Mysterious Girlfriend X

This is a sweet love story. The weird part is it is based upon exchanging drool as a way to share emotions and physical sensations. This act only works between select individuals who have a mysterious bond. The girl, Mikoto Urabe, is very mysterious in every way. She hides her face behind long bangs. She might have suffered a childhood trauma - she does not like to be touched and carries scissors in her underwear for self defense. However, she does fall in love with Tsubaki and while the road is slow, someday they will be exceptionally close.

Genevieve Simmons smokey voicework as Urabe really adds a lot to the story. Josh Grelle is a solid countpoint as Tsubaki. The anime is done in an old fashioned 90's artistic style, but with the high quality of the best modern anime.

I loved this series the stuff maybe a bit wierd but its so hot so beautiful and such a pure depiction of love do check it out. I was so happpy and sad it was so good series and that it was gonna end but it was so good really loved it.

This is one of the top 10 animated series that I have every seen.

Hope you have read the official story line.

It might seem a bit gross - drool. The whole series is about drool, drool and drool. Yet, its never gross. Instead they make it so damn cute and adorable. Its amazing how they are able to pull this off. :-).......

And I think they were able to do it because this is one of the sweetest love stories that I have seen (more than Before Midnight)! And by sweet I don't mean clichéd, lovey dooey, etc. On the contrary its full of surprises!

This series is very short. Just 13 episodes. A total of 4 hrs 20 mins. I saw it in a single stretch and felt very disappointed when it got over. It was that quick.

Yes, definitely recommended.

Thank you for reading. Cheers. :-).

I was shocked when I was recommended this it was good but I was shocked in a weird way if I summarised this show and told it to myself I defo would not have watched it but going in blind it was the right decision one of my favourite shows I have watched this year I don't really care about the kiss Btw I think I will read the manga but I think but not sure yet I would recommend But I want to mention that it shows love in a way where there is no need for all the fixings if u get what I mean it is just really a true bond and that's the best thing about this show it's about the bond that the characters have and I respect that.

From the start it was weird, but a good weird, and you suspect the story and mystery unfolds as the episodes progress but you never get that satisfaction but the whole time you hope you would as it was so close to opening up, but doesn't, then it ends. Urabe must have some major traumatic issues as she won't let her boyfriend, whom she is basically obsessed with and loves with sooo much devotion, touch her even with a hug. There are certain points where they open up, have a break through in their relationship, and emotionally at it's climax it should flow the way Tsubaki naturally and instinctually wants to embrace Urabe and then it's ruined as she won't let him even get close and there is no resolution to this behavior and just becomes frustrating and annoying towards the last few episodes, with being only 13 episodes and all. I understand that initially the she should be closed off and what not, but they should have eventually had Urabe open up and let her guard down with Tsubaki, with her being so obsessed with him, but it doesn't happen and they just seem to be strangers that walk home and swap spit once a day, it's frustrating and weird that the writers decided to keep Tsubaki at arms length from Urabe and not elaborate on the many questions that revolve around Urabe when it could have been so much more emotional and captivating throughout the series. Huge miss.

This would have been easily rated higher if not for the weird tactile eccentricities of Urabe.
