Is the Order a Rabbit?

Cocoa Hoto arrives in a new town to go to high school and, after one brief meeting, moves in with the Kafuu family. She takes a job as a waitress at Rabbit House in exchange for room and board, and quickly warms up the shy granddaughter Chino, who often perches a fluffy, talking rabbit named Tippy on her head. Cocoa’s outgoing nature pulls in a small circle of friends: Rize, a disciplined girl with a military background; Chiya, a serene rival cafe waitress; and Sharo, a polite young woman who hides financial worries behind aristocratic manners. Episodes focus on everyday antics, lighthearted humor, and the cozy rhythms of cafe life.

Created by Kazuyuki Fudeyasu, the series premiered in 2014 as a TV anime. The main voice cast includes Ayane Sakura as Cocoa, Inori Minase as Chino, Risa Taneda as Rize, Satomi Sato as Chiya, and Maaya Uchida as Sharo.

The show didn’t collect major international awards, but it built a steady fanbase and performed well enough to spawn additional seasons and related merchandise, showing consistent popularity within its niche rather than mainstream prize recognition.

Within anime circles the series helped cement the "cute girls in cafes" vibe, with Tippy and the Rabbit House setting becoming recognizable icons among fans. Its warm visuals and character-driven humor led to fan art, cosplay, and references in social spaces that celebrate slice-of-life, cozy anime.

Critics and viewers tend to praise the series for its relaxing tone, amiable characters, and light comedy, reflected in a solid average score of 7.4/10 from viewers. Thematically it centers on friendship, routine comforts, and small personal growth, favoring gentle moments and character interplay over high drama or action.
