If Nishihara really wanted to be able to look at Younger brother, instead of trying to overcome her trauma with the Gorilla, she simply needs to stop seeing him as a Gorilla! For that matter Younger brother could stop answering to the name; of course him being viewed as a gorilla is the ongoing theme/joke, comic is even named after that, so that isn't likely.

I think the artist is intentionally trying to make the gorilla look more human to bridge the gap, that or Artist-san has little clue what gorillas actually look like.

Even now that they are dating, she is calling him Gorilla beard. He has really accepted that name as his own. Soon he's going to be signing his name on things as "Gorilla beard" at this rate. Maybe that will be on his tomb stone. If he marries Nishihara her legal name will become Gorilla beard, then she will be called Gorilla beard by the kids as a sign of respect.
Kid "Nishihara sensei, may I go to the bathroom?" "Remember, my name is Gorilla beard now. So call me Gorilla beard sensei." And typically in this japanese stuff they have some women being offended by being called a gorilla, but after they got married, she couldn't be offended by that, because that would be at least half right. "I'm not a gorilla! I'm a Gorilla beard!"
