I gotta say I've fallen in love with this protag, she's the fucking cliche / trope destroyer. I feel like in every chapter when drama happens, she just doesn't give a shit and pushes through. When time I get worried she might run away and get into an emotional crisis like every other MC she just runs up to her edgy waifu and smacks some sense into her.

Have you actually read the manga? I love how people like to shit on a story they don't even know. Ah! good fun.

I've read Citrus and I am only commenting on the comparison of Mishio to Mei and Ena to Yuzu. Mishio and Mei can only be compared in that they are both seemingly aloof and both have difficulties, but otherwise their backgrounds and reasons so far are completely different. As for Ena and Yuzu, their personalities differ greatly where Ena has patience and observational consideration of others while Yuzu often has little of both. The two pairings are completely different from my point of view when considering what we know so far. Ena and Mishio are actually pretty good at communicating with each other.

If I'm to comment on Citrus itself, I'll do so in the Citrus discussion thread.

I feel like this chapter is a repetition of previous chapters, but at least it still looks good... :L

Was nurse her ex girlfriend or what ?
What just happened to mishio

It getting interesting
Thank anyone how could explain to me chap 5

She is coming

Jesus. Ena is the most anti-drama character I've ever seen. This girl defuses situations like she's been trained by a damn bomb squad. Yuri needs more professionals of her caliber.

Lol @ trained by a bomb squad XD

Agreed though; I just hope she stays that way and whatever drama is coming, she can diffuse it.

I love Ena. She's the main character every shoujo story needs.

Am I just paranoid, or is the whole "School nurse casually remarks that love between girls is just a phase" thing turning into a legit yuri trope? Seriously, I feel like I've seen SO many nurse characters in yuri stories throw this shit around. If it was just coming from teacher characters, I'd get it, but friggin' medical professionals should know better!

Ok...so she has a slight problem with abandonment issues

Based on the last time I read it, I believe the nurse only meant that it was make-believe for the transfer student. She mentioned the possibility that it might have been legitimate/serious for Ena, even if not the other girl. I could have understood it wrong, but that is how it seemed to me. It'll just require more story/background to tell for certain.

Isn't the "it's just a phase, she'll grow up soon" trope a typical japanese adult thing? Gay men are seen as funny because of tv shows, but women are seen as childish...

Anyway, I like Ena a lot. Every edgy character needs a down-to-earth girl. ^o^

Slight

I've also seen that a few times. I think a couple of them it turned out that the female school nurse was herself gay and repressed, or had been bitten in love and was jaded, and thus just pushing her own emotional insecurities onto her students (so it's just part of the plot of the story, nothing to do with nurses in general).

But even if they're just honestly attempting to counsel students, it might make sense. Even in the US or other places where gay marriage is legal, there are hold-outs who believe for whatever reason that homosexuality is a choice. Medical professionals are still human and subject to their societies' norms. Even if the medical guidelines are updated (they're often not), individuals still have their own prejudices and schools.

If it's the school nurse's role to counsel students, then perhaps it is realistic that it would often be the school nurse who tells students that homosexuality is just a phase, and that they'd believe that doing so was part of their job and in students' best interests.

by the way, that's not what's going on in this particular story

"Well this might look alright, but the taste is off. Just like me." God Mishio is so funny and dramatic lol XD

oh so the nurse isn't her ex, just a cunt.

I no longer trust school nurses and Ena is best girl.

Ena is the best! Truly worthy of Madoka's sacrifice!

Again Dram Drama Drama im getting sick of it

Bless Ena and bless you for this beautiful comment

The Bitch Sensei was right. Ena is what Mishio needs.

Tf with yuri nurses theres always a shitty nurse

I've been feeling exactly the same way. Girl cuts through the angst like a cheerful chainsaw. So refreshing.

So, the nurse actually isn't her previous lover as expected... she's just some random person who went to the same school and who's stirring up shit for absolutely no reason? Wow...

You know, I thought for sure that the chapter would begin with something like "Sorry, Ena, we're gonna ostracize you now 'cause we suspect you're gay," but I'm glad to see what actually happened was the exact opposite of that. Ena truly is the cliche killer.
