Cocoa was enjoying shopping at the antique market, leaving Chino and Rize to tend the store. She prepared a present for the two who tended the store, but her choice was quite a mystery. Rize was excited when she heard it was a souvenir, but it turned out to be six doorknobs... Cocoa said she bought them because they were pretty, but Chino and Rize didn't know what to do when they received the presents and froze the doorknobs in their hands.
Cocoa is chosen as a member of the school festival executive committee
Cocoa's bright and energetic nature is her strong point, and she can get along with anyone, but at the school festival, she and Chiya are chosen as members of the executive committee. The reason is that they have experience performing at a coffee shop. The two are full of motivation and aim for first place in the performance contest, saying, "This year's school festival is a war!" At first, Chiya was crushed by the pressure, but when she left Cocoa, everyone relied on her, saying that she was more like a class president than the class president. The nickname given to Chiya is "Class Boss"! Meanwhile, Cocoa's nickname is... "Class Little Sister". At Rabbit House, Cocoa loves Chino as her little sister, but in class, she seems to be treated like the little sister.
Cocoa still can't tell the difference between the taste of coffee
In the first episode of the anime, Cocoa couldn't tell the difference between the taste of coffee at all, but by the third season of the anime, she was able to tell the difference in taste...unfortunately, she wasn't. Even when she drank the new coffee made by Chino, her impression was "...I can't tell the difference." Chino points out that she wasn't able to tell the difference from the first time she tried it, but Cocoa responds, "Chino's coffee has been delicious from the start!" Chino was not entirely opposed to being told that it's been delicious from the start, as Maya and Megu then point out to her, "Are you smiling at Chino?"
The mysterious woman Cocoa met on Halloween night
On Halloween, Cocoa had a rough Halloween, losing her position as Chino's older sister to Chiya, getting lost on her own, and finally crying after a child made fun of her failed magic trick. Then a woman in a costume appeared. She came near Cocoa and performed the same magic trick that Cocoa had failed to do earlier, where she took out candy from her hand. Cocoa says to the woman with a rabbit similar to Tippy on her head, "I want to make my sisters happy!" and asks her to teach her the magic trick, and she becomes her apprentice.
The magic trick is a success! But who is the woman who taught her the magic trick...?
Cocoa reacts to Chino's thin voice that sounds like "Big sister..." from somewhere. Next to her, the woman who taught her the magic trick is watching Chino. After a while, the woman hides behind the flower bed while waving at Cocoa. When Cocoa peers behind the flower bed, the woman is not there... Cocoa thinks it's a disappearing magic trick and meets up with Tippy, who has come to pick her up, and then she safely meets up with Chino and the others. Halloween is over, and seeing Chino look worried after Chiya says, "Our ancestors return to the sky," Cocoa shows Chino the magic trick she had just been taught. Chino freezes in surprise, and finally says, "My mother was good at that kind of magic trick."
Cocoa takes on various part-time jobs during the Christmas season
One day, Cocoa joins Sharo's part-time job at Fleur. The reason for her part-time job is to raise money to distribute Christmas presents to everyone. She breaks Kigumin's piggy bank, expecting it to contain about 5,000 yen, but the contents are only 52 yen.... Cocoa enjoys her part-time job despite being trained by Sharo, and goes to another part-time job she has. (She also worked at the crepe shop and the bookstore with Sharo...) And then Christmas day arrives. Cocoa was in charge of preparing a present for Lize in Secret Santa (where people draw lots to prepare a present for someone), and she gave her fake glasses and a teaching stick to Lize, who aspires to be an elementary school teacher.
The present she gave to Chino was a nuisance!?
Cocoa was in charge of Lize in Secret Santa, but of course she prepared a special present for Chino. She gave Chino an alarm clock. Chino immediately set the alarm clock and went to sleep, but... the next morning she woke up to a shrill noise. The alarm clock had Cocoa's voice recorded on it, and even had the sounds of an accordion and maracas in the background. Chino didn't know how to stop it, so she slammed the present Cocoa gave her, saying it was noisy.
Cocoa becomes Chino's little sister?
"I wonder what Cocoa was like in middle school," she muttered, and this comment was the catalyst for this episode. A Christmas present arrived from Cocoa's parents' house. In addition to stollen, it included the uniform that Cocoa wore in middle school. Cocoa, feeling nostalgic, immediately puts on the uniform and says, "I feel like I'm 13 again," but Chino responds, "If that's the case, then you're younger than me. That makes you my little sister." Chino tries to gain the upper hand in an unexpected way, even though Cocoa has always treated her like a little sister. Cocoa blushes and says, "Big sister Chino," and Chino, with a smug look on her face, says, "You're my little sister."
A surprisingly rare combination? Cocoa & Maya's Adventure
Cocoa and Maya are lively and seem to get along well when they get together in large groups, but if you think about it, there aren't many episodes where they do anything alone. But in the 7th volume of the comics, the two of them go on a big adventure! ? Maya, who didn't study seriously for the entrance exams and was kicked out of Sharo's house, is walking through an antique market when she discovers her "foundling sister (Cocoa)" next to the items. Cocoa sheds tears when Chino treats her like a nuisance while she is studying. When Maya asked, "How much is it?", she replied, "It's free. Please pay attention to me." She was so mentally exhausted that she rarely answered.
To take a break from studying? Cocoa and Maya go out together for the first time
After a period of dejection, Cocoa regains her energy and says, "Today, let's go on an adventure together and have fun!" During the adventure, she discovers an arcade she's never seen before and plays to her heart's content. And finally, the usual lost child... Cocoa lends her scarf to Maya who is cold, and shares some candy with Cocoa who is hungry. At this time, Maya even blurts out the words "Cocoa-nee". In the end, they are found by the group who came looking for them, and return home safely, but the unusual combination of Cocoa and Maya is a must-see. By the way, the game center that the two entered was gone when they went back together later...
The third season of the anime is full of energy! Cocoa Summary
So far, we have listed some episodes in which Cocoa is likely to play an active role in the third season of the anime. What did you think? Up until now, she has mostly been paired with members of Rabbit House or Chiya, who are connected to her by school, but from volume 5 of the manga onwards, she has been working part-time with Sharo and going on adventures alone with Maya, so we may see some unusual pairings in the anime. Look forward to Cocoa becoming even cuter in the third season of the anime!
