym for two people who share the drawing and writing duties) that has been serialized in ''Magazine/MangaTimeKirara Max'' since March 2011.
5
6	Taking place in an idyllic half-timbered town known only as "[[CityWithNoName the half-timbered town]]", the manga follows the everyday lives of the teenaged girls who work in the eclectic mix of cafés and restaurants dotting its quaint, European-style streets.
7
8	The colorful personalities populating its rather large EnsembleCast include: the ever-cheerful, energetic [[TheDitz ditz]] Cocoa Hoto, who is determined to get her diminutive co-worker, the dour and deadpan Chino Kafū, to cuddle her and call her "big sister"; the elegant yet air-headed Chiya Ujimatsu and the dignified yet neurotic Syaro Kirima, two neighbors and {{Childhood Friend}}s who couldn't contrast more if they tried; Rize Tedeza, a MilitaryBrat who fancies herself the stern disciplinarian of the group but is far too easily flustered and embarrassed to actually fulfill that role; demure girly-girl Megumi Natsu and brash gamer tomboy Maya Jōga, who look up to the older girls and want to make them proud; the Ginger twins, Natsu and Elu, who are obsessed with being hired legitimately by the Bright Bunny coffee shop chain despite [[SelfMadeMan being the corporation's heiresses]]; Fuyu Fuiba, a gloomy-looking girl who has her head screwed on right, but whose [[TheUnSmile attempts at smiling]] mortify friends and customers alike; and Rize's ChildhoodFriend Yura Karade, [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial who is absolutely not stalking her cute juniors and absolutely did not get a job as a maid at Rize's mansion just to mess with her]].
9
10	Light on plot and heavy on carefree atmosphere, ''Is the Order a Rabbit?'' offers a [[{{Iyashikei}} leisurely and relaxed look]] at the adventures, and occasional ''mis''-adventures, this wacky group of oddball baristas get up to whenever their paths cross, and all the ways they can find happiness, wisdom, and camaraderie in everyday life as the seasons pass and they all grow a little older.
11
12	After an aborted attempt to be published outside Japan by the now-defunct Sol Press in 2020, the manga would finally see an ongoing English release by Creator/YenPress starting in 2024.
13
14	Creator/WhiteFox produced an anime adaptation that premiered in April 2014, and a second season, produced by White Fox and Creator/KinemaCitrus, premiered in October 2015.

16	----
17	!!''Is the Order a Rabbit?'' provides examples of:
18
19	* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Aoyama Blue Mountain makes an appearance in the first season's opening sequence, but does not interact with the cast until episode six in the first season.
20	* AdaptedOut: The manga chapter where Cocoa tries to ride a bike is chopped down into a few lines of wistful thinking in episode six in season one.
21	* AfterlifeExpress: A flying train, with Kafuu Saki its passenger, occasionally pulls up to the roof of Rabbit House to collect Chino's grandfather. According to Chino in chapter 138, it "[[{{Foreshadowing}} seems to get closer every day]]."
22	* AgeInappropriateArt: Rize decides to put on a puppet show fot children in chapter 148. Since this is Rize, she stages a military thriller about a traitor trying to bring down the state.
23	* AlternateUniverse: In vol. 9 ch. 8, Megu falls down a flight of stairs and wakes up in a sci-fi universe where everybody has a floating rabbit-shaped computer. In the end though, they're still best friends.
24	* AmbiguousTimePeriod: Although it uses a lot of current technology (and ostensibly takes place in Japan), the series also heavily invokes pre/inter-war Europe, especially during the city arc. Aoyama-sensei, who is in her mid-20s, apparently had ''wet nurses'', a practice that largely died out in the west once baby formula was invented, and the Royal Cats Hotel's maid costumes look like something out of the Edwardian era.
25	* AnimalThemeNaming: The cafés where the girls work are named in different languages, but they all have words for "rabbit" somewhere in their names:
26	** English: ''Rabbit'' House and Bright ''Bunny''
27	** Japanese: Ama ''Usa'' An
28	** French: Fleur De ''Lapin''
29	* AprilFoolsDay:
30	** On April Fool's Day in 2015, the official website "revealed" that there would be a SpinOff titled ''Is the Order a MagicalGirl?'' starring Chino as a Magical Girl. While the announcement was fake, the idea was well-received and there was some [[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2015-08-10/is-this-order-a-rabbit-april-fool-joke-gets-comiket-goods/.91356 official merchandise]] that was released later that year.
31	** For April Fool's 2016, a spin-off starring Syaro in ''The Phantom Thief Lapin'' was announced.
32	** April 2017 presents the sky pirate-themed online card game titled ''[=ChiMaMe=] Chronicle'': the artwork can be found [[http://imgur.com/a/ZaXiz here]].
33	** Vol. 9 ch. 8 is all about Megu trying (and failing) to not get tricked on April Fool's Day ... even after she gets sucked into a "parallel universe".
34	* AutopilotArtistry: While working as a barista at the Rabbit House cafe, the idiot protagonist Hoto Cocoa laments that she doesn't have a special skill like her co-workers. She then quickly and effortlessly calculates a very complex receipt in her head for a customer. Afterwards, she goes right back to lamenting that she doesn't have a special skill.
35	* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Although Rize spends the entirety of chapter 157 fuming at Yura (including at one point threatening to throw "the drunkard" out of Rabbit House and onto the street), at the end she still worries about her catching a cold.
36	* BadassAdorable: There is a rabbit with a badass [[RuggedScar cross-shaped scar]] and [[RedEyesTakeWarning glowing red eyes]], who is always seen chewing on a straw. It's the same rabbit Rize saved Syaro from when they first met, and Rize later names him "Wild Geese".
37	* BattleAura: In episode five of the first season, a glow surrounds Chino while she attempts a badminton serve that Rize had taught her earlier.
38	* BedmateReveal: Chapter 158 opens with Cocoa waking up to find Elu sleeping in her bed, for reasons unknown. Naturally, Cocoa immediately lays back down and starts cuddling her.
39	* BigNo: Tippy shouts out in frustration when Cocoa is cuddling him too aggressively. At first, Cocoa becomes confused by it, but Chino tries to pass it off as ventriloquism. Tippy is later revealed to be able to talk.
40	* BigOMG: In the third season's third episode, after Chino jokingly remarks that if she likes Syaro and Rize's school enough after a tour, she might consider taking the entrance exam, Cocoa cries out "Oh my god!" in English and falls over in shock.
41	* BlankWhiteEyes: The girls' eyes take this form in response to something outrageous or shocking.
42	* BlatantLies: In vol. 9 ch. 2, when the girls learn Aoyama-sensei started working as a maid in the Royal Cats Hotel, she claims she lost all her money at the casino as a way to get material for her next novel. Rize immediately sees through that.
43	* BlueWithShock: Cocoa and Syaro turn blue in episode five of the first season after receiving a surprisingly forceful volleyball serve from Chiya.
44	* BookEnds: Chapter 135. [[spoiler: It starts with a flashback to young Cocoa being given a tour of the half-timbered town by Saki, Chino's mother while the other girls cameo as children. In the present, Cocoa gives Eru and Natsume the same tour, and the older versions of the other girls mirror their appearance in the flashback. Chino is also shown giving a lost girl a tour of her own, just like her mother.]]
