My point was that it's not exclusively for yuri (i.e. "a yuri forum"). Again, I may be seriously wrong.

I know, I just linked the other one even though she's only the artist because people here would be rustled more because harem y'know?

Let me have my fun :( .

I didn't say anything, then. It doesn't say harem in the tags by the way but the synopsis sure sounded like one.

Yeah, but there's still a lot of anything else going on here.

Again, it IS a yuri thread though, is it not?

It is a Citrus thread before it is a yuri thread, and likewise for Saburouta.

Moving on...

Does anyone think we'll see more of Amemiya in some sort of vengeance/blackmail twist? I rather hope not, just speculating. And what of the chairman, will we see any more of him? As it stands, it's like Saburouta wrote the men out pretty quickly, and that's probably for the best.

You are not wrong. Dynasty is full of yuri, but there's no exclusivity going on, and certainly the people who run the site don't think of it that way.

Argh, I put entirely too much thought into that Citrus "social RPG" idea, and now it's so vivid in my head that I really want to play something like that. Maybe it's time for another run as the female MC on Persona 3 Portable...

Well, I already read chapter 16 and now I'm gonna feel really, really smug, cross my arms, smirk and say this: I told you! I told you guys right when she first appeared that Sara is gonna end up having exactly THAT role! Ha! And that's one in the face of everyone, who told me I was wrong back then! :D That is all.

I still never got anyone else's opinion on Citrus' speculated length... Thoughts?

I'll bet on some 8-10 volumes. If it's not cut short, of course.

I hope it won't get silly lengthy just cos it's popular... it is? I dunno how is it selling in Japan. But I hope it's no more than 8 volumes... I kinda wanted to buy it when the whole thing was done,as a birthday gift to myself ¬¬

If it gets even past 5 volumes, wow, that would be a miracle. Most yuri runs don't even last more than 2-3 volumes, and sometimes, they do not reach completion.

@Chapter 15
Wondrous work and another neat chapter into the bargain! I kind of think that chapters 14-16 are meant to be read back to back, unlike with Matsuri's arc where the story was unfolded with the right amount of suspense in each portion. Thus, with the lengthy downtimes, the pacing is pretty thin and it just feels like you are getting piecemeal for the time value per wait. Eagerly anticipating chapter 16 for sure!

About Chapter 16, there is always the possibility that when (or if?) these two get together manga ends here, however it would be a nice surprise to watch it expanding more after it too. I have some hopes, because in the new chapter, Harumin's sister will apparently be teaching in their school. She seems strict and already has her eyes on Yuzu.

Maybe if Yuzu and Mei start dating, we could be facing the next step of their relationship; being accepted by society and their school. There is still LOT more to this, rather than just started dating and then everything's fine. Life after relationship is longer than the first steps.
Remember, they are still step sisters and them dating would be a huge mess (most probably) by their parents, and i think especially Mei's grandfather.
Honestly, it even could take the turn where he tries to force her into marring an (older) man or he disowes her from everything (a darker twist, i wouldn't mind seeing, cause hey those things happen too).
Plus we haven't seen their parents much either. There are still so many possibilities, but of course that depends on the author. I think Saburuta could keep some of the old characters and start working with them, instead of keeping them for 3 chapters and then all over again. Side characters like Harumin, Matsuri, the twins and Granpa are interesting enough already and they could help expanding on the story if the author works with them too. Could make the manga much longer too :D

Does anybody even care about that anymore? I thought that was resolved after like the first two chapters.

I wasn't reffering to the readers, rather than the character on the manga.
I think if they seriusly started dating, their parents would eventually find out. And there would definetely be some drama there, especially from Mei's grandpa.
Plus it's Japan, when relationships like this are not (mostly) welcomed. I am talking about storyline expanding.

Oh yeah, I meant in the story. The grandfather saw them already if I remember correctly but I may be wrong about that. Matsuri also knows and now just kinda deals with it now I guess. Yuzu seems like the only one to make a big deal out of it.

I mean, being step siblings isn't even a problem. The whole homosexuality thng would probably lead to more problems with the parents.
I don't know how relationships between step siblings are handled in Japan though.

With my slow ass internet, I'm way too lazy to search, honestly. It should be somewhere on the previous 15 pages of this discussion thread. A post in which I basically said I don't believe that Sara and Mei are seriously gonna end up together and that Sara will probably be more of a catalyst to finally bring Mei and Yuzu closer together.

Did anyone really thought that Mei and the this girl who came out of nowhere would ever be a real thing ? It's citrus we are talking about, it is obviously cheap drama to keep the audience captivated. It's not like any other things than Mei/Yuzu ending would ever happen

I see what you mean, but I don't think it's that simple when applied XD
Remember grandfather saw them and became furius. And god knows what Mei told him to make him forget about it. Or maybe he wanted to forget too, that his grandaughter did something like that. But if Mei was really dating Yuzu, I don't think he would be happy. Definetely in the beggining. It wouldn't be a surprise at all if he tried to make Mei marry a man too.

People were talking about how the story will end. I think that the story doesn't necessery end when the characters get in a relationship with each other. There is still much potential to this (like one example with Mei's grandad)
Matsuri could just be in the daily story not like an antagonist (that issue is resolved) but maybe adding some spice into it? You know, those side characters that make the story more interesting.
Also, Saburo Uta's style is to add new characters, make a drama out of it, and then resolve it. Maybe she tries to expand the story by this way? All I am saying is, there are some ways for the manga to be longer, and without new characters coming and going all the time.
And by the looks of the new chapter, it could be an indication that there is some potential for the manga to head this diretion too.

I really don't think that characters accepting Mei and Yuzu as a couple is the problem, unlike most real life situations. They are in the enviable position to live together, date, or do pretty much anything short of public displays of affection without anyone thinking badly of it. They're step sisters, so being together isn't really unnatural to an observer, as long as they keep their intimacy confined to private spaces (which they haven't totally done, admittedly). As for the chairman, I'm sure Mei could've told him that she got mad and accidentally tore Yuzu's blouse open in the scuffle, which isn't entirely untrue and would put the matter to rest with him.

IIRC lesbianism among schoolgirls is not frowned upon, but lesbian relationship among adults is seen as immature in Japan. Not hated, just something you grow out of.
Is there someone in the know (been to Japan or talked to people) who knows what they think about incest?

Chapter 16 marks the end of Volume 4 and each volume is 4 chapters long. So I think is very unlikely for the story to wrap up on just four chapters.

I dissagree on the accepting thing. Maybe their friends would, but their familly no. At least not in the beggining. Story could very easily be explored on that way(drama upon their relationship).
Also, what if Harumin's sister will play that part now? Maybe it's not a coinsidence that author brought her in manga now, that it seems like they will start dating. Why wouldn't she get her earlier if she doesn't play that part? Would be interesting to see a drama non related to love trianglesbut based on real relationship drama

It would be sad if story ends just when they confess to each other and confirm they are dating after all of those failed threesomes lol. We would be left with too many plot holes and unexplored sides.
But that's just my opinion on how the story could develop more (more chapters or volumes) rather than just adding new new characters (who are actually interesting) in an attempt to expand it.
