(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.
