The timing of the release couldn't be more ironic. Volume 4 (that ends with this chapter) hit stands this week.

Honestly, such pointless drama. I suppose that's realistic in a high school romance, though?

Indeed it is...

You are aware that Yuri Project is the group responsible for this chapter and not Dynasty, right?

I am aware. I meant in general because so much was uploaded for Christmas.

Fair enough then. The way you worded it ended up making it seem like you thought Dynasty was responsible for this entire chapter.

Thank you folks. This was such a nice surprise, especially the last part.
Damn. The aura, the hairstyle, everything about Harumin's sister will be in my memory for a long time to come as I read lesbian novels featuring cool, unfeeling characters.

Let me stare and drool at it for a while

Ya, she hot. Sucks that she'll be the next troublemaker.

OMG! So cute! With bear-chan(and Yuzu's awesome cool line)
I just did a full re-read since I had been waiting for the official scantalated release...and I am in no way dissapointed! I hope the next ch comes out soon...(well at least sooner than it took for this one ^_^)
Thanks for scantalating :)

Holy fuck a chapter that isn't 100% filled to the brim with stupidity. I mean it's like 90% stupid BUT HEY I'LL SUPPORT THAT PROGRESS!

Yuzu & Mei Win Best Pair Couple http://yurireviews.blogspot.de/2015/11/whos-best-yuri-pairing-yuri-tournament_22.html

Really...? Why...They're both so god damn stupid, frustrating, and annoying though...I mean I'm fucking ecstatic these two fucking idiots managed to speak actual words to each other and get together but that's only because if they had spent any more time being oblivious morons that make harem MCs look like Sherlock Holmes, I would have invented a machine that can insert me into fiction and beat the shit out of the two myself lol.

EDIT: THEY BEAT AKKO AND MARI!? WTF!? HAVE I STUMBLED INTO AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE WHERE EVERYBODY HASN'T BEEN INCREDIBLY ANNOYED WITH MEI AND YUZU FOR THE ENTIRE FUCKING SERIES OR SOMETHING!? I don't like this strange, unfamiliar world...
In all seriousness though, I can only chalk this kind of outcome up to people not really remembering Girlfriends anymore since it was a pretty damn long time ago when it was relelvant, because this...I'm sorry but, imo, and I know a lot of people agree with me here, Mei and Yuzu are just aggravating idiots and this series, while filled to the brim with drama and suspense that keeps you coming back and FORCES YOU to root for them, isn't written very well and doesn't make any god damn sense half the time and lacks any sort of relatability with these characters because they don't have thought processes...well, they just don't have thought processes lol. It's fucking worse than a good chunk the soap operas and telenovelas that are on TV right (and I KNOW this because my grandmother LOVES them) lol. People read this series for the same reason they watch any Shonda Rhimes series.

You forgot about the kisses and the pushing down and overall lewdness. That's why they won.

Oh yeah...I forgot a lot of people read yuri for...other reasons lol. But, no, I HAVE to force myself to believe that this only happened because Girlfriends is old now and a lot of people don't remember it. I HAVE TO TELL MYSELF THAT TO GET TO SLEEP TONIGHT lol. To me this is basically the equivalent of Donald Trump winning the election because holy fuck. Except less racist lol.
EDIT: Now that I read the final chapter of The Real Her, I feel like a more modern pairing that is more deserving of this title would be Yuuka and Moe. Because they are just wonderful.

Well that was bullshit. . . Just end it already! Because you stop one thing just to start another . . . But this'll end up like SAO and people will buy the hell out of it.
I miss actual good manga: Girlfriend's, Whispered Words, anything by Itou Hachi, anything by Jin Takemiya, and etc.

I can't read Japanese, and my google translator literally is crap, so I was wondering if it was confirmed that citrus will be an anime?

  • Thanks!

Ugh . . . I hope not.

This is still going?
huh, I thought it ended by now, as someone who dropped it I have to ask, is it still dragging everything out to almost namek levels?

VOLUMES

at least.

I dropped it too. But evidently ended up back here for some reason just to see, if it got any better. It did not.

I may stick around only for this character.

Thank you someone with good taste! Damn! I can't even. I don't like Yuzu as a character and the minor characters have more growth development than the MC's do it's Freakin annoying that people "love" this series so much. I've read better fanfics and YouTube comments than Citrus

It's not like these japanese readers know what's good or anything.

Every manga should cater to western audience, obviously. Or better : they should cater to me.

That should be "cater to Nez". But otherwise, you're pretty much right.

In this (yuri) world there are two types of people: Citrus-haters and ... well .. let's just say Citrus defenders. Just like with Stretch, the tactic of dragging it out forever works, on balance. For every person you lose you may gain about a person-and-a-half, and that's enough. It occurs to me Stretch's name was a stealth pun in English commenting on this tactic. I finally reconciled to the New Love Antagonist of the Month/Season nature of Citrus and enjoyed it for what it was, partly thanks to struggling to do that with Stretch and maybe with Fluttering Feelings. Citrus is, to tsundere stories and long-drawn-out yuri romances, what Strawberry Panic was to Maria-sama ga Miteru - kind of taking every trope and ramping it up to 11. But we're girls! But she has a fiance! But she's my step-sister! It's not as if I really like you, Yuzu! Etc.

YourShoes: it's a romantic drama, and it's a lot like a weekly tv series. The Big Obstacle to Her Love/Villain of the Week gets defeated and the next one appears, tune in next week!

I have no problem with people liking things that I don't like (which is why I emphasized in my comments that it was just my opinion; I'm not the person you replied to btw but the person that that person replied to lol) but it's not even arguable anymore that these characters are absolute idiots. EVERYBODY AGREES ON THAT and its exactly what EVERY SINGLE COMMENT about them EVERY SINGLE CHAPTER says lol. So I just don't understand how they could possibly have been voted best yuri pair much less over a couple that everybody who read the series they're from loves. In other words, I quite simply don't understand the reasoning behind the results.

I'm neither though. I'm not going to bother defending it to people but I'm not really going to hate on it either. I just want to see how it continues developing right now.
