Mysterious Girlfriend X 3

Girlfriend: The Mystery Continues

Tsubaki’s old crush, Hayakawa, had been surprisingly okay with his request to taste her drool. In a fit of conscience, Tsubaki stops himself in time, but that leaves Hayakawa wanting a chance to win back Tsubaki’s attention, and so she cooks up a plot to bring both Tsubaki and Urabe to the Hoshinome Girls’ Academy’s eccentric culture festival…“This is the most absurd way to tell what is actually a touching love story of two seemingly socially outcast individuals falling for each other. It minces no words over its belief in the fate that is true love, but doesn’t stumble doing so.” — Fandom PostRiichi 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.
