I think this show is pretty great. Yes the whole drool thing is really weird (let me fill you in if you don't know what I'm talking about. Basically, our main character, Tsubaki, decides to taste his classmate's (Urabe), drool after he sees it on her desk after school. He ends up becoming addicted to her drool and the two begin a relationship.) , but if you can get past that, you'll have a rather good show on your hands. It's nice to see something unique with a little originality. It isn't a very stereotypical and lazy romance anime. The whole drool aspect, as weird as it is, does bring something new to the table. That being said, there is one major issue with this show. Tsubaki's and Urabe's relationship moves very, very slow. Infuriatingly slow actually. So infuriating that at the end of the show you will most likely be screaming "THAT"S IT!?". I wish there would have been more episodes so we could have seen this relationship grow. I would have no problem with this relationship going as slow as it did, but with only 13 episodes, their relationship doesn't go that far at all. Besides that, I'd say this show is certainly worth watching. Just try to get past the drool thing and don't expect their relationship to move very quickly.

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.

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. :-).

Best romance i've seen that took a very special place in my heart. I will never forget how awesome it was to watch this series and then after 3 years reading the manga.

VA for Urabe is absolutely fantastic, and it's a pity that she hasn't voiced any other anime.

Never seen such type of showing relationship and i really don't know why but the saliva thing was not gross or frustrating for me.

Again best romance.

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.

The series follows the relationship of Akira Tsubaki and Mikoto Urabe. Urabe is a transfer student who recently came to Tsubaki's school.The story starts from boy meets girls , how the relationship progress After a series of strange events, Tsubaki finds himself addicted to Urabe's drool.This series is very entertaining the characters are well played and very lovable.The story has many quirks like Urabe claims the addiction as love sickness, Panty scissors , strange dreams etc...as the relationship slowly progresses, focusing on the odd bond that comes out of the drool.A must see Romantic Comedy , you will laugh , get grossed out or maybe not but one thing for sure you will be entertained...

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 anime is very unique. The drool bond that Urabe and Tsubaki have is pretty gross but if u look past that you'll have a wholesome time. This anime has done so many things right and it's sad we won't get a second season. I recommend this anime to everyone who loves the romance genre!

This show is definitely not normal. But I would love to see the show continued, sadly the creator is not a very social person and does not have a work email or anything that I know about. I love how the creator used a mix of mystery and weirdness. I have watched the show 2 time before I believe I really understood what the message was. Side note I tried this with my girl and let's just say it is just the show thing lol (seriously don't try). One thing about the show that makes me mad is the ending! The ending had sooo much potential but they did not finish it... I'm sure the creator moved on but I would love for him to make more, I can't stress it enough how much I want more of it. It is funny I thought I was just some cringe thing on the first episode but the mysterious intent made me want to watch the next episode I think I deserves to be on Crunchyroll again! Make more if u see this creator!

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.

Mysterious Girlfriend X is an anime that stands out with its unique premise and unconventional romance. The story revolves around Tsubaki and Urabe, whose relationship begins with an unusual exchange of drool, leading to a deeper, mysterious bond. The plot delves into themes of intimacy and connection in a refreshingly original way.

The art style complements the quirky narrative, with distinctive character designs and a surreal atmosphere. The characters are well-developed, particularly Urabe, whose enigmatic nature adds intrigue to the story. Their interactions are authentic, showcasing genuine growth in their relationship.

Overall, Mysterious Girlfriend X is a captivating watch for those looking for something different. Its blend of mystery, romance, and unique storytelling makes it a memorable series.

I was severally devastated in the final second of the anime and it made me sad to have to see this come to an end. I have watched many anime's in my life but this is the only one that has made me wright a description of it. My only wish is to see a second season but all of the good anime's unfortunately only have one amazing season. I'm fortunate some kid in my school forced me to watch this (even though I was going to anyway). All I need in life is cars, cameras, and anime specifically this one because it just brought me to much joy and every good emotion. I want to thank the creator of this anime and to consider making a season two.
