Mysterious Girlfriend X Chapters 1 & 2 Story & Art
by Riichi Ueshiba Review
Makoto Urabe is a rather odd person
when Tsubaki and her first meet. Soon afterwards, Tsubaki finds himself tasting
her drool. Thus begins the relationship of a very different romance.
Serialized in the monthly seinen
(men’s) afternoon, Mysterious Girlfriend X is intriguing in an almost bizarre
sense. Urabe is framed as a very peculiar person, thus far it is far away from
standard fair for Japanese comics. The character designs have an older, 90s
feel to them.
Thus far, the comic hasn’t gone to
the extremes the anime did in pandering to the particular fetish the series
obviously is meant to pander to. The more grounded and realistic backgrounds
certainly help the comic’s charm. The jury is still out on whether this comic
is worth following for the long term but the series is off to a decent start.
Rating: 6/10
