Thanks for the TL!

Was wondering why there was something about Cocoa needing to sleep early at the end of the previous chapter, and this chapter explains it.

Nice to see how Cocoa's come to terms that she'll have to leave Rabbit House and the town, but has realized that its a place/home she can always return to. Aso LOL on more Cocoa traits rubbing off Chino.

Overall loving the increased focus on character development on the recent chapters as the end of Cocoa's 3rd year nears.

Oh wow. I think this is the 1st time we actually get shown that the Hoto Bakery is actually a rather big bakery shop. I always thought it was one of those family bakery but just really popular. It seems they have plenty of staff and even have a 2nd shop. Very nice. I wonder if perhaps we'll have a spinoff in the future where instead Chino (or someone else) goes to a Hoto Bakery and does some training there.

It's kinda melancholic to see how the two have grown ever since they met at the rabbit house... :meguuusad:

Agreed - and it's true of all the original girls, really - I noticed it the most with Rize, but also Cocoa, Chino, Chiya, Syaro, Maya, and Meg have grown up a lot over the course of the story. Even the Bright Bunny girls and Yura have matured in their relatively short time in the series, though it's not quite as easy to spot.

Most of it's in the characterization (since the characters were first introduced, they've overcome a lot of grief, loneliness, anxiety, and/or insecurity, for example), but I don't think the visual part of the impression can all be blamed on the art shift over time, nor simply on different hairstyles and outfits, but I can't really put a finger on exactly what the artists are doing differently to make the girls look older now than they did at the start of the manga. Whatever it is, it's subtle enough that I barely noticed until I reread from the beginning, but effective enough that it's convincing.

There's definitely a melancholic effect to it - not at all a bad thing, but I almost miss them already. The story has been moving along a little faster than I realized - looks like Syaro and Chino are already studying up for their college entrance exams, with their graduation (and Cocoa's) only a short time away!
