Nazo no Kanojo X (Mysterious Girlfriend X) Review

Mysterious Girlfriend X (Nazo no Kanojo X) is a 12 volume manga written by Riichi Ueshiba adapted into a 13 episode anime. Although is anime can be weird and rather freaky at times in is genuinely a good anime. After I got over most of the unusual factors of this show I found it a rather enjoyable slice of life, supernatural, romance anime with a touching ending as well.


Summary
Mikoto Urabe a mysterious 16 year old new girl arrives in school in the same class as Tsubaki Akira. Urabe is rather strange sleeping at her desk, having sisccors hidden in her stockings, and having laughing outbursts. One day Tsubaki decides to taste Urabe's drool. From then on Urabe and Tsubaki are now in a relationship sharing their feelings in forms of drool (their version of a kiss).


How it Could be Better
I don't have much about how this anime could be better. Even though I wasn't comfortable with the strange factors it is probably the main theme and focus of the show so it would ruin the show if it were taken out. It really did give me the nice, soft, warm, fuzzy feelings a romance anime should give you. Though the weirdness might be bothersome once you get over it like I do then it turns out to be good show.


My Conclusion
I would give this anime 4.5/5 or a 9/10 it was a pretty good anime once I got over the strange factors of this show. I was able to enjoy this anime once I began thinking of the drool sharing as a kiss or some other form of affection and imagining that instead. I also found the relationship between Urabe and Tsubaki rather romantic and would call them a rather underrated couple. Because of the strange factors and a few erotic scenes I would recommend this for adults and mature teenagers only (It is rated M for Mature). Overall, I found it a good anime that combined romance, slice of life, and supernatural.
