Nice! I was looking if someone knew about the Gochiusa April Fools worlds and mentions it. Funny seeing them integrated in one way or another in the main story by way of dreams and events that add more depth to the characters.

Adding this as a reply to list the April Fools references for others to see.
There's been a few chapters referencing the April Foold worlds.

Ch. 166 (this chapter) is on the "Regene Play Rabbits" from 2020.

Ch. 159 was on "Take Out Blue Bird" from 2022.

The end of Ch. 138 partly references the later "Galaxy Train Rabbit House" from 2023.

Ch. 132 was on "Seven Rabbit Sins" from 2021.

Ch. 114 was "Clockworld Rabbit" from 2019 and partly on "Daydream Show" from 2018.

Vol. 8 Ch. 11 (Ch. 104) was on "Chimame Chronicle" from 2017.

Vol. 7 Ch. 4 (Ch. 83), Vol 6 Ch. 6 (Ch. 71), Vol. 6 Ch.3 (Ch. 68), Vol. 5 Ch. 6 (Ch. 58) are a few of the many chapters that shows Syaro's "Phantom Theif Lapin" from 2017.

I think "Magical Girl Chino" from 2015 has also been referenced at a chapter, but can't find it right now.

It was fun looking back at some chapters from a while back as I noticed the significant improvement in the shading of the color pages between Vol. 10 and Vol. 11 (from Ch. 133) and later that gives as effect that's like glowing.
Its amazing to see how much the art style evolved with earlier volumes look really different than later ones in terms of art style. There's points of significant change around Vol. 2, Vol. 3, Vol. 4, Vol. 6, Vol. 8, Vol. 11.

It's very reminiscent of Akari from Aria getting into all sorts of wonderful experiences and encounters. Probably something inherent in them that makes it happen. Cocoa and Akari both at least share the whole life and enjoy everything at every moment thing.

ARIA. One of my favourite anime and manga. Very relaxing and nice. Even the ending is very nice.

Akari also had the thing that Cait Sith had specifically taken an interest in her. I guess Cocoa's equivalent might be Chino's mother? This could be a chicken or the egg question though: are supernatural entities interested in Cocoa and Akari because they're special, or are they special because supernatural entities are interested in them?

There is story in "Clockworld Rabbit" talk about Chino mother being genius hacker and directly tell reader in April fool 2024 "Clockworld Rabbit" to direct Megu back to her own world. So maybe Chino's Mother in each world had their own agenda to look over something?

Chino's mother does seem to have somehow given Cocoa a little magic as a child when she found her lost in the half-timbered town, and I guess it can't be helped!

Alternatively, seems like the Half-Timbered Town itself is enchanted, but usually it's Cocoa - the most childlike of the characters - who is able to tap into that enchantment. Seems like Aoyama Bluemountain mentioned in an earlier chapter something to the effect of strange things being easier to see when you're young, or perhaps young at heart. Some of the other characters who have been spirited away or who have otherwise had strange experiences in the Town include Maya (in the first visit to the arcade) and the Ginger twins (with the prophetic shared Blue Bird dream), who are some of the younger characters, so there might be something to that!

Speaking of Rize asking if Syaro wants to "cop a fluff", we can refer back to Ch. 139, when Yura bought up all the bondage gear that the Ginger twins couldn't sell at brocante, and teased a flustered Rize with it, asking if she'd like to try it out. Look close in this chapter, and you'll see Yura's bondage collar integrated into Rize's costume. We also get an interrogation scene with Rize and Cocoa - seems like a character being interrogated by Rize has been a gag at least once before, though more playfully (I believe it was Syaro the last time, and she seemed pretty into the idea!) Things must be getting pretty lively in the Half-Timbered Town!
