Synopsis

The siblings Kashou and Shigure Minazuki enjoy the company of six catgirls. Chocola and Vanilla assist Kashou in his job as a baker at the patisserie La Soleil, while the others—Coconut, Azuki, Cinnamon, and Maple—accompany Shigure in her daily life back at their home. One afternoon, when Chocola goes out for an errand, she notices a green-haired kitten alone by herself at a park and decides to bring her back to the patisserie. Soon after, the Minazuki household adopts her and gives her a name: Cacao. With a new member in their family, the members of the Minazuki household continue their everyday lives—bound to become livelier than ever.

IS THIS WORTH WATCHING? Here are my points to consider Do you want an adorable slice-of-life anime about cat girls? Then this anime might be the one you are looking for. If you're looking for a palate cleanser anime, this series is also a good option. The characters in this anime are not explored in great depth. There is a lack of context in terms of the story. You have played the OG source and want to see a faithful adaptation of the story? Sorry to disappoint but that doesn't happen here. However, this series does feature an anime-original character who does not appear in the OG source material. There are light fan service in this anime.

A beach episode for the final episode. Although the theme itself is rather cliché, I think it was still a fun choice and was executed well enough to serve as an enjoyable conclusion to the series. Are all the girls cute? Does Shigure have a field day? Is there fan service? You'll have to watch the episode to find out 😉 Overall, this anime serves as an excellent palate cleanser for anyone looking to take a break from intense action, mystery or gore-filled series. The soundtrack complements each episode's atmosphere well and although the animation isn't particularly remarkable, it fits the series well and is more than adequate for a lighthearted slice-of-life anime centered around cat girls.

I think this was a good second-to-last episode, as it shows how Cacao expresses her appreciation toward the people who have changed her life in her own way. The buildup to the heartwarming scene at the end was well executed. That said, I think the moment would have been even more meaningful if Cacao had included everyone instead of focusing mainly on Chocola and Vanilla. Still, it's understandable, since they're the ones she spends the most time with throughout the series. P.S. I bet Shigure would collapse if she was also given a present made by Cacao 😆

This is an entertaining episode about Chocola and Vanilla's bell renewal. It expands on the concept of bells introduced in the first episode, giving viewers a deeper understanding of just how challenging the process of obtaining one really is. As Chocola and Vanilla prepare for the renewal with everyone's help, the training sequences are enjoyable to watch and filled with funny and charming moments. Seeing Cacao join the training makes the episode even more wholesome.

An episode featuring Maple and Cinnamon. Not only does it explore their backstory, but it also tells a genuinely engaging story that makes the episode even more enjoyable. Maple takes the lead in this episode, and although everyone lends her a hand, I think Cinnamon deserves special credit for giving Maple the push she needed. The episode beautifully showcases how Cinnamon complements Maple, both in their relationship within the anime and in the way their names reflect a classic food pairing.

This episode takes on a somewhat mystery-like approach centered around Shigure. I have mixed feelings about it, as the conclusion felt rather ridiculous due to my familiarity with her character. However, when considering the perspective of an anime-only viewer, the experience may feel completely different 🤔. Since the episode focuses on Shigure, it also reveals some information about her character, though most of it was not particularly surprising to me considering I have played the OG source.

As the Minazuki household's cat girls are forced to stay indoors due to the storm, the episode explores how they pass the time through storytelling. While the first story begins as a straightforward narrative, it gradually transforms into something more humorous and unique as each character adds their own personal touch and interpretation. It wasn't that great of an episode and I was able to foresee what would happen at the end, as the outcome was somewhat predictable.
