Are there mangas similar to Mysterious Girlfriend X?!
Question: Are there mangas similar to Mysterious Girlfriend X!?
I recently read this manga, and I thought it was amazing!. The art style on it was amazing and it was like nothing I've seen before!. I was thinking if there were any other mangas similar to it!. When I say similar I mean not like a Shoujo manga with that weird art style, but something sort of like Mysterious Girlfriend X with romance, I've only liked a few mangas with the art style that most Shoujo's which is why I request if anyone has read something like Mysterious Girlfriend X, thanks!Www@Enter-QA@Com
Answers:
I suggest looking at Ueshiba Riichi's other works (MGX's mangaka):

Yume Tsukai - sequel of DSW
http://www!.mangaupdates!.com/series!.html!?!.!.!.
* They're both seinen, ecchi, romances like MGX!.

Other than the two aforementioned titles, MGX's style is a little unique in its themes!. Can you be a little more detailed in what aspects you liked about MGX, other than a similar themed romance!? And also aspects you don't like - such as "shoujo art style" & possibly romantic angst!? Examples:
=== 1 on 1 character focus (as opposed to Harems)
-- Midori no Hibi - http://www!.mangaupdates!.com/series!.html!?!.!.!.
-- Nana to Kaoru - http://www!.mangaupdates!.com/series!.html!?!.!.!.
=== Light level of ecchi / fan-service
--Little Jumper - http://www!.mangaupdates!.com/series!.html!?!.!.!.
-- Toradora - http://www!.mangaupdates!.com/series!.html!?!.!.!.
-- Rec - http://www!.mangaupdates!.com/series!.html!?!.!.!.
=== Storyline that focuses on "teasing"
-- Sundome - "mature teasing"
http://www!.mangaupdates!.com/series!.html!?!.!.!.
Or are you prioritizing a certain aspect above the others!?

K, guess I'm looking for a romantic comedy series with an original "quirk!."
* = priority recommendations
-Angel Densetsu - getting past first impressions!. Art gets better with time!.
http://www!.mangaupdates!.com/series!.html!?!.!.!.
* Midori no Hibi - mentioned before, "literal bonding / attachment"
-Nana to Kaoru - mentioned before, "secret bond"
-Sundome - mentioned before, it's mature but IMO it's the closest to MGX I can find!.
* The World Only God Knows - all I can say is "surprisingly good!."
http://www!.mangaupdates!.com/series!.html!?!.!.!.
Seriously, matching MGX is hard >_>
----------- [Edit2]
Yeah, Angel Densetsu is an acquired taste!. And it's only in the later half of the manga does any kind of light romance form!. I only picked it because of its "quirk" (the guy is freaky looking but innocent presonality)!.
I can only point to towards the slice of life romance series now, as there aren't that many more manga that "could" match MGX
