I'd class this as a manga for adults. Not in the lewd way, but in the "dark jokes about the economy and existential dread" kind of way. When you first meet the rabbits, at first you feel sympathy for their situation, and think the protagonist is a jerk for mistreating them, until you begin to understand that the rabbits are totally insane and beyond help, and the guy's behavior, cruel as it is, is pretty reasonable in context. This frees you up to enjoy the chaos. They'll literally die if they stop working for more than a few minutes (it's like a curse or something, the curseof mochi). The rabbits are highly intelligent and competent, but have the wisdom of a hive insect, and zero survival instinct. It borders on psychological horror sometimes. (There's a Junji Ito reference at one point.) Perversely, the artstyle has a very moe quality. I couldn't help falling in love with those weird rabbits. They're so cute. I want them to win, and be happy. I think that's what really pulls the manga together.

What is there to say about this manga other than the fact that its absolute peak. Watching the cute little rabbit girls melt into puddles of goo if they aren't forced to do labor is hilarious. Not only is it a genuinely funny comedy series but the characters within the story itself have actual arcs that come together for a satisfying conclusion. The comedy itself revolves around the satirical black company that the rabbit girls were born into on the moon juxtaposed in contrast to the black company that the main character works at on earth. The rabbit girls were brainwashed to love their work,as difficult and unpaid as it may be so they cant understand why the MC absolutely loathes his job. this disconnect creates some funny moments between the two sides where he actively tries to be as horrible as possible to get them to leave only for his actions to be the kindest thing anyone has done for them. Giving away any more would enter the realm of spoilers so I'll stop here but if you've ever been unfortunate enough to work retail then there'll be plenty for you to get a kick out of.
