𝗔 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗸𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲, and the lack of Psycho-GTS cliche is appreciated. The issue is it's still GTS.
(So 𝗶𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗳𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘆 𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗮𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗚𝗧𝗦 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼, cause gts is by design: trash.)
𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿'𝘀 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗳𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗵, than it is a genuine attempt at an ecchi comedy, 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗞𝗼𝗻𝗼𝘀𝘂𝗯𝗮 𝗼𝗿 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘁 𝗣𝘂𝗻𝗸 or my bride is a mermaid. Leagues better, hilarious titles, with plenty of fanservice, hilarious. (𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱) ) ✅
Without Spoilers i'll say: 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗲𝘄 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 "𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴", still cringe, but as it goes on it's less funny, and more repetitive, formulaic,
...
more cringe, predictable.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝘁𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗺𝗮𝗽𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗶𝗺𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗸 "GIANT Ojou-Sama", 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝘂𝗻. ⛔
Thus the title is held back at times by the fact that the Author seems to really subscribe to 𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐚 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 so the punchlines and situations mainly are limited & or focused to revolve around that one aesthetic, for better and worse. Hence the title. Very little variety in the material.
𝘃𝘀 𝗞𝗼𝗻𝗼𝘀𝘂𝗯𝗮, 𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗕𝗼𝘆 𝗼𝗿 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘁 𝗣𝘂𝗻𝗸, which are legit funny ecchis because their gags have variety, because the core of the material isn't one single fetish hijacking the materials direction.
𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗚𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘁-𝗢𝗷𝗼ke Sama's 𝗙𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘆, 𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀 𝘃𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘆, execution. As it always has.

BUTT, writing wise the Author added some 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗢𝗿𝗶𝗸𝗼'𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝘄𝗻. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻.✅
Oriko's a decent character 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗵𝗲'𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗮 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘅𝘆 for The Authors imprint misfire.
𝗙𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀:
• Art is average initially. The Author is definitely improving their style as time passes. So props to them for that.✅ Some of the enemies later on are surprisingly well designed, fun designs, cool designs, and most of the interior set pieces throughout the chapters are decently drawn. ✅
• Action panels are fine, Chapters 1's Remake is the best action sequence so far and that's because it's a recent revise from the Author's current art skills, again props to them for that.✅
• 𝗜 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗻𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲: But the issue here is, 𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗻𝘆 or ironic, It's blatant macrophile pandering, and to top it off, the execution is in no way clever, the fanservice plus Oriko's embarrassment doesn't always equal funny, just cringe. ⛔
• Unfortunately, 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗧𝗦 𝗮𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗴𝗶𝗺𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗵, hence the title. And because the most creativity they do with it is dress her up in different clothes while gigantic to pander. The giant girl novelty very quickly wears out.
• Turns the manga into, again, a 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘆, the gigantism isn't a vehicle for the comedy or necessary, you could easily just give Oriko a mech or actual Superman powers instead (which is leagues more powerful than just being a giant, one of the lamest powers in fiction & with powers like that you get waaaaaay more scenarios for comedy), the gigantism is the comedy/ & content, the point, a lot of the time, and it's contrived. But so many times you can get "𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗚𝗼𝗱𝘇𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮 𝘀𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝘀𝘀" for the 170th time, before it gets old, invasive.
𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲⛔ And if they switched it up and made Oriko the final boss, it'd just become the average crap gts doujinshi that's pumped out in waves.
• 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸 (𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗦𝗲𝗯𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗢𝗿𝗶𝗸𝗼 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝘂𝗼 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗱𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗴𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗴𝗶𝗿𝗹𝘀 𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲) Or Oriko trying to figure out a chaotic situation, she's very fun to watch in isolation without the macrophile-contrivance.✅
• Another plus, as i've said, this is not the usual GTS-Psycho territory that that cult- *excuse me, "community" is known for and no the manga doesn't waste time getting to the Giant girl stuff- so much so, 𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹 with it, or 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗰𝗰𝗵𝗶 𝗶𝘁𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗲𝗱. Garbage tbh. So it inevitably gets shoved down your throat.

Which is why it's more spectacle than it is comedy. 𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗽𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗱𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘆 or wit, 𝗶𝘀 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗽𝗶𝗱.⛔Hence the Manga TL;DR
• 𝗢𝗿𝗶𝗸𝗼 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲, she's not a Officer Nikki✅
• Without spoilers, the side & minor characters and story overall are about as interesting as a storyline in your average Hentai.⛔
• Hence, this would've better off as a full on comedy Doujinshi, thus it can go all the way with it's macrophile pandering and 𝗯𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗖𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗟𝗬 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲, the story and it's comedy potential otherwise feels held back by the fetish niche itself, limited. Cause Fetishes aren't upgrades, advantages, or something good. They're crutches. So to base a story around that is uphill battling. ⛔
𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗯𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗮, i just hate that it always boils down to the characters, comedic potential & story always getting hijacked by the GIANTESS concept as the selling point. 𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙡𝙚 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚. .⛔
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘂𝗽 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲.⛔
• Ultimately, ✓ 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝙨𝙪𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗽𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗱𝘆 𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗮 (𝘄𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 & 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗻𝘆) 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 Oriko's background, her past, and again: 𝗦𝗲𝗯𝗮𝘀' 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗢𝗿𝗶𝗸𝗼 (when they're just being a duo without the Macrophile shit), 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗵𝗲'𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗹, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗳𝗳 𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹.✅ So when it's not being Giantess, not being true to it's namesake then it tries to be competent, when it regresses to the point of the book, then it gets dumb.
• A lot of the dialogue is not the best, very cringe.⛔
• 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝟭𝟮, 𝟯𝟰, 𝗲𝘁𝗰. 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗢𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲'𝘀 are the title being decent, because it tries to delve into characterization while keeping the macrophile stuff on lowkey, the comedy does better without shoving giant girl fanservice down your throat (too much) ✅ 𝗔𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻, 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱'𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝘀 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀
𝗩𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁: Giant Ojou-Sama has it's moments but it lacks staying power. 𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘀𝗵𝘆 𝗴𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝘀𝘀/𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘆 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 that relies on one gimmicks aesthetic to justify it's existence. 🚮
Doesn't break new ground that hasn't been tread already by a previous GTS take, cause GTS is by design: Garbage.
4/𝟏𝟎 I know there are zealot types who will be into this regardless.
But for the general public? 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝, you want funny? Mitsudomoe, Nichijou, PopTeamEpic.
------
Edit: 2025-- As expected, it got worse. Author added more tropey characters taking up space, cause op ran out of ideas. The situations just perpetually repeat the same creepy punchline, Chapter 143 alone is some of the worst Manga writing I've seen in 2025 & frankly infantile, absolutely bottom barrel. Way worse than I remember, all the praises prior will remain because they're still relevant (back when it didn't lose the plot or it's better elements), title was tolerable but fun trash at first, but it's just crap.
2/10 Should've just been a doujinshi to begin with.
