The plot of this manga took on a more mature and serious tone of child abuse, and explores the behaviors/personalities of the two main characters and how the past mold them into who they are. Sex is portrayed as a mean of escapism, and personal growth plays the central stage in this game. While Takeru 's (who played the more ignorant younger brother) free spirit and compassion for forgiveness strengthen his will to be free of the past, Shin is still living in the past. Can these two estranged souls help each other overcome the past and start living in the present?

Gokuraku Cafe is a light humor story with very likable characters. The art is beautiful and the story draws you in. Although much is left unsaid as to who Yuuto will end up with, the potential pairings made the story interesting and hooks the reader on. I find the ending to be unsatisfying and somewhat hanging (with some knots still left untied). Will Yuuto ever achieve his dream? And most importantly, who will he end up with?
