    MANGA: Gokuraku Cafe

    October 29, 2014 / No Comments

    Gokuraku Cafe – Mamahara Ellie

    Yuto works as a waiter at the Rainbow Forest Cafe. One day he sees a guy who looked like he wants to throw himself from a bridge. Yuto tries to save him and finds out he’s none other than the famous former baseball player, Esaki.

    A bit of a bore with nothing much going on in terms of shounen-ai moments, this manga is more about a do-gooder guy meddling in other people’s business. It’s not as entertaining as the author’s other work Kigurumi Planet.
