Another unforgettable night is about to begin… Bunny Garden’s brand-new title finally arrives!
This latest installment in the romance adventure game series is designed for gentlemen of pure heart who frequent the gentlemen’s retreat “Bunny Garden” and connect with its uniquely charming cast. Reunite with familiar faces while welcoming new additions, delivering an even more immersive experience than its predecessor. The “gentleman’s games” have evolved further; how you enjoy them is entirely up to you. Forget the hardships of daily life and indulge in sweet, heart-pounding nights.
Story
Haito Kanda (name changeable) lost his job due to a major mistake at work, and had fallen into despair over everything.
Just as he was heading to his usual cheap pub to drown his sorrows…
A woman suddenly spoke to him, noticing his dejected expression.
That was the fateful encounter…
Guided by her, he stepped into a sanctuary for gentlemen, where women as adorable as rabbits welcomed him… “Bunny Garden.”
What changes will this encounter bring to their lives, and yours? It’s all up to you…
A new Bunny Garden, set in a different world line from the previous title. A brand-new story and a cast you have yet to meet await you.
Characters
Mio Hoshitani as Kana
With her carefree smile, she treats everyone equally. She is like Bunny Garden’s own sun.
Her brightness and kindness unwittingly melt customers’ hearts. Yet behind that smile lies a strong resolve to pursue a certain dream.
Eri Suzuki as Rin
The life of the party at Bunny Garden. Free-spirited and friendly, she talks casually with first-time customers to close the distance. Sometimes she teases like a little devil, enjoying the reactions—leaving many people flustered.
But behind that free-spiritedness lies a slightly unexpected side…
Masumi Tazawa as Miuka
The sharp-tongued one at Bunny Garden, who speaks her mind without hesitation.
Countless customers have been stung by her piercing words. Yet there’s no malice whatsoever.
Rather, her frankness and unwavering stance possess a strange charm that somehow becomes addictive.
Yukina Shuto as Erisa
A cast member on her trial period.
She tends to act aloof, but is actually a very kind and considerate girl with a tsundere personality. She has a severe tendency to overthink things, where even the protagonist’s casual words or gestures can instantly send her imagination running wild in that direction.
She may seem strong-willed, but she actually loves imagining romantic scenarios and sometimes gets lost in her own fantasy world.

Shu Sakuratani’s Rooster Fighter manga made its debut on Hero’s Inc.’s Comiplex back in December 2020. 10 volumes of the manga have been released in Japan as of July 4, 2025. Lastly, VIZ Media licensed the Rooster Fighter manga in English and describes the story as follows:

Renowned manga publisher Shogakukan has been under fire lately due to reports of their Manga ONE editorial department knowingly hiring two manga authors who were both convicted of sexual crimes. These creators published new works under new pen-names.
The most recent case of controversy comes in the way of Tatsuya Matsuki, the creator of the Act-age manga who arrested in 2020 for the indecent assault of a middle school student. After serving his sentence, he was rehired by the Manga ONE editorial department in 2024 under the name Miki Yatsunami, where he worked on the Seisō no Shinri-shi story.
Shogakukan stated that Yatsunami has been receiving psychological counseling since the incident, and the psychologist in charge of him has determined his mental rehabilitation had been sufficient. While Shogakukan insisted its decision to have Matsuki use a pen-name for the new work was always intended to be at the best interest of the victims, the company admits that the Manga ONE editorial staff should have been more considerate. Following the statement, the Seisō no Shinri-shi manga has been temporarily suspended.
The first case involved Shōichi Yamamoto, who was previously convicted for child pornography in 2020 and later found liable in a 2026 civil case for the repeated rape of a student. Yamamoto is known famously as the creator of the Daten Sakusen manga series, which was taken down by Manga ONE in 2022. At the time, Shogakukan started serializing Hajime Ichiro and artist Eri Tsuruyoshi’s Jōjin Kamen manga, despite “Hajime Ichiro” and Shōichi Yamamoto being the same person. Manga ONE announced on Friday it has halted the serialization of the Jōjin Kamen manga. Shogakukan went on to voice their regret at hiring Hajime Ichiro.
Following the statement, many creators took to social media to criticize Shogakukan for the lack of ethics and consideration toward the victims. Renowned authors like ONE, author of One-Punch Man and Mob Psycho, were among the people who let their opinions be known. Meanwhile, many other manga creators who have their works available on the Manga One app decided to have them removed, including Kanehito Yamada (Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End) and Rumiko Takahashi (Ranma 1/2, Inuyasha).