45	* BrownBagMask: Because of her fear of rabbits, Cocoa uses one to cover Syaro's face in episode seven of the first season while they're visiting Chiya. Surprisingly, Anko doesn't chase after Syaro until after she takes off the bag.
46	* BunniesForCuteness:
47	** {{Exaggerated\|trope}}; the half-timbered town has them everywhere, on coffee houses and board games and in books. In some cases, it's the CentralTheme of this series.
48	** {{Averted\|trope}} in the city arc. The characters lampshade it has {{Cute Kitten}}s everywhere instead of bunnies. The three city girls -- Eru, Natsume, and Fuyu -- are likewise associated with cats instead of rabbits.
49	* BusmansHoliday: When Rin and Midori take a trip to the city during the city arc, Rin ends up spending the whole time corralling Midori under control, which is what she does normally. She even gets roped into working as a maid at the Royal Cats Hotel for Midori's old wet nurses[=/=]nannies when Midori goes to the casino against their wishes. When Rize asks her about it, Rin says, "It's all right. I'm on paid vacation." Ironically, when Midori slacks off working as a maid to write a manuscript, Rin yells at her to get back to cleaning.
50	* CallBack:
51	** When Cocoa first steps into Rabbit House, she says "There're no rabbits... there're no rabbits? There're no rabbits!" Later when Mocha first arrives at the shop, she internally says the same thing, only Cocoa instead of rabbits.
52	** When Chimame and the Bright Bunny Group have a sleepover, Chino's dad shoves the Rabbit Monopoly game through the door just like he did when Chino had her first sleepover.
53	** In chapter 134, Chimame notice a middle schoolers looking at them for the proper way to eat their meal, and they reminesce about the time they did the same thing to their senpai. This time, Maya turns around and yells at them to dig in.
54	* CallingYourAttacks: Chino and Rize preempt their badminton serves by shouting "'''Patriot Serve!'''" in the fifth episode of the first season.
55	* CampingEpisode: In the second season's penultimate episode, the girls spend a weekend out in a wooded area owned by Rize's father.
56	* CantHoldHerLiquor: In the second half of episode seven of the second season, Cocoa and Chino become drunk from consuming alcohol-filled chocolates.
57	* CaptainErsatz: The eponymous protagonist of Aoyama's novel ''Phantom Thief Lapin'' is based on Aoyama's image of Syaro.
58	* CassandraTruth:
59	** While walking to the park for badminton practice in episode five of the first season, Chino tells Rize that when Tippy is on her head, she has twice her normal strength. She claims she's not lying about it, but because Rize merely smiles, Chino stresses that she's not lying.
60	** When Mocha, Cocoa's older sister, first visits, she spends a little time with Aoyama. They discuss the latter's book and movie adaptation, and when Aoyama says ActuallyIAmHim, Mocha doesn't believe her, thinking Aoyama is trying to fool her. Mere moments earlier, Aoyama suggests that Mocha wear a disguise to surprise Cocoa.
61	* CentralTheme:
62	** The gratitude of being together in this world under one roof.
63	** The beauty of always creating memories for the future to enjoy.
64	** The importance of family, rather it be blood-related or not.
65	* ChildhoodFriends: Chiya and Syaro live right next to each other and have known one another since they were children.
66	* ChildishPillowFight: Cocoa and Chino have one in episode twelve of season two. Chino's father and Tippy comment on the noise they're making, with the latter commenting on how much livelier it seems.
67	* ChristmasEpisode: The eleventh episode of the first season illustrates the girls and the side characters working at Rabbit House to serve customers during this Christmas, before partaking in Christmas festivities themselves. Cocoa also secretly gives Chino a present while she's sleeping, but then falls asleep next to her, though Chino appreciates the thoughts behind the gift.
68	* CityWithNoName: The half-timbered town the manga takes place in is only ever referred to as "the half-timbered town".
69	* ClingyJealousGirl:
70	** In episode three of the first season, Syaro says she would like to make Chino her little sister. Cocoa immediately gets jealous, and proclaims that Chino is her little sister.
71	** Syaro responds coldly when Chiya emails her in episode six of the first season about Rize having a "new little sister" in Maya, one of Chino's school friends.
72	** Chino does this in episode seven of the first season, though it turns out to be an ImagineSpot by Cocoa.
73	* ColorCodedCharacters:
74	** Each of the main cast dresses in a particular color scheme, and they discover that, if they work in uniforms without their customary colours, even frequent customers like Aoyama can't recognise them.
75	*** Cocoa: orange/pink
76	*** Chino: cyan
77	*** Rize: purple
78	*** Chiya: green
79	*** Syaro: yellow
80	*** Megumi: red/pink
81	*** Maya: dark blue
82	** {{Defied\|trope}} during the city arc. When Cocoa advises the girls to try on swimsuits they'd usually never wear, Syaro wears green and Chiya wears yellow.
83	* ColorCodedCastes: In the manga, Chino remarks that a bylaw requires buildings to be coloured to denote the occupant's occupations. For instance, fishermen will need to paint their houses blue, and bakeries are pink.
84	* ComicallyMissingThePoint:
85	** At the beginning of episode seven of the first season, Syaro wishes she could be as cool and confident as Rize. She then has an ImagineSpot of having the same confidence as Rize: as she walks through a store holding a pistol, all of the other customers are understandably nervous.
86	** Near the end of episode seven of the first season, Cocoa, Rize, and Chino ask Chiya where Syaro lives because they wanted to give her some bread. Syaro then comes out of the dilapidated house next door. While Chino tries to apologize for assuming she was SecretlyWealthy, Cocoa instead asks Syaro where she lives. Syaro ends up having to point to that house she just came out of.
87	* ConnectedAllAlong: In ch. 142, the girls follow a ciste map to the beach. When they find the treasure, they discover the map was created by [[spoiler: "Usagi & Choko", the pet names Kafu Saki and Hoto Chiyoko had for each other. Cocoa and Chino fail to realize they've been literally following in their mothers' footsteps.]]
88	* ContinuityNod:
89	** In vol. 9 ch. 1, Rize explains the buttons on her school uniform are different because the originals were stolen as mementos by a flock of ravenous schoolgirls during her graduation. Syaro, who was also present, blushes beside her.
90	** In vol. 9 ch. 10, as the new school year starts, Cocoa and Chino reminesce about Cocoa's first day of high school and all the events that happened -- like how Cocoa confused Rize by getting lost constantly.
91	** In vol. 10 ch. 5, the rich girl school and the public high school hold a sports tournament. Syaro's classmates beg her to help the volleyball team since the public high school have a girl who unconsciously aims for the head and a girl who will dope others to win. Chiya and Cocoa cringe in embarrassment at their past escapades.
92	* ContrivedCoincidence: [[spoiler: Over time, it seemed like the "work/study program" that placed Cocoa at Rabbit House was a ruse, and that her mom sent her to the Kafuu family on purpose. But in ch. 144, it's revealed that, no, Cocoa being sent to live with the family of her best friend from high school was actually a complete coincidence all along.]] It's '''destiny''', we guess?
93	* CoolBigSis: The eldest in the Hoto family, Mocha fulfils this role for Cocoa and the latter's older brothers. When she is introduced in the manga, she is also seen as such by the rest of the girls.
94	* CrazyPrepared: In episode ten of the first season, when Chino tells Megu and Maya that she only has a chessboard, so only two players could participate, her father then shows up by her door and gives them a board game to play.
