Close to Akihabara, yet worlds away...
A hugely popular bar from another world.
Rabbit Lovers Cafe
Welcome to Rabbit Island, a world that exists separate from Akihabara.
Here, in the US33 District of the Royal Capital Jersey Willy, ruled by the peace-loving Rabbit King Usaou, you'll find Rabbit Lovers Cafe.
One day, for reasons unknown, Rabbit Lovers Cafe suddenly became connected to Akihabara on Earth.
No one knows exactly why the two worlds became linked, but Usaou, who isn't one to overthink things, simply decided to take advantage of the opportunity by sharing the food and drinks of Rabbit Island with the humans of Akihabara.
Rabbit Girls (Part-Time)
The Rabbit Girls are waitresses who work at Rabbit Lovers Cafe. They come from all walks of life—many are students on Rabbit Island, while others work as home security guards. Of course, some rabbits have completely different jobs as well.
