Mysterious Girlfriend X

This series has been on my want to watch list for at least a year now 
And boy am I glad I finally watched it.  What I enjoyed the most about it was how it explored not just the desires and awakening sexuality of a teenage boy, but also of a teenage girl.  Her feelings, wishes, fears and desires felt as fully realised as his.  

This was a fascinating anime, both innocent and risqué at the same time.  The characters are well drawn, and I really like that the anime doesn't rely on revealing uniforms to allow the female characters be sexual.

Mysterious Girlfriend X isn't free of tropes, but each one is treated in the same fresh, innocent manner, and avoids cliches. 

I will probably want to watch this one again 😊
