From [Eternal Bunny Love](http://www.mangaupdates.com/groups.html?id=460): Ami moves into a new house and finds a mysterious trapdoor in her room. From that trapdoor, pops out 3 strange animals. Iyo (rabbit), Issa (panda), and Kenta (bear) are from Animal Yokocho, which is where the trapdoor leads. Don’t underestimate these cute little animals, because they can cause a whole lot of trouble. The manga won the award for children's manga at the 51st Shogakukan Manga Awards.
