The Werewolf's Vampire Mate

Have read the story of the Wrights few times already and still enjoy it everytime. Looking forward to Lissie’s love story…...

loved the book,  it definitely broke me a couple times but so glad with the ending.  would love to read a sequel!

Just a heads up: I read Girls Saurus DX first and then went back to finish Girls Saurus (the prequel) just now.

Girls Saurus DX revolves around a character named Chiryuu Shingo. Initially, he appears to be an average high school boy, but it's later revealed that he suffers from Gynophobia, or the fear of women. At first glance, this might not seem like a big issue; all he has to do is avoid girls. However, this is precisely the problem. Due to his "cool" demeanor of trying to steer clear of girls, they tend to find him attractive, leading to a group of girls constantly chasing after him. How will he overcome his phobia?

Story: If you've read Girls Saurus, you won't be surprised by what unfolds and will understand the nature of this manga. If you haven't read the prequel, skip to the next paragraph. Essentially, for those who have read the prequel, it continues the madness from the first story. Girls Saurus DX is packed with the same kind of humor and laughter. If you enjoyed the first one, there's a good chance you'll like Girls Saurus DX. However, if you're hoping for more plot or character development, this manga may not be worth your time as it's largely similar to the first, just longer and funnier.

For those who haven't read the prequel, Girls Saurus DX is a comedy manga with practically no plot development. Don't worry about missing anything from the prequel; Girls Saurus DX does a great job explaining Shingo's issues in the early chapters. This manga lacks significant plot or character development, so if you're looking for a romantic comedy with depth, this isn't the manga for you. But if you're seeking a quick read for a laugh without worrying about important developments, this could suit you.

Art: The artwork is quite decent. The characters are well-drawn with good detail, though many scenes are repetitive. Don't be shocked by the recurring visions of Shingo seeing every girl as a "dinosaur," which ties into the title, Girls Saurus.

Characters: As mentioned earlier, there's little to no character development. In each chapter, Shingo faces a problem, usually involving girls. He often finds creative ways to address these issues, but ultimately gets overwhelmed by girls or similar situations. While repetitive, it remains funny to some extent. If you're looking for a few laughs, this manga should suffice.

Enjoyment: This was a brief and enjoyable read. I was surprised at how quickly the series concluded. Although some jokes get repetitive, it's fascinating how the author stretches a plot that could fit into 10 chapters into 66. Despite its repetitiveness, the delivery keeps it entertaining. I found myself eagerly finishing each chapter, curious about what would happen to Shingo next.

I'd appreciate feedback on whether this review was effective or not. Thanks!

I had extremely low expectations for this manga once it became evident that the most unappealing and contrived romance would be central. In other words, after the first few chapters of the original series, which this is a sequel to, I was already disheartened.  

Story 1/10: Continuing from the original series' blatant disregard for believable characters or storytelling, and adhering to the unfortunate trend where sequels often fail to match the original... this installment's narrative was pure garbage.  

It was painfully padded with filler, stretching the story unnecessarily. When it did progress, the pacing was worse than the anime "Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash," which is quite an accomplishment given Grimgar sits at the bottom of my personal list. The characters acted in absurdly illogical ways simply to move the plot forward or maintain the status quo.  

They also discarded the best and most sensible girl from the first series, then abruptly severed the MC's remaining harem connection near the end in an equally ridiculous manner.  

Art 3/10: Some aspects were decent or humorous, but the only reason it scores this high is due to the presence of uncensored fan-service.  

Characters 1/10: The sole good character, who was also the most likable, was unceremoniously removed and friend-zoned in the first series. They hinted at regret but never followed through.  

This second series was FILTHY with its shiny new one-off characters or living plot devices. Despite being almost four times as long as the original, there was literally zero character development for anyone.  

Enjoyment 2/10: It's like watching someone scrape a chalkboard with metal nails—except with boobs.  

Overall 1/10: I can't recall what possessed me to read this, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless they want to contract autism from the author or develop cancer from how atrocious it is.  

I now need chemotherapy.

Girls Saurus DX directly follows Kei Kusunoki's Girls Saurus manga, proving just as funny as its predecessor but also equally redundant.  

Being a sequel, the story carries on through Shingo Chiryuu's daily struggles with his girl phobia. Despite this fear, he somehow attracts unwanted attention from various girls, leading to some hilarious situations. That’s the summary of this seemingly intriguing Ecchi, Harem, Romantic Comedy. As a follow-up, one might expect the mangaka to have corrected past mistakes and started fresh, but instead, Girls Saurus DX is even more flawed than its predecessor. One issue is the inconsistency in the story; for instance, sometimes the protagonist freely talks about his girl phobia, while other times he's blackmailed to keep it secret. It simply doesn't add up. While it may be best not to delve too deeply into all the flaws, the most glaring one remains the repetitive nature of the story. Each chapter often establishes and resolves a scenario within 30+ pages. Sure, these one-shots can elicit a few laughs, but they can also quickly become tiresome due to recycled jokes. Additionally, much like in the original Girls Saurus, there's no significant story progression or romantic development, making the manga's length feel unjustified.  

The characters are the same quirky group as before, but rather than developing them further, the mangaka introduces new ones. This wouldn’t necessarily be an issue if the new additions didn’t conform to the most overused clichés in the genre. For example, seeing the same girl trip at least once per chapter might test anyone's patience. The "realism" of character motivations is similarly questionable—like advancing a relationship for revenge.  

Amidst these shortcomings, the artwork remains unchanged, though whether that's good or bad depends on personal taste. Some might appreciate the style, but I find it merely decent for the comedic tone.  

Ultimately, the mangaka hasn't learned much, as this series feels largely identical to the first. If you enjoyed the frequent panty shots and humorous moments in the prequel, you'll likely enjoy them here too. However, if you were hoping for meaningful development, you're expecting too much. In fact, Kei Kusunoki seems overly confident, evident in how she hyped up the addition of the most irritating character in the story. It's disappointing because there were numerous chances to craft an engaging tale of love and laughter, but it seems she forgot the love... and the engagement.

So much positivity in this comment section that it almost makes me want to read the novel

It is, the best part is the MC is not a simp princess
