【Is the Order a Rabbit? 】Cuteness Ranking #10: Tippy

Tippy, the Angora rabbit who always sits on Chino's head, is so adorable! Only Chino and Takahiro (Chino's father) know that Tippy was the previous owner of "Rabbit House," but everyone knows that Tippy isn't just any ordinary rabbit, right? (laughs)

Tippy's occasional deep voice makes him seem a little rugged, but his expressive face makes him a heartwarming sight, especially when he competes with Takahiro!
[Is the Order a Rabbit?] Cuteness Ranking 9th: Aoyama Blue Mountain

The novelist "Aoyama Blue Mountain" is a gentle, soothing older sister figure who's good at putting others at ease. She starts working at "Rabbit House" midway through the series, and her bartender outfit (?) suits her perfectly!

Aoyama's time as a novelist was also charming and lovely, and she's the kind of beauty you'd want to chat to if you met her on a trip!
[Is the Order a Rabbit?] Cuteness Ranking 8th: Mocha
Source: Is the Order a Rabbit? ©Koi・Houbunsha/Is the Order a Rabbit? Production Committee?
Cocoa's older sister, Mocha! She's a master of baking, and her overwhelming "big sister power" has even made Lize's heart flutter with her beauty. She's superior to Cocoa in every way, which makes Cocoa sad because she feels completely out of place around Mocha... (lol)

But the sisters get along extremely well, and Cocoa and Mocha are the kind of sisters you'd envy! Mocha's cuteness would put her in the top three, but she doesn't appear often, so I put her in 8th place... Despite only appearing in the second season, Mocha is a very memorable character!
[Is the Order a Rabbit? 7th Place in Cuteness: Cocoa

In 7th place goes to the main character, Cocoa...! As the main character, you'd think she'd make the top three, but her sister, Moka, is in 8th place, so it's only fitting that she's around here... I could have ranked Cocoa a little higher, but I felt bad about putting her so far ahead of Mocha... (lol)

"GochiUsa" has seven main characters, but Cocoa ended up at the bottom. That just goes to show how many fascinating characters there are in "Gochiusa" (lol). Cocoa is the most active and talkative girl in the series, but her cheerfulness makes her the center of attention without her realizing it.
[Is the Order a Rabbit?] Cuteness Ranking 6th: Megu

Meg, one of the "Chimame Squad," is Chino and Maya's best friend and a cute, laid-back girl. She has a slightly airheaded and warm personality, which makes her a bit like Cocoa and Chiya. She's one of the few little sister characters who looks up to Cocoa (lol).
【Is the Order a Rabbit? 】Cuteness Ranking 5: Chiya

Chiya is the poster girl for "Amausa-an" (Sweet Rabbit An), a gentle, natural beauty with long, black hair and a Japanese Nadeshiko-like appearance (lol). Her personality is similar to a more laid-back version of Cocoa, and in terms of chemistry alone, Cocoa and Chiya are the best friends in the series.

She's skilled at improvising names for newly created dishes and often demonstrates her own unique sense of humor. She's childhood friends with Sharo, and they live next door to each other. Sharo and Chiya's close yet harmonious relationship is truly enviable!
[Is the Order a Rabbit?] Cuteness Ranking 4th: Rize
Source: Is the Order a Rabbit? ©Koi・Houbunsha/Is the Order a Rabbit? Production Committee?
Rize, with her incredible figure and military enthusiastism, is a dependable older sister, but she's also incredibly wealthy and lives in a luxurious mansion—a lovely contrast! Her father drilled her with gun handling and close quarters combat (CQC) skills, and while working part-time at Rabbit House, she always carries a model gun and a combat knife, much to Tippy's ire (lol).
Source: Is the Order a Rabbit? ©Koi・Houbunsha/Is the Order a Rabbit? Production Committee?
She's a beautiful girl who's one year older than Cocoa, Chiya, and Sharo, and acts as their leader. She's popular with girls, has worked as a hair model, and wears a variety of costumes, and her beauty is often praised.
【Is the Order a Rabbit?】Cuteness Ranking 3rd: Chino
Source: Is the Order a Rabbit? ©Koi・Houbunsha/Is the Order a Rabbit? Production Committee
Chino, the poster girl for "Rabbit House" and the true protagonist of "GochiUsa," came in third! Chino is quiet and shy, but she's adorable when she's making coffee! It's striking that she always wears Tippy on her head while working.

Chino seems more like the main character than Cocoa, but she speaks in a shy way, a stark contrast to the cheerful Cocoa. She's best friends with Maya and Megu from the "Chimame Squad," and the three of them often get the spotlight from the middle of the series onwards. Although she's usually annoying, she's actually a tsundere girl who loves Cocoa!
【Is the Order a Rabbit? 2nd Place for Cuteness: Maya
Source: Is the Order a Rabbit? ©Koi・Houbunsha/Is the Order a Rabbit? Production Committee ?
Winning second place is none other than Maya, the leader of the "Chimame Squad"! Maya is as active as Cocoa, not just among the "Chimame Squad," and the more you look at her, the cuter she becomes! Her lively nature and her height of 140cm, the shortest in the series, also emphasize her cuteness!
Source: Is the Order a Rabbit? ©Koi・Houbunsha/Is the Order a Rabbit? Production Committee? ?
It's rare to see a beautiful girl character who suits short blue hair and golden eyes better than Maya! Maya, who looks so cute with surprisingly difficult hair and eye colors, balances out Chino and Megu perfectly, making her a cute character! In my personal opinion, this character deserves to be ranked #1 (lol).
[Is the Order a Rabbit?] Cuteness Ranking #1: Sharo
Source: Is the Order a Rabbit? ©Koi・Houbunsha/Is the Order a Rabbit? Production Committee?
Shallo is undoubtedly one of the most popular characters from "Gochiusa"! Sharo and Chino were also much more popular on Twitter, but Sharo's popularity seemed to be even more prominent.
Source: Is the Order a Rabbit? ©Koi・Houbunsha/Is the Order a Rabbit? Production Committee
Sharo has an incredible ladylike aura. Even though she's actually just an ordinary girl, it must have been tough for her to be seen as even more ladylike than Rize (lol). When she consumes caffeine, she enters a state known as "caffeine hypertension," and it's hilariously cute to see Sharo's constant turn after turn (lol)!
Source: Is the Order a Rabbit? ©Koi, Houbunsha / Is the Order a Rabbit? Production Committee
She has a weakness that doesn't seem to be related to rabbits, but after she started living with the stray bunny "Wild Geese," it was nice to see her loving him! Even though she hated rabbits so much, Sharo built a cardboard house for Wild Geese, a true tsundere (lol).
【Is the Order a Rabbit? 】Cute Characters Who Are Hard to Rank
Source: Is the Order a Rabbit? ©Koi・Houbunsha/Is the Order a Rabbit? Production Committee ?
All 10 characters in "GochiUsa"—the seven main characters, plus Mocha, Aoyama, and Tippy—are equally charming and difficult to rank. Among them, Sharo and Chino were particularly popular, but some people might have been upset that Cocoa was ranked 7th (sorry, lol).
Source: Is the Order a Rabbit? ©Koi・Houbunsha/Is the Order a Rabbit? Production Committee ?
My personal recommendation is Maya. While she didn't leave much of an impression on me the first time I watched it, the more I watched her, the more adorable she became!
