A high school romance comedy based on the allure and co-dependence between two outcasts which inspired a hit animation currently available in English by Sentai Films and CrunchyRoll.
Riichi Ueshiba (aka Reach Ueshiba; born 1969) is a veteran comic
artist from the southern Japanese city of Fukuoka.
His early days as a comic artist were developed while he was going
to the prestigous Waseda University in Tokyo back in 1990. After
his second year in college, over summer break, Ueshiba took his
first step into the realm of professional comics by writing the
script for what would become his hit debut work Discommunication.
He would then submit the work to Kodansha's Chiba Tetsuya Contest
for New Artists, and to his surprise the short would go on to pick
up the General Award for their 1991 edition granting him the option
to be signed up to work on a series for the publisher.
His latest work Mysterious Girlfriend X was adapted into an
animated TV series distibuted in the US by Sentai Films.
“Mysterious Girlfriend X is mostly subtle and kind of sweet, even when it creeps toward lewdness, and manages to have an addictive quality that can only be attributed to that damn drool.” — Otaku USA