95	* CutenessProximity:
96	** Cocoa's heart melts when she first meets and cuddles Tippy. Several other characters are similarly drawn to him, such as a group of random girls at the pool in episode eight after Chino leaves him alone in a small washtub.
97	** Cocoa's influence leads Chino to be distracted by some wild rabbits while she's headed towards the bathhouse with Rize, Megu, and Maya during the tenth episode in season one.
98	** Mocha enjoys cuddling with everyone.
99	* CuteOversizedSleeves: Maya sports a pair of these in vol. 9 ch. 8, when she dresses in Takahiro's uniform to try and trick Megu into thinking she got a job as a bartender on April Fool's Day.
100	* DancingTheme: The second season's ending credits has Chino, Megumi, and Maya dance to the music.
101	* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: The novelist that Cocoa meets in episode six of the first season says her pen name is "Aoyama Blue Mountain". Aoyama in Japanese means "Blue mountain".
102	* DidntThinkThisThrough:
103	** In episode three of the first season, Rize says she'll call for a cab to take Syaro home after the rain begins to intensify. Chiya, remembering Syaro exclaiming she didn't want Rize to know where she lives, instead volunteers to take her. However, she attempts to carry her home, and collapses a short distance from the Rabbit House.
104	** In episode seven of the first season, the girls work on a large jigsaw puzzle. As they get closer to finishing it, Rize asks where they're going to place it. The girls are then stumped because they didn't consider what to do with it when they were done. Ultimately, they have Chino's father put it up in the coffee shop to replace an older picture of a rabbit.
105	** In episode four of season two, Cocoa and Chiya start discussing the difference between the theory of relativity, and the special theory of relativity, in an attempt to sound more grown up to Chino, Megu, and Maya. The three girls then later ask her what the difference was, but both girls just have a blank look on their faces. Rize mentions that's what they get for talking about something they had no clue about.
106	** Chino gets stuck in a sandbar and is unable to get back during the second season's eleventh episode. She waves at Maya and Rize, both of whom think she went out there on her own. Rize then assumes Chino is waving at her to join her, and dives into the river to swim towards her. She later realizes she jumped in without thinking about it while wearing regular clothes instead of swimming gear, and that she didn't realize Chino was stuck there accidentally.
107	* DiegeticSoundtrackUsage: Chiya hums a snippet of the second season's opening in episode eleven, when she and Megumi are out gathering food.
108	* DoItYourselfThemeTune: The openings for both seasons are sung by the voice actresses for Cocoa, Chino, Chiya, Rize, and Syaro, while Chino, Maya and Megu's respective voice actors perform the ending songs.
109	* DoubleBlindWhatIf: The manga takes place in a very ''non''-Japanese timber-framed town. During the April Fool's Day chapter in vol. 9, Megu hits her head and gets "transported" to a parallel world where the girls all live in the Tokyo metropolitan area, which is far more typical and true-to-life for a manga set in Japan. Yet the girls also have floating Tippy-shaped computers, which is well beyond even Japan's standards of technology. While she's in this parallel world, the others discuss Megu's recurring dreams of living in a timber-framed town. Syaro looks at her like she's crazy, while Chiya quips that a life like that has an element of romanticism to it.
110	* DreamingOfTimesGoneBy: In chapter 156, Cocoa stares into a mirror and slips back in time to see Chino's grandfather comforting her after her mother passed away.
111	* DrowningMySorrows:
112	** After Syaro reveals that she's a poor ScholarshipStudent, Chiya takes Syaro to three consecutive coffee houses in a row to drown away the latter's sorrow.
113	** Mocha chugs a glass of milk at Rabbit House during its bar hours after feeling rejected by Cocoa during the second season's sixth episode.
114	* DullEyesOfUnhappiness: Done by several of the girls from time to time, though Chino uses it the most, usually after disapproving of something Cocoa says or did.
115	* EarlyBirdCameo: In the anime's first season's opening, Aoyama makes an appearance at the 00:51 mark, well before she's formally introduced in the sixth episode of the first season.
116	* EdibleThemeNaming: All of the characters are named after a beverage of some sort, with their [[https://infinitemirai.wordpress.com/2015/08/04/can-i-take-your-order-what-the-girls-personalities-in-gochumon-wa-usagi-desu-ka-say-about-their-namesakes-palate/ personalities being inspired by their namesake's attributes]].
117	** Cocoa's cheerful, bubbly personality mirrors hot cocoa's sweet taste and familiarity.
118	** Chino is mature and slow to warm up to people, much like how cappucino is bitter and takes a bit of skill to properly prepare.
119	** Rize's dual interests in cute and military themes is reflected in the Thé des Alizés tea's incorporation of a down-to-earth green tea with fruit to yield an interesting flavour combination.
120	** Chiya is a YamatoNadeshiko representing the beauty and simplicity of the Uji Matcha tea.
121	** Syaro's personality is inspired by the complex flavours in Kilimanjaro coffee.
122	** Maya is quite boisterious, and named after Jogmaya tea, a variant of Darjeeling tea, which has a light and floral flavour.
123	** Megu's friendship helps Chino become more open; she's named after nutmeg, which is commonly added to various beverages to enhance their flavours.
124	** Aoyama is mysterious, refined but also childish at times. She's named after Jamaica's Blue Mountain coffee, which has a mild, nutty flavour that also lacks the bitterness of other coffees.
125	** Cocoa's older sister, Mocha, has a similar personality but is but is otherwise more mature. Caffè mocha is essentially cocoa with a shot of espresso, retaining all of the sweetness of cocoa, but with added bite.
126	* ElaborateUniversityHigh: Maya compares Rize and Syaro's high school to castles in Eastern [=RPGs=]. Its main hall looks like an opera house, and it grounds is akin to an European palace. In addition, its students use very formal language to one another.
127	* EmbarrassingFirstName: Aoyoma's actual first name is [[spoiler: Midori]]. It's sufficiently embarrassing such that it's enough to motivate her when one of the juniors from her literature club, now an editor, threatens to refer to Aoyoma by this name should the latter fails to submit her manuscript for review.
128	* EmbarrassingNickname:
129	** Rize suggests calling the trio Chino, Maya and Megu by a truncated version of their names. By taking the first syllable to everyone's names, Rize comes up with "[=ChiMaMe=]" ('''Chi'''no, '''Ma'''ya, and '''Me'''gumi). However, Maya and Megu immediately reject this, and even Chino finds it unflattering. This stems from the fact that "Chimame" (血豆) translates to "blood blister". While all three find the name embarassing, they do come to embrace it.
130	** Later, Rize dubs Maya, Megu, and their {{Mirror Character}}s Natsume and Elu as the [=MaMeNaE=], or "Pea Sprouts".
131	* EntertaininglyWrong: In chapter 160, Fuyu crosses paths with Mocha as she tries to stay hidden from Cocoa and comes to the most sensible conclusion: she's Cocoa from the future and she needs to avoid creating a time paradox by meeting her past self.
132	* EpicFail:
133	** In the fifth episode of the first season, Cocoa completely misses the shuttlecock in episode five when Chino serves it to her, despite maintaining an air of confidence.
134	** Later in the same episode, Chino attempts to use a badminton move Rize taught her. It looks cool and she develops a BattleAura, but ultimately [[spoiler: hits the shuttlecock into the net, where it becomes it stuck. Chino subsequently passes out from expending all of her energy]].
