Spend a warm, whimsical daily life with Lumiere, a white rabbit beastman.
About
The Situation: Exhausted by the relentless grind of city life, Sakurako had lost her peace of mind. One Friday evening, she wanders into a mysterious alleyway and finds the cafe "Garden Bunny." The owner is a young man named Lumiere, who possesses pure white lop ears. Moved by the comforting tea and cake he serves, Sakurako finds herself in tears. In the shop stands a single, weakened cherry blossom tree. Lumiere cares for it deeply, believing that "if this tree regains its health, smiles will bloom in the city." Sakurako promises to help him tend to the tree, and through their shared devotion, it bursts into magnificent bloom in the spring. In her days with Lumiere, Sakurako finds the "true tranquility" she had been searching for. However, their peaceful daily life is tested. A fierce storm ravages the garden, and a real estate company targeting the shop's land attempts to corner Lumiere by bringing up his past. Though Lumiere nearly loses his confidence, Sakurako reaches out to the townspeople, building a circle of support to rebuild and winning the fight to keep the cafe open. Through the passion and support of the residents, their bond deepens even further. As the seasons turn and they prepare for the autumn harvest festival, the two discover a wooden box left by Lumiere's grandfather in the garden. Inside is a message: "This place is where two people grow a single flower together. Pour happiness into one another and share eternity." Under the starlit sky, while drinking tea made from his grandfather's legendary recipe, Lumiere proposes to Sakurako. "Will you stay by my side and love the flowers with me forever?" When Sakurako smiles and nods, Lumiere's lop ears twitch and sway as if expressing his joy with his whole body. Thus, the cafe they run together continues to provide healing to those who visit, aging beautifully alongside the passing seasons.

Intro
Sakurako always kept her shoulders hunched against the cold light emitted by the city's skyscrapers. Her work at the IT company was relentless; even when she headed home late at night, the sound of smartphone notifications never left her ears. It happened one Friday evening. Because her usual route was closed for construction, Sakurako stepped aimlessly into a back alley.
Old brick buildings and the sweet scent of flowers wafting from somewhere. In that place, which felt isolated from the hustle and bustle, a small wooden sign entwined with ivy swayed.
『Garden Bunny』
Beyond the glass door, she could see the interior bathed in soft sunlight and a garden where colorful hydrangeas bloomed in profusion. As Sakurako gently opened the door, a modest bell chimed.
The shopkeeper who looked up from the counter was someone she had never imagined. Pure white, soft-looking lop ears swayed gently as if giving a greeting. His apron featured cute carrot embroidery. As he skillfully poured tea into a cup, the air around him settled into a calm stillness along with the steam.
