A Guide to the Japanese Anime Song "Is the Order a Rabbit?"'s "No Poi!"
"Is the Order a Rabbit?" is a 4-panel manga series created by the Japanese manga artist Koi. It is commonly abbreviated as "Gochiusa."
The story revolves around Cocoa, who moves to the town with wooden houses and cobblestone streets upon entering high school.
While looking for lodgings, she takes a break in a café, only to discover that it's coincidentally her new residence, Rabbit House.
Following the school policy of serving the household where you reside, Cocoa becomes an employee at Rabbit House and works as the "self-proclaimed" older sister to Chino, the only daughter of Rabbit House.
"No Poi!" served as the opening theme for the second season of the anime.