135	** One of Cocoa's attempt to flip a pancake in the air in episode seven of the first season ends with said pancake landing on. In the same episode, she misspells "Rabbit House" on a flyer as "Rabbit Horse".
136	* EpisodeTitleCard: The anime uses them, but there's no consistent time in which they show up. It could be right after the opening, at the halfway point, or right before the credits.
137	* EveryoneCallsHerBarkeep: The ClassRepresentative of Cocoa and Chiya's class is only only known as "Class Representative," even in such formal situations as an election. Even when she becomes Student Council President, they continue to call her Class Rep.
138	* EvolvingCredits:
139	** The cards seen in the ending vary slightly: more girls as they are introduced in the show as the season progresses.
140	** In episodes eight and nine of the first season, it switches from blue to red cards about halfway through, with multiple cards being shown at once instead of one at a time. Additionally, at the end of episode eight of the first season, instead of Chino's father and Tippy at the end, it's Aoyama and Tippy. He doesn't say anything, and instead just turns around and notices it's not his son.
141	** In episode ten of the first season, it reverts back to the original ending, though it doesn't always shows face cards initially. A couple of cards then drop on top of it until one of the correct cards is seen, then the rotation begins again until a set of Royal Straight Flushes with two Jokers (containing all girls) is completed. Chino also pops up at the next episode preview, when Tippy mentions wanting a quiet Christmas to announce they were throwing a Christmas party next episode.
142	** During episode eleven of the first season's ending, the red and blue cards are shown simultaneously, along with the face of the cards on a third deck. After a short while only one card is seen, and it rotates between the face cards with the various girls on them. Additionally the background is Christmas-themed and switches images occasionally.
143	** Chino, Maya and Megu individually play a game of RockPaperScissors with the viewers at the close to the ending sequence in the second season.
144	* FailedASpotCheck:
145	** Whenever Tippy speaks with anyone other than Chino or her father, this is PlayedForLaughs, as the other characters assume Chino is using ventriloquism.
146	** Chino and Cocoa fail to recognise "Rose" as Rize (with her hair down wearing normal girl's clothing) on two separate occasions; the first instance is in episode six of the first season while the latter was simply walking down the street, and later in Chiya's tea shop in episode six. Rize does not bother to correct them on either occasion.
147	** This is PlayedForLaughs in episode ten of the first season: after Chino and Maya both put on twintails and stand next to Rize, Megu claims she can't tell who the real "Rize" is. The latter [[LampshadeHanging remarks]] that she doesn't have to play dumb.
148	* FamilyBusiness: Rabbit House and Ama Usa An are both family-owned, with the owning families operating the stores.
149	* FanserviceWithASmile: The cast originally imagine Fleur de Lapin to be a seedy place partly because of that café's seemingly risque uniforms based on the flier's portrayal, but later learn that the uniforms are maid outfits with lop bunny ears added to the headdress.
150	* FeudEpisode:
151	** Cocoa and Chino become more distant than usual when Cocoa finished a puzzle Chino was slowly working on and a piece goes missing, although they later reconcile.
152	** Chiya becomes distressed when Cocoa seemed unconcerned about the possibility of the two being split up in the new year. As it turns out, Chiya asked the question in an extremely indirect manner, and Cocoa was unaware that Chiya had been upset with her.
153	* FirstEpisodeTwist: Tippy is [[spoiler:Chino's grandfather]].
154	* FlashBack:
155	** The beginning of episode nine shows Chino's grandfather when he [[spoiler: was still alive]], sitting on a park bench with his pet rabbit Tippy. He then sees a young Cocoa who sits next to him while hugging Tippy, and her older sister can be seen as she leaves the bench a short while later.
156	** Chapter 135 elaborates on what happened before that, showing how Cocoa came to arrive in the half-timbered town as a girl.
157	** Megu and Maya tell Cocoa how they met Chino at school in episode twelve of season two, and how they took her along with one of their treasure hunts. Cocoa wonders if the two girls purposely took a long time because they wanted to get to know Chino better.
158	* ForgottenFirstMeeting: Chapter 135 elaborates on how [[spoiler: Cocoa met Chino's mother when she was young.]] When Cocoa wakes up from her dream, she comments on how she forgot all about the incident (without realizing who the other person is).
159	* ForgotTheirOwnBirthday: In vol. 9 ch. 13, Cocoa is so busy trying to throw a party to celebrate the new school year she forgets its opening day falls on her birthday, April 10th. Luckily for her, her friends all remembered and offer a toast not only to her birthday, but the second anniversary of her moving to the half-timbered town.
160	* {{Foreshadowing}}:
161	** At the end of vol. 7, right before the girls leave for the city, Cocoa points out there's a building under construction. When they return a volume and a half later, it's revealed to be the new Bright Bunny location.
162	** In vol. 9 ch. 9, Megu and Maya angst about being placed into different classes in high school and making new friends. In the end, they resolve to become friends with each others' new friends. This foreshadows the fact that the Ginger twins they met in the city will become their new classmates.
163	* FourLinesAllWaiting: After the city arc, the manga added ''four'' new characters to the main ensemble, while keeping all of the old ones (minus [[spoiler: Chino's grandfather, who ascends to heaven]]). So now we have the original five girls, Maya and Megu, Aoyama-sensei, and the Bright Bunny group (Fuyu, the Ginger girls, and Yura) to keep track of, and the way all their stories weave together with all the others', while only getting a single eight-page chapter every month.
164	* FreezeFrameBonus: In vol. 8 ch. 6, the Ginger twins can be seen sitting behind Megumi and Syaro at the ballet.
165	* FriendshipTrinket: The little crown ornament on Anko's head signifies Chiya and Ayaro's friendship. The ninth episode of the third season is mainly about Chiya (briefly) losing it.
166	* FunnyBackgroundEvent:
167	** In episode nine, after Syaro snaps out of her depression in Chiya's tea shop, Anko, the latter's pet rabbit, starts to fall off Syaro's head and clings onto her shoulder/arm. It then grabs hold of her hand and starts to nibble on it while she's talking to Rize and Chiya. The comedic factor is compounded by the fact that Syaro normally fears rabbits, but completely ignores it during this scene.
168	** When Syaro disappoints Rize after failing to give any useful information after Rize's questioning, she hits herself on the head with her serving tray until she becomes dazed, emitting a high-pitched sound. Syaro continues to do so in the background after the others have moved on to another person to question.
169	* FunWithHomophones: In chapter 143, when Fuyu announces her intention to dominate the Ginger twins in chess, Natsume replies "Such a serious aura!?" When Yura creeps up behind Fuyu, the text around her then says "Serious Yura".
170	* GarageSale: Season three's first episode sees Cocoa, Rize and Chino running a stall at a local flea market to sell unused items from Rabbit House.
171	* GhostStory: Two are shared in episode three. The first by Chino, but for Rize and Cocoa, it's obvious she's referring to Tippy. Chiya shares one too, but the scene cuts from the beginning of it to the very end, and audiences only see the ThousandYardStare on the girls' faces.
172	* GotVolunteered: Megu and Maya do this to Chino when they first met at school in a FlashBack shown in episode twelve of season two. They raise her arms in unison and claim that they obtained another member.
173	* GratuitousEnglish:
174	** Cocoa uses the term "sister complex" in episode two without fully understanding what the term entails
175	** Chino says "Simple is best" when Cocoa comments that the mugs they use for the coffee shop is really ordinary looking.
