Description

Akira Tsubaki happens to fall hard for Mikoto Urabe, who just transferred into his class. This obsession eventually leads to Akira building up an extremely high fever. Urabe claims the cause is lovesickness which only she can cure! As Akira frantically tries to work out the antidote, he begins to suspect that Urabe may not be entirely who she seems. This series is currently outperforming Vertical's other sleeper hit Ajin on Crunchyroll, and looks set to be the next hit manga series.

Author Bio

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.
