66 million years ago the non-avian dinosaurs went extinct during the Cretaceous - Paleogene mass extinction, however, in this manga they managed to adapt in this manga world they are living peacefully in our modern age. That's right, this manga has dinosaur girls. Hold on to your butts! If you ever like monster girls and think about dating an anthropomorphic dinosaur girl, be sure to give this a go. This was my very first manga I've read (first I needed to figure out how to read a manga, heh) and today Timz0r-senpai will give you some insight about this manga.

Story: 5/10 (Average)
Basicly it's a typical ... story were boy meets girl with mundane Slice of Life elements with a pinch of comedy on the side. In this case, boy meets dinosaur girl. In this case, a female anthropomorphic Tyrannosaurus rex named Churio and the human boy his name is Yuuma. This manga basicly tells you some troubles you can face if you ever going to date an anthropomorphic dinosaur. Too bad the story ended very fast and it really felt to me it got axed for another project. I don't think we will ever see a continuation of this story.

Art: 6/10 (Fine)
The art style is not really one of my favorite so far with the manga art that I have seen so far nowadays, but I do like the details that has been put in in the dinosaur girls thier dinosaur parts. Fans of dinosaurs really should reconize the dinosaur the dinosaur girl represents. As a self-titled paleontologist in training I give the author props for giving the dromaeosaur-girl even feathers like it should be.

Charather: 7/10 (Good)
I love the charathers in this manga. It's not a common sight you will see partly dinosaur girls interact in todays world and I love they have thier own prehistoric personallities what you would expect from a dinosaur girl.

Enjoyment: 8/10 (Very Good)
For being my very first manga I've read and the fact I had to figure out first in which order I need to read a manga, I actully enjoyed this manga.

Overall: 6/10 (Fine)
In overal I think this manga was ok enough & a fun read and I would recommend this one if you like monster girls, dinosaurs and can deal with mundane Slice of Life elements, combined with the struggles of romance and comedy. The bad part of it, well, as I already told you; it ended very fast and it really does feel it got axed somehow.

(TLDR at the bottom, as always, thanks for reading)

I won’t make this too long.

My Girlfriend is a T-Rex is a misleading title. Since no one actually gets together. But I can still assure you that if the main two were or were not together, you still get the same features of a general rom-com found in just about anywhere else as well.

There is no distinction in this manga, the narrative is a basic s.o.l which I find to have its merits from time to time whenever you are looking for something simple. In this sense, My Girlfriend is a T-Rex does well in this ... category, it doesn’t overstep anything and uses a wide range of activates from hanging out with friends, new people interactions, that one beach chapter, and the rest of it, instead of developing a central plot device like some “better” s.o.l out there, which in turn only gives short stories on just about anything and everything feasible to the main two. Though you can’t really expect anything of serious quality here as there wasn’t anything to really give it such a title in a small amount of space. It ends up being generic. But there is nothing wrong with generic stuff.

Pretty much all the characters here are flat and one-dimensional, but that would make sense given how the story doesn’t try to overdo anything. I won’t say that flat characters are bad, depending on where they are used really. They were here to serve a purpose and, well, serve it they did. Though they aren’t unique in any way, you have your baka girl (Churio), nice smiley guy (Yuuma), outgoing friendly girl (Torika), loud guy (Shima-something). They do well together in terms of character chemistry despite not having similar personalities. So I guess the characters are fine, but again, no serious quality.

Art is generic, again, nothing wrong with generic, but I would imagine some similar art style exists out there, thus making this the norm, thus it being of average quality. No attention to detail from what I remember, and the character designs are very basic.

With all kind of “highly intelligent criticism” out of the way. I enjoyed this a bit. I found myself laughing at some of the stuff here which is what a comedy needs me to do to be successful I suppose. Very cliché stuff so if you are easily annoyed by that I would stay away from it. It was also wholesome at times which is a win for most people’s books I would imagine. I’d recommend this to hardcore manga fans who want that lil’ bit more wholesome romance manga to add to their collection of things they have read. At the end of the day, My Girlfriend is a T-Rex has one mission to do and does a decent job at performing it.

TLDR: It is as most general low-end rom-coms are. Only serves for some fluff and fun.

Overall – 6.0 (6)

For anyone wondering there is an ecchi tag here but I can tell you that there was virtually no ecchi. The first chapter is about the most you can get and that was basically Churio with her top half not covered. u r not getting dat ecchi here m8.