176	** In episode ten, Syaro tries to help Cocoa and Chiya study for an English test. She wonders why they fail to pronounce simple words such as "like", whereas Cocoa can say "coffee" without difficulty and Chiya does the same with "green tea."
177	** In episode twelve of the second season, Cocoa says "me?" at two different points when someone points out that the pictures she's holding is of her. Mocha additionally doesn't recognize Cocoa in a picture, and after it's pointed out by their mother, she says "My sister?"
178	* GratuitousGerman: Numerous shops in the town have German names.
179	* {{Handguns}}: Rize appears to be able to practise concealed carry with her Glock despite being under-aged, but later episodes suggest that this is a model gun.
180	* HeadButtThermometer: Chino does this to Cocoa in episode twelve, and learns that she's got a fever.
181	* HeadPet:
182	** Cocoa does this briefly with Anko in episode four. He also sits on Syaro's head as well when Cocoa and Chiya visit her tea shop.
183	** During the first season's sixth episode, while visiting Chiya's tea shop, Chino puts Anko, the former's pet rabbit, on her head while talking about being lonely.
184	** Anko uses Syaro's head briefly in episode nine after she goes through a brief HeroicBSOD.
185	* HellHotel: The Royal Cats Hotel from the city arc makes everybody who sees it yelp in fear. It's old and gothic and run by two not-all-there old ladies, but Aoyama-sensei vouches for it since the co-proprietors were her old wet nurses.
186	* HeroicBSOD: Cocoa suffers one right before her sister comes to visit her working at Rabbit House.
187	* HoistByTheirOwnPetard:
188	** After everyone worked hard on laundry, Chiya prepares green tea as refreshments. However, she added a glass of vegetable juice into the mix for fun. She ends up with the vegetable juice.
189	** After Cocoa notices Chino, Megu, and Maya observing them in episode four of season two, she and Chiya attempt to discuss "grown up topics", such as the theory of relativity. When asked about the differences between general and special relativity, neither Cocoa or Chiya are able to answer, prompting Rize to quip that they had it coming.
190	* HorribleCampingTrip: Rize thinks this happens in episode eleven of season two. She was planning on taking the girls out to have some fun out in the woods. Unfortunately things don't go very well for her, as her father didn't pack any food for them in a container that was clearly labeled food. They also don't have enough beds in the cabin, but mysteriously enough, some sleeping tents and sleeping bags, prompting the girls to camp outdoors for the night. Despite this, the girls improvised and had a lot of fun anyway, such as fishing and foraging for the food, and watching the stars at night.
191	* HostageSituation: This is PlayedForLaughs in episode ten when Aoyama holds up Tippy, with the water gun Megu gave her, during their water gun fight at the pool.
192	* HotSpringsEpisode: Episode eight doubles as a BeachEpisode, with the girls visit a hot springs that also has a swimming pool.
193	* HypocriticalHumor:
194	** When Cocoa first meets Rize, the latter points a gun at her. She then thinks Cocoa isn't really a high school student and is up to no good. Cocoa, for her part, wonders who's really the more dangerous threat at the moment.
195	** Cocoa comments that Rize and Chino both have cool talents, and wishes she had something like that. She then looks at Chino's homework, and tells her the answers. Rize then asks her a difficult math question, and she answers it instantly. Then Cocoa goes back to lamenting about not having any talents whatsoever.
196	** In episode twelve, Cocoa and Chiya run into Rize and Syaro at the market despite there being a large crowd. Chiya jokes she found Syaro due to smelling the herbs from the shop she works at. Syaro then immediately starts to sniff herself, and Rize tells her not to take it so seriously. Cocoa then mentions being able to smell gunpowder on Rize, causing her to also sniff herself. Cocoa then also mentions she was joking.
197	** Syaro expresses surprise that Cocoa and Chino became drunk after eating chocolates with alcohol in them. Rize counters that Syaro gets drunk off of caffeine.
198	** Mocha, Cocoa's older sister, shows up to Rabbit House wearing a paper mask and dark shades. Later, Cocoa comes back wearing the same exact disguise, prompting her sister to comment at how silly said disguise looks. She is called out on it immediately by Rize, who says she was using the same exact disguise just moments earlier.
199	* IWillFightSomeMoreForever: [[MilitaryBrat Rize]] declares she is ready to do whatever it takes to win in [[SeriousBusiness clothes shopping]] after she's too exhausted by the heat to stand up straight during the third season's opening episode.
200	* IgnoringBySinging: When Aoyama's editor tracks her down and chastises her for missing her deadline, Aoyama covers her ears and says "Ahhhhhhhh~" to drown her editor out.
201	* ImagineSpot: The characters have a propensity to imagine things in response to something another character said.
202	** A couple happen in the first episode, such as when Cocoa thought Rabbit House was literally a place to play with rabbits, and Rize imagining herself wearing a PlayboyBunny outfit.
203	** Rize does this in episode three, imagining herself in a PlayboyBunny costume, except this time with a floppy-eared headband like the one worn by Syaro. She decides that it works equally well.
204	* ImprobablyFemaleCast: There are only two male characters of any importance, Chino's father and grandfather. Her father isn't seen too often, and Tippy is mostly silent, serving more as a mascot than an actual character.
205	* ImTakingHerHomeWithMe: In episode three, Syaro jokingly suggests taking Chino home with her and making her a little sister. Cocoa [[ClingyJealousGirl doesn't take that]] too well, and claims Chino is her little sister.
206	* InAnotherMansShoes: When Natsume is pretending to be Chino's little sister in chapter 158 and calls her [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseHonorifics "nee-sama"]], Chino is suddenly empowered and flush with energy. Chino claims she now understands how it feels to be Cocoa.
207	* InMediasRes: The fourth episode of season three explains Cocoa and Chiya's appearance in Rize and Syaro's school by starting with a flashback of Cocoa and Chiya's class meeting on how to improve their SchoolFestival exhibit.
208	* TheInfiltration: Treated like SeriousBusiness in episode three, after Chiya shows an advertisement flyer to the other girls of where Syaro works, and thinks it's a seedy place. They all attempt to peek in the café to see what kind of illegitimate business dealings go on in there, only for them to find out it's a regular tea café, and Syaro spots them peeking through the window immediately.
209	* InstantBandages: Cocoa sports one after she bumps into a cabinet in episode three while shopping for mugs.
210	* InternalReveal: In chapter 144, Chino finally learns [[spoiler:her mom was best friends with Cocoa's mom]], a revelation Koi have been teasing their audience with for years.
211	* IntoxicationEnsues: The plot in the second half of episode seven of the second season involves Cocoa and Chino getting drunk off alcohol-filled chocolates.
212	* ItsAllMyFault: Cocoa bops Chino on the head in episode eleven of season two, after the latter got stuck in a sandbar island while attempting to retrieve Cocoa's hat which flew off her head, which she also managed to catch a fish in the process. Though Chino is a little upset that she made Cocoa worry instead of the other way around, she then sees Cocoa repeatedly hitting herself over the head for leaving Chino out of her sights.
213	* {{Iyashikei}}: The girls' experiences in their everyday lives are peaceful and soothing.
214	* JapaneseRanguage: In a Flashback during episode twelve of season two, Megu and Maya tell Cocoa bout how they first met Chino. She introduces herself, then says she wants to be a barista. Maya asks Megu what that is, and Megu assumed Chino said "ballista", as in the siege weapon. Even Cocoa thinks that until Chino clears up the confusion and says she wants to serve coffee, not destroy the world as Megu thought.
