Thus the title is held back at times by the fact that the Author seems to really subscribe to ๐ฆ๐๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฉ๐ก๐ข๐ฅ๐ข๐ ๐๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐น๐น๐ 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.
๐๐ ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ผ๐๐๐ฏ๐ฎ, ๐๐ผ๐น๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐ฃ๐๐ป๐ธ, 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.

๐ for The Authors imprint misfire.
๐๐ผ๐ผ๐๐ป๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐:
• 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.✅
• ๐ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ป ๐๐ฒ๐น๐น ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ถ๐ ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น๐น๐ ๐๐ถ๐น๐น๐, ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ถ๐น๐น๐ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ณ๐๐ป๐ป๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ: But the issue here is, ๐๐'๐ ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐ณ๐๐ป๐ป๐ 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.⛔
And if you're reluctantly fluent in Macronese, you'll realize Giant-O-MID Sama is not fresh or a new take on giantess, bro's just publishing a vanilla gts doujinshi you could find anywhere else, but for the general public. That's all this is. ⛔
• Unfortunately, ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ง๐ฆ ๐ฎ๐ฒ๐๐๐ต๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ฐ ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐บ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป ๐ด๐ถ๐บ๐บ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฐ๐ฟ๐๐๐ฐ๐ต, 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 ๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ป๐, the gigantism isn't a vehicle for the comedy nor is it 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 & ecchi)
The gigantism is the comedy/ namesake & content, the point, a lot of the time, and it's contrived despite the authors blatant attempts to make it necessary.
There's but so many times you can get "๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ'๐ ๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ฑ๐๐ถ๐น๐น๐ฎ ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฎ๐๐" for the 170th time, before it gets old, invasive. Especially if you're already numb to it.
๐๐'๐ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฐ๐๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ⛔Which is the death of funny, but it does serve obsession, which is what is really about for the dedicated & initiated.
So, if they switched it up and made Oriko the final boss to serve that psycho itch, it'd just become the average crap standard gts doujinshi that's pumped out in waves.
• ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ธ (๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ป ๐ถ๐'๐ ๐ท๐๐๐ ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ข๐ฟ๐ถ๐ธ๐ผ ๐๐ฎ๐น๐ธ๐ถ๐ป๐ด, ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ด, ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฎ ๐๐ถ๐น๐น๐ ๐ฑ๐๐ผ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ต๐ผ๐น๐ฑ ๐ถ๐'๐ ๐ผ๐๐ป ๐๐ถ๐๐ต๐ผ๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ผ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฎ ๐ด๐ถ๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐ด๐ถ๐ฟ๐น๐ ๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฒ- which is what he does at one point, just RUINS a scene by having them talk, she's normal scale, then Sebas looks up and her ass is just there because *Oopsie.....)
Or Oriko trying to figure out a chaotic situation, she's very fun to watch in isolation without the macrophile-contrivance.✅She could've been a great character man, what a waste.
Could've even upgraded her to wearing a cool ass Tokusatsu outfit (form-fitting ofc for the gooners), turn her iconic. A modern day Ultraman-F. imagine that genre turn, THE WASTED POTENTIAL, this is what happens when you fetish, you undercook your food. Brain meats work at nerfed capacity.
• 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, ๐ถ๐'๐ ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐๐๐ฏ๐๐น๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ ๐ฎ๐น๐น with it, or ๐ต๐ผ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ต๐ถ ๐ถ๐๐๐ฒ๐น๐ณ ๐ถ๐ ๐ต๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ๐น๐ฒ๐ฑ. So the reason this is an L despite it being a plus is it's garbage because it's desperate tbh. Because it inevitably gets shoved down your throat. (๐ถ๐'๐ ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฑ๐ผ ๐ถ๐'๐ ๐ต๐ผ๐ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฑ๐ผ ๐ถ๐.) ⛔

• Without spoilers, the side & minor characters and story overall are about as interesting as a box of rusted coins as is Oriko's character, she's likable, yes, so is Deku, but they're not interesting.⛔
• Hence, this would've better off as a full on comedy Doujinshi, thus it can go all the way with it's macrocreep pandering and ๐ฏ๐ฒ ๐บ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ฌ ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ฏ๐ฒ, the story and it's comedy potential otherwise feels held back by the fetish niche itself trying to be public, limited, it's nerfed.
Cause Fetishes aren't upgrades to human experience, they're gltiches. Not advantages (like good looks), or something good. They're crutches. So to base a story around that superficial is uphill battling. ⛔

Doesn't break new ground that hasn't been tread already by a previous GTS take, cause GTS is by design: Garbage.
4/๐๐ I know there are types who will be into this regardless, aka zealots.
But for the general public with taste for competence? ๐๐จ๐ญ ๐๐๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐๐๐, just watch Desert Punk, there's literally a dream sequence where the mc is a mini-mi on the cleavage of one of the main heroines bosoms. See? We got our looming mommy fix.
If you want to waste time on something poorly written but it's entertaining, decent action, funny at times, and has some heart, just go read ๐๐ผ๐ธ๐ ๐ก๐ผ ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ผ.
2025:
As expected it got worse, author added more giant chics, cause they ran out of ideas. The situations just perpetually repeat the same creepy punchline- as Chp 143 is some of the worst manga writing i've ever seen in 2025, if not ever.
The girl not only gets bigger from getting attention (which is just as dumb as that nurse bitch who grows from water) but she speaks in third person, so we can add infantile to the list, just....
Worse than I remember, all the praises prior will remain because they're still relevant (because back then the title was new & the author didn't lose their own plot being a macrogoof).
- Fetishists will always re-tread the same tropes they do in their little cult circles because they're addicts to the delusionist cope called "fetish fantasy". If you insist on shoving your crap down the throat of the public, raise the bar and stop doing what you people have been doing for the past 20 years.
You'd think someone so eager to push GTS propaganda on the public square for the hundreth time but this time it actually got some traction, YOU'D think they'd reel it in and try to raise the bar. Hence "macrocreep", pure NPC, drone creeper shit.
Home's just keep vindicating what I've been saying, proving my point.
They can't help themselves but do the same shit, its like they're stuck in a quantum bubble, when they reel in the psycho crap, then that excess energy is redirected to growth, ass, panties, breaking shit (but the mini-mi's have more plot armor, yippy!! ) & stupid size puns.
The same shit in doujinshi's, and their gentle genre porn comics, aint nothing about this fresh, vibrant, good, original or new. It's just visible, that's it.
That's the only difference here. These folk are consistently talented in art, animation, production, it's actually mindblowing-- but genuinely incapable of originality or breaking the story free from the fetishism, because they themselves are slaves to it. Thus the writing is always & I mean ALWAYS garbage, from that Mark 'Deaf GTS' guy from waaay back to these new bloods.
It's in-fucking-sane how consistent the lack of quality it possesses despite how good it looks, like a golden turd.
So it began as tolerable, fun trash, but as is, the title has stopped pretending it wasn't always fetishy garbage.
2/10 Should've stayed as a one-shot (to preserve whatever authenticity it possessed, & it did have some, even if barely) or just been a doujinshi in the first place.
