Kohane always acts for others, neglecting her own interests. Kohane always thinks about others and neglects what she wants to do, but one day, she sees some cheerleaders cheering for a baseball game on the riverbank. Charmed by her cute yet powerful attitude, and the way she cheers for others with all her might, she decides that she wants to become a cheerleader herself! Unfortunately, there is no cheerleading club at her high school, but thanks to Kohane's unyielding enthusiasm, people gradually gather and the club starts up. By the way, the title seems to mean "Animal + Cheer" since each character has an animal's name in it.

She is also a typical Kirara protagonist, but she has a very positive personality. She doesn't mind small setbacks and will definitely overcome even the tallest obstacles. Her super positive and forward-thinking personality is her biggest charm. People around her are naturally influenced by her positivity. However, she sometimes goes beyond positivity and has a too free-spirited side, such as rewriting inconvenient stories into different words in her head (lol)

Even when she is talking to someone, if she sees someone in trouble, she will go to them first, and has a kind personality that cannot overlook it. However, she often tries too hard for others and ends up getting hurt, and her childhood friend Uki and other friends are worried about her overly kind personality, but this is her charm.

Isn't this also a characteristic and charm of the Kirara protagonist? She has a bright personality and works hard, but she's not very good at studying. She has a bad memory, her way of thinking is a little strange, and she can't understand very difficult words, but that makes her more endearing, don't you think?

This is a Kirara work, so it goes without saying, but she has a very cute look! Her pink hair gives her a slightly childish look. Her hairstyle is a bit unique, but that's what makes her so unique and attractive.

As mentioned above, she is a positive and optimistic person, but once she decides to do something, she will do it to the end, and she will never give up and will work hard, even if it is something quite unreasonable. When she decided to do cheerleading, she decided to start a club herself, even though she would normally have given up if there was no club, and she actively recruited others.

As soon as Kohane finds out that Arima Hizume, a former cheerleader and someone she looks up to, is attending the same high school, she immediately goes to recruit her. However, she coldly tells her she'll never do cheerleading again. Still, Kohane remembers Hizume's smile from the first time she saw her, and believes that Hizume really wants to do cheerleading, so she continues to recruit her without giving up. She is rejected many times and has a pretty strict attitude, so normally she would never talk to her again, but she doesn't give in.

As a result of the above, Hizume tells her not to talk like she's superior even though she's scared of heights, and that it's just a game anyway. Those words are related to Hizume's painful past, and this is where Kohane's amazing side comes in. Even after learning about her past, she still wants to do cheerleading with Hizume, so she overcomes her fear of heights. Even standing on a desk was impossible, so she climbed a tree to recruit Hizume. Her legs were shaking and she was extremely scared, but her determination to never give up is amazing.

In fact, Kohane herself is not better at sports than others, nor does she have better grades than others. Therefore, she works harder than anyone else, even if it means getting injured. As a result of this tireless effort, the cheerleading club (tentative name), which started with just one person, was attracted to her charm, and three more people joined, forming a club, and finally five people joined and it was promoted to a club activity. This was the moment when her desire to cheer others up took shape through her efforts.