215	* KitschyThemedRestaurant: Fleur de Lapin starts off more similar to a CosplayCafe, but as the series progresses, it becomes more family friendly and thus into this trope.
216	* LaserGuidedKarma: During their camping trip Rize makes a wish on a shooting star that whoever screwed up her plans for the camping trip, such as not packing any food in a container clearly labeled "food", gets some karmic backlash. The scene immediately cuts to a drink her father was having at Rabbit House suddenly spilling completely on its own. Chino's father mentions this probably happened because someone wished for it, prompting Rize's father to say sometimes it's better if things don't go as planned, indicating he purposely sabotaged her plans for the camping trip. Fortunately for Rize, the girls tell her they had a lot of fun despite the supposed setbacks.
217	* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: Cocoa's mother is seen in the last episode of season two after Chino sends pictures of the camping trip from episode eleven to Mocha.
218	* LateForSchool: Cocoa at first thinks she's going to be late, but Chiya points out that their school doesn't start until the next day. She [[HighPressureEmotion turns red]] from embarrassment after finding out.
219	* LettingTheAirOutOfTheBand: The background music fades out when a touching moment is ruined by a mistimed or misinterpreted event.
220	* LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain: In vol. 8 ch. 6, Syaro helps Megu pick out a pair of shoes and proudly remarks they'll be Senpai/Kohai at the same school soon.
221	--> '''Syaro''': Leave everything to your onee-san!
222	--> '''Megu''': Okay! You sounded like Cocoa just now.
223	--> '''Syaro''': [''grimacing''] Let's just pretend this never happened.
224	--> '''Megu''': Why?!
225	* LuminescentBlush: The normally reserved Chino blushes bright red after she spends a segment acting like a little sister around the others.
226	* MagicalRealism: Several characters appear as ghosts, and later [[spoiler: they ascend to Heaven together]], but beyond that it's an ordinary SliceOfLife show about schoolgirls living out their lives.
227	* MaleGaze: The camera is conveniently placed to show off the girls in their swimsuits during the eighth episode, and it seems to focus heavily on the lower half of Syaro's maid outfit from time to time.
228	* MonkeyMoralityPose: The Chimame pull this in vol. 8 ch. 13, when they try and "forget" that Cocoa blurted out the fact that their ''senpai'' got them a present.
229	* MundaneMadeAwesome:
230	** While teaching Cocoa how to make latte art, Rize flips the milk and coffee with grand gestures, then stirring as she's making the art.
231	** The girls hilariously turn a simple outing of practicing for a sports event in episode five into a life-and-death event.
232	* MutualEnvy: Rize envies Syaro's {{ojou}} mannerisms and wants to be more feminine, while Syaro envies Rize's cool and confident personality.
233	* NakedFirstImpression: Cocoa first meets Rize when the latter is clad in naught but her underwear.
234	* NewJobAsThePlotDemands: Megu, Maya, Elu, and Natsume have permanent jobs at Amausa An (Megu and Elu) and Fleur de Lapin (Maya and Natsume). However, they also tend to work everywhere else when a chapter requires it, like Megu and Elu working at Fleur because they need to work off their bill or Maya and Megu covering for Cocoa and Chino at Rabbit House during their vacation. In chapter 154, during the school festival, the visiting Elu and Natsume take over for Chino at her class cafe (at a school they ''don't even go to'') so Chino can enjoy the festival with Maya and Megu.
235	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Rize hits a badminton shuttlecock so hard in episode five that the racket slips out of her hand, bounces off a tree, and smashes through a nearby window in her house then breaks one of her father's prized wine bottles.
236	* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: In episode six during season one, when Cocoa learnt about Aoyama, she fancies herself as being "the neighbourhood international barista lawyer who bake pastries while pursuing the path of a novelist." This also serves as a ContinuityNod, as she's imagined as being everything sans the novelist point in episode three.
237	* NoodleIncident: After Chino tries asking Cocoa her how school day went in the second episode, the latter keeps changing the subject, but then eventually just tells her to stop asking in light of Chino's persistence.
238	* NotSoAboveItAll: In episode three, after Cocoa dons Chino's school uniform, Syaro sees Rize wearing it as well. Out of embarrassment, Rize hides behind the curtains and claims that she lost at RockPaperScissors.
239	* NotWhatItLooksLike: In episode seven, two girls enter Chiya's café. One of them has a BrownBagMask, while the other is openly wielding a pistol. She immediately assumes she's being robbed until Cocoa, who was holding the pistol, reveals why they had those things on them.
240	* OhCrap:
241	** Chino has this look on her face when she, Rize, and Cocoa find out Syaro lives next door to Chiya's shop in episode seven.
242	** Syaro reacts in this manner when she realises the parallels between her job of handing out flyers on a cold Christmas day and the classic, but [[DownerEnding tragic]], story [[Literature/TheLittleMatchGirl The Little Match Girl]]
243	* OneSizeFitsAll: Despite having fairly different body sizes, Cocoa's work uniform fits both the larger Aoyama and smaller Megu reasonably well when they're seen wearing it. This also occurs when Maya wears Rize's outfit.
244	* OnlySaneMan: Chino frequently remarks on the ridiculousness of some of the things that her friends say or do.
245	* OvershadowedByAwesome: During a practice volleyball match, Rize plays with enough enthusiasm such that her partner, Chiya, begins to feel like TheLoad, and simply cheers for her as she plays, leaving Rize to wonder what happened.
246	* PaperFanOfDoom: In episode ten, Chiya asks Syaro to hit her and Cocoa with one should either of them become distracted from studying. Though they do end up not studying much, Syaro never uses it, and instead just wants to go home.
247	* PaperThinDisguise:
248	** "Rose" is Rize with her hair down and styled, sporting a more feminine blouse and skirt. However, this is sufficient to deceive Cocoa and Chino, who nonetheless find "Rose" curiously familiar.
249	** Mocha attempts this after Aoyama suggested she go into Rabbit House with a disguise. Unfortunately she just wears a breathing mask and dark shades, and Cocoa isn't in the cafe when she arrives. Instead, she just creeps out both Rize and Chino, who assume she must be a drug dealer, especially after she complains about the bread's flavor and pulls out a large bag of flour, which to the other girls looks suspiciously like cocaine.
250	** Cocoa also attempts a similar disguise a few moments later using the same disguise, but is immediately recognized by Mocha.
251	* ParentalAbandonment: This is ultimately averted in a conversation between Cocoa and Chino when the former asks the latter where Chino's guardian is at. Chino says the store used to belong to her late grandfather, prompting the Cocoa to offer her condolences, but Chino follows up and notes that she lives with her father. He's seen at the end of the day, getting ready to run Rabbit House at night as a bar.
252	* PlayingATree: Chino says she was a tree in a play during episode nine when Cocoa asks if she's ever had a role before in a play, remarking the best part about being a tree is that they're quiet.
253	* PleaseDontLeaveMe: In episode nine during the first season, both Chino and Cocoa worry that Rize might enjoy acting to the extent that she would quit working at the Rabbit House and join the theater club. Fortunately for them, while Rize says she enjoys it, she doesn't plan to make a career out of it.
