Mysterious Girlfriend X ep1


This show is all kinds of weird. It is not for the general audience. Tsubaki-kun's school gets a transfer student of the weirdest type. Anti-social and with strange habits, Urabe seems an unlikely object of Tsubaki's affection.One day, Tsubaki ends up tasting Urabe's saliva and there's no going back.


That is a good question, bro.

This saliva-swapping love story is 1/2 fetish factory and 1/2 twisted high school love story. Viewers may be better off reading a chapter or two of the manga before jumping into this.



This is a difficult show to evaluate partly because of how awkward the subject matter is. If the odd perverseness of the whole thing doesn't throw you off, the plot is hysterical. Additionally, the artwork keeps the uniqueness of the manga and Urabe's voice actress is a fantastic fit. So as a whole package, if you can get over shuddering from the weirdness of it all (or happen to like the fetish stuff), this has pretty high production value.

Ah, the panty scissors make their first appearance.

Rating: B+
