I really don't understand why this manga is the most popular yuri manga. I liked it until chapter 8 I think, but it's way too bad. Mei is too boring and serious, no one would give a fuck about her if she wasn't pretty, she is too cold and plain, and there are enough characters like that in yuri and anime in general. Nothing interesting about her, no development even after her and Yuzu became a couple, she doesn't seem to know how love works. And Yuzu is too in love with her and I don't even get why, it's annoying she is the only lovey dovey in their relationship. But the worst part isn't that, the series goes around in circles, I don't think the autor knows how to put drama or make a story interesting without love triangles. Until chapter 3 it was ok, first appeared the girl with the big eyebrows, then Matsuri , then the fucking sisters and the other stories like Harumi's sister and the student council are pretty fucking boring. I really liked Citrus about two years ago, but Saburouta seems to run out of ideas, it's a shame because I believed this story had potencial. Oh well... I guess it's popular because the art is good? But I've seen pretty good art in other yuris that aren't really known, how bad.
This is spot on. I find Mei boring too. And also i don't get how Yuzu is getting sooo flustered around Mei every single time, despite being around her around 1 year-ish. Like by that time she should at least be used to it and stop being so nervous. It just seems like her behavior doesn't make any sense, it's just like that so Citrus can be more interesting.
I think Citrus is popular, because it has great art, and also it was good in the beggining, so people have stick to it during the years.
To be honest, at that point I think they should just do it. Not only it's obvious the author draggs it beause she wants to keep the readers excited about next chapter, but since it never happens this effects the manga negatively. Like after some point, the readers won't be excited anymore, but rather tired of it.
Besides that, i don't really know how Citrus could progress now besides having meaningless stuff in each chapter. Like ok, the date is fine, but feels meaningless. It's slice of life, but also needs something more than just it.
Maybe Saburuta could focus back on Mei's familly and create some conflict from there. Or explore Yuzu's coming out to Harumin about dating Mei. Or even bumbing in one of her old friends with whom she said she wanted to get a boyfriend in the first chapter