254	* PredatoryBusiness: Bright Bunny tries to buy out ''Fleur de Lapin'' in vol. 10 ch. 8, troubling Syaro, Elu, and Megumi (who are temporarily working there since they didn't have the money to pay for dinner). However, Elu -- who spent the whole chapter worrying she wasn't big sister material -- grows a spine and puts the kaput on it by calling her father (the president of Bright Bunny) to get them to stop.
255	* PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy: In vol. 8 chapter 6, Megumi tries to dress "street" because she's been told it's the style in the city, and it is absolutely adorable.
256	* PrettyFreeloaders: This is averted with Cocoa, given that one of the terms for staying at Rabbit House is to assist with household chores and help run the café. Interestingly, while she's more than willing to help and is generally competent, but Chino constantly tries to do at least the chores by herself.
257	* PuniPlush: This is not particularly surprising, provided that ''[=GochiUsa=]'' is published in ''Kirara''.
258	* PygmalionPlot: {{Invoked\|Trope}}. In chapter 149, Natsume and Megu are both up for a role in ''[[Theatre/MyFairLady My Favorite Lady]]'', a musical adaptation of the trope namer. Since Megu is a country girl and Natsume is a city girl, they decide to teach other how to embody both sides of the heroine's perdonality, so they have a better shot at winning the lead.
259	* QuakingWithFear: Both Rize and Syaro quake in fear after the reveal that Maya is [[SmarterThanYouLook academically very strong despite acting like a energetic bonehead]].
260	* QuestioningTitle: The manga is titled "Is the order a rabbit'''?'''", and the title to season two adds one additional question mark.
261	* RealityIsUnrealistic: While shopping for coffee mugs in episode three, Cocoa thinks Tippy sitting inside a teacup would look really cute. Rize comments that there aren't any mugs that big, but then Chino finds one. However, when they put Tippy in it, they find that the result resembles a bowl of rice.
262	* RealPlaceBackground: The locations seen in the show are inspired by [[https://infinitemirai.wordpress.com/2015/11/01/colmar-france-home-of-gochuumon-wa-usagi-desu-ka/ Colmar]], a town in the Alsace region of France. The pool that the girls visit are based on Budapest’s Széchenyi thermal bath.
263	* RecognitionFailure: Hilariously both Cocoa and her sister Mocha fail to realize that the girl in one of the pictures Chino took at their camping trip is of her. Justified however, because Cocoa was usually doing something silly in every shot she was in, so the "normal" one of her seemed out of place by comparison.
264	* RedOniBlueOni: Cocoa, Chiya, Chino, and Fuyu in high school. Cocoa and Chiya wear red uniforms, have warm-colored hair, and are nurturing and bubbly. Chino and Fuyu wear blue uniforms, have cool-colored hair, and are reserved and taciturn.
265	* RescueRomance: Syaro's recollection is that Rize saved her from some thugs in a dark alley in episode three, but Rize explains that Syaro actualy had encountered a feral rabbit and didn't want to go near it for fear of getting bitten, and she shoos it away for her. In either case, Syaro developed a crush on Rize as a result.
266	* SchoolSportUniform: The school Rize and Syaro attend has its girls wear bloomers during physical activities. It's a per-school thing in the town, as in the school Chino attends, the girls wear longer shorts or pants.
267	* SchoolgirlSeries: [[DownplayedTrope This is downplayed]]; while the main characters are schoolgirls, scenes set at school are rare and moreover, the girls attend different schools. Instead, the series focuses on their time outside of classes.
268	* SecretlyWealthy: Due to the way she acts and looks, Cocoa and Chino assume that Syaro is a rich girl when they first meet her in episode three. In actuality, [[spoiler: [[SubvertedTrope Syaro lives in a dilapidated house]] adjacent to Chiya's café]].
269	* SerialEscalation: In episode eight, Rize has an ImagineSpot where she first shoots clay pigeons with a small hunting rifle. After taking a sip of coffee, then shoots down multiples in quick succession with an anti-materiel rifle.
270	* SeriousBusiness:
271	** The stakes for a chess game between Chiya and Chino in episode eight escalate after the former makes a bet that if she wins, Chino has to dip Tippy in the water so she can see what he looks like wet. Chino, meanwhile, makes a bet that if she wins, Cocoa has to call her "big sister". Naturally Tippy wants Chino to win, and Cocoa wants Chiya to win, and both "encourage" their respective players so much that the two can't play very well. Ultimately, [[spoiler: Chino wins, as Cocoa calls her "big sister" in one scene shortly after]].
272	** Chino and Cocoa become worried Rize might quit to pursue acting full time in episode nine, after the latter goes to Chiya's tea shop to learn how to act more womanly. Cocoa then gets jealous that Chino respects "Rose", actually just Rize with her hair down, more than her, and runs off crying, completely forgetting about Rize.
273	** In vol. 9 ch. 3, Maya, Megu, Elu, and Natsume all notice Chino and Cocoa are taking the pillow fight way too seriously, as a way to release their pent-up frustrations.
274	* SevenDeadlySins: In chapter 134, we discover that Aoyama-sensei's latest novel stars thinly-veiled caricatures of the girls as demons representing the seven deadly sins.
275	** ''Greed'': Cocoa wants to make the whole world into her little sisters.
276	** ''Wrath'': Sharo will outright contradict herself as an excuse to berate others.
277	** ''Pride'': Chiya is determined to expand operations until it includes world domination.
278	** ''Gluttony'': Rize's appetite for fluffy things is insatiable.
279	** ''Sloth'': Maya just wants to lounge on the couch all day long.
280	** ''Lust'': Megu's charms have attracted a legion of fans who do her bidding.
281	** ''Envy'': Chino wants to keep you all to herself, but she'll never admit it.
282	* SheCleansUpNicely:
283	** In the first season's sixth episode, Chino and Cocoa spot Rize checking out some clothing while they're walking around town. They don't bother her, and later in the evening, they run into a girl that Chino at first assumes is Rize with her hair down instead of her usual pigtails. The girl turns around surprised, but then the two girls assume she must not be Rize, and walk away. However, Tippy realizes that it was Rize, but had chosen not to reveal herself to Chino and Cocoa.
284	** Cocoa fails to recognize herself in one picture during episode twelve of season two. It's because she looks rather mature in that shot, whereas every other picture of her has her goofing off or making a silly pose. She later wonders if that version of Cocoa was the one Chino preferred, and even suffers a brief HeroicBSOD until Chino clears up the matter.
285	* ShoutOut:

291	** Season Two:

293	*** In episode two, after Rize declares that she'll help Syaro with the ghost problem, symbols resembling the ''Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}}'' logo appear beside her.

296	*** In episode twelve, after Megu, Maya, and Chino crawl through a tiny hole to get to a treasure, Cocoa stays behind because she's too big to fit in. She suddenly starts referring them as "hobbits", and tells them to go on [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings their journey]].

300	** In chapter 149, Natsume and Megu practice for a role in ''[[Theatre/MyFairLady My Favorite Lady]]''.
301	* ShowWithinAShow: ''PhantomThief [[Literature/ArseneLupin Lapin]]'' is Aoyama's latest work and became immensely popular in-universe, receiving a TV show. The book starring a character [[CaptainErsatz resembling Syaro]].
302	* SickEpisode: The season one finale has both Cocoa and Syaro becoming sick with colds. Chino and Chiya take care of them, respectively. Chino subsequently falls ill with the mumps.
