In Mashiroiro Symphony, Pannya is a cute cat-like creature. However, at least
in the anime (unless I missed it), her actual species is not named. The anime
also has plenty of ordinary cats, so it doesn't seem like Pannya is just a
chibified version of a cat. Furthermore, there seem to be other animals of the
same species.

(Note: Pannya is the one on the left)

Is Pannya's species ever given a name? I'm fairly sure that it isn't named in
the anime, so I'm mostly looking for confirmation from the manga and/or visual
novel.

question
mashiroiro-symphony
What species is Pannya?


I strongly believe that Pannya is not a real species. It is likely a
[RidiculouslyCuteCritter](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RidiculouslyCuteCritter)
added as a
[SeriesMascot](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SeriesMascot),
possibly for the purpose of making the series more recognizable.

Take note at how Pannya always appears hanging on the characters in the title
of the series.
