Gokurakugai follows the daily lives of Tao and Alma, who run the Gokuraku Troubleshooter's Office, an out-of-the-way business that aims to "solve problems." They appear to be nothing more than a lovable goofball and his serious female counterpart getting into shady business, until the series bares its true supernatural fangs near the end of chapter 1. Though I'm not typically interested in shounen series to begin with, I find that this series has a lot of potential as its stunning art style and impressive balance between "cool" and "funny" work greatly in its favor.
Though there may only be 3 chapters translated as is, I think
...
Alma's background of being half-"calamity" will surely make him into a very interesting character as the series examines the troubled mind of someone who is constantly made to kill his own kind, akin to the story of Alucard in the Hellsing series.
The dynamic between Tao and Alma is something I also think can (and will) be expanded on greatly, as the two of them have already been shown to be very likeable characters and appear to have a deep history and connection that the reader will surely be made aware of as the series progresses.
I think this series has the potential to reach the heights of modern shounen mainstays, and if you get in on the ground floor you'll have bragging rights over your friends for years to come.