303	* SillyMeGesture: During the school festival in chapter 154, Cocoa and Chino accidentally swap top hats. Chino's top hat is for Mad Hatter cosplay at her class's cafe while Cocoa's is part of her class's stage magic routine and is full of props. When Cocoa is about to go on and realizes she has Chino's top hat, she tells her classmates she's forgotten how to do magic while knocking her skull and sticking her tongue out.
304	* SleepCute: Cocoa and Mocha both fall asleep at the side of the bed at the end of the second season's sixth episode. Chino joins them shortly after.
305	* SliceOfLife: ''[=GochiUsa=]'' deals with daily life in and around coffee shops.

307	* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Rize is seen as "Lize" in some translations, such as Crunchyroll's. Sentai Filmworks flip-flops between both, initially using "Lize". However, this was later revised to "Rize", but their apparent use of a search-and-replace resulted in errors such as "speciaRize" appearing in some episodes.
308	* StealthHiBye: Aoyama does this during the tenth episode, when Chino is talking to Tippy whilst playing a game of chess. When she hears her grandfather talking in an unusually feminine voice, she wonders if his voice changed, but then sees Aoyama sitting right next to them.
309	* StrongerThanTheyLook: Despite being depicted as having a relatively slender build, Rize is seen effortlessly carrying things that Cocoa struggles with. Because she wants to be seen as a normal girl, she tries to downplay this.
310	* SuddenVideoGameMoment: In episode three when Rize reflects her liking to junk food and sample rations, icons of rations with descriptions and health bars appears on the screen.
311	* SugarBowl: With the setting being a peaceful, tranquil, picturesque town where the wildlife consists mostly of bunnies, the atmosphere remains adorable even during the few times in this story where a character is frightened or upset. This accounts for why ''[=GochiUsa=]'' eventually became the second best-selling ''Kirara'' series after ''Manga/KOn'': such a setting provides better {{escapism}} than the generic Japanese towns used by many {{Iyashikei}} series.
312	* SuperDrowningSkills: Rize isn't a good swimmer at first in episode eight due to not having any swim classes at school. However, Syaro manages to teach her enough of the basics that she can swim somewhat in a short period of time.
313	* SuperReflexes: Chiya is surprisingly nimble and dodges all the balls being tossed at her in episode five.
314	* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial:
315	** Syaro bumps into something while attempting to go to the bathroom at Chino's house. Initially frightened, she then sees Rize sitting on the floor, who says her candle burned out and she didn't want to move, but then claims is not what happened there.
316	** When Rize asks Syaro why she's working a part time job in episode five, the latter [[HighPressureEmotion turns red]] and replies it's not because she needs the money or anything.
317	* TakeAThirdOption: There are two examples in episode seven:
318	** Cocoa notices that Chiya has a hole in her tights along with a bloodied knee due to tripping. Cocoa asks if she'd rather just put a bandage on it, or color her skin black with a marker to match the tights. Chiya's response is to simply take off her tights whilst in public.
319	** Chino later mentions having a problem, with both Cocoa and Rize offering to give her some advice. Moments later, she's talking to Tippy instead, leaving both Cocoa and Rize dejected.
320	* TemptingFate:
321	** In episode four, while having lunch with Chiya outside, Cocoa says she's really proud of the lunch she made and couldn't wait to eat it. Anko, Chiya's pet rabbit, then falls out of the sky and lands right on top of her lunch. Chiya explains that Anko occasionally gets carried off by crows to explain the unusual situation. Cocoa also drops the croquette she buys at the school caféteria moments later after saying she wanted to try it.
322	** After Cocoa tells Rize about the misspelled name of the café ("Rabbit Horse" instead of "Rabbit House") in episode seven, the latter says they'll fix the flyers right away. Then a gust of wind blows and several of the flyers go up in the air.
323	** In episode twelve, Cocoa worries she might pass her cold onto Chino. The latter says she's tough, having been trained by Rize. In the next scene, she's come down with a case of the mumps.
324	** In episode four of season two, Cocoa has the girls draw lots to see where each of them would sit at a large table. Rize tells her she better not have rigged it so that she gets to sit by Megu, Maya, and Chino. Cocoa says it's completely impartial, only to then end up sitting at the seat furthest from them.
325	* ThousandYardStare:
326	** Chino displays them in episode seven after getting upset at Cocoa for various things she did that episode, such as attempting to give her TheGlomp.
327	** Syaro's eyes dull after opening the door to Chiya's tea shop, only to see a scary looking mask staring at her the moment she opens the door.
328	** Cocoa shows some in episode four of season two after getting a letter from her older sister saying she was coming for a visit.
329	* TrainingFromHell: In episode five, Chino asks if Rize could help her with sports for an upcoming sports event at her school. Rize says she'll be glad to help, and will train her very well. Chino then backs down, saying she doesn't want to be killed on the assumption training with Rize would be highly intense.
330	* TreasureHuntEpisode: Episode twelve in season two has one, after Cocoa finds a hidden treasure map behind one of the pictures in the cafe. She doesn't finish the first one since she couldn't fit in the hole to get to the treasure, but Chino makes her a second map which she does finish.
331	* TheTriple: In episode five, Syaro says buying stuff with money one's earned makes the items more enjoyable. While she was referring to a glass cup, makeup, and a glass bottle, Rize says she knows what the former means. The items she's referring to includes a bayonet, an assault rifle and a tank.
332	* TrouserSpace: Given that Rize does not appear to have a hoister for her pistol, this is presumably how she carries said pistol around.
333	* {{Tsundere}}:
334	** Chino is generally cold towards Cocoa and unreceptive of her, but there are moments where she genuinely expresses concern for her well-being.
335	** In vol. 10 ch. 4, Chiya asks Syaro to help mend a (supposed) rift between Cocoa and Chino on the basis that they need the input of a Tsundere like Chino.
336	* TyopOnTheCover: InUniverse. In episode seven, Cocoa has created fliers to advertise "Rabbit House". However, a misspelling results in the flier reading as "Rabbit Horse" instead. Chino catches it and then regrets not proofreading it first, and Rize notes she didn't even realize it until they pointed it out.
337	* UnfinishedBusiness: In chapter 145, [[spoiler: after Chino's grandfather finally hears what he needed to hear Chino say, he departs this world and joins Saki in the afterlife.]]
338	* VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory: In episode eight, Tippy seems a little startled as the girls begin discussing elements from the movie, they'd watched together that resembles the story behind how Rabbit House came to be.
339	* WeWantOurJerkBack: Chino, despite liking how quiet it is without Cocoa around in episode ten, mixes up orders at work and even begins to miss the latter's usual GenkiGirl antics. Chino later mentions to Cocoa that were it not for her, she probably never would have invited her friends Maya and Megu for a sleepover and worries that she might not be a good enough host without Cocoa around.
340	* WhamEpisode: Chapter 145. [[spoiler: Chino's grandfather passes onto the afterlife, leaving Tippy as an ordinary rabbit.]]
341	* WhatTheHellHero: In episode seven, Chino goes to the bathroom and Cocoa notices she was working on a jigsaw puzzle. When she returns, she finds that the puzzle was completed by Cocoa, and is rather upset as a result. Cocoa ends up buying another jigsaw puzzle for her, but ends up buying a much larger one, so Rize, Syaro, and Chiya come over to help them with it.
