This chapter, like volumin, suck. That all.

And before any outraged reaction ("WAHHH why are you reading something you hate") [...]

"hahahaha I want attention so I mock a story you like and call you delusional to show you how much smarter and enlightened I am compared to you". Here! Have your little sugar of attention, good boy!

[...] they are either incoherent or downright too damn ridiculous to take seriously to begin with.

They're not though.

I agree most when Mei stated she was immature. She has never been able to respond properly to Yuzu's feelings and instead dragged her along for Mei's own selfish desires.

It's unfair to Yuzu and it's unforgivable to part ways with the only person that loves you unconditionally with a note. Mei might as well kicked her down and stepped on her repeatedly while saying "I love you." it's cruel and cowardly making Yuzu suffer because Mei can't get a hold of herself

Of course I don't hate Mei but you can't help but facepalm as you read the letter. I want to make one thing clear

Mei does not deserve Yuzuru. If she can't push aside her family matters and love Yuzu with even half of the love Yuzu offers her, it's clear that the two aren't meant to be together. Yuzu has been trying SO HARD since day 1 to make the relationship work and Mei has been reluctant and pushes away Yuzu's advances. She's doing this against the most genuine person she'll ever know. I hate the lack of trust Mei shows towards Yuzu as if she's testing her loyalty for the fun of it, not taking account Yuzu's feelings.

If Mei truly leaves I hope she feels guilty to the point where she can't sleep at night. I don't want Yuzu to chase her only to get her heart broken again. Yuzu deserves better

Man, Misuzi, how could you forget to fellate Nakatani? That's lazy and it has less impact this way. More punch, I say.

I, what?

Dafuq just happened!!!?

What just happened chapter 36 did mie drump yuzu what chapter did she dump her was there time leap there to much question that leaving you

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH OH NO NO NO, NO WAY, SABOU SHITTING OUT YET ANOTHER ATROCIOUS CHAPTER AND EMPHASIZING THE FACT MEI IS A BLAND, GOOD FOR NOTHING, WORTHLESS, INSENSITIVE, SELFISH DOG? MUH FAMILY NAME, MUH HONOR

Why am I not surprised? And before any outraged reaction ("WAHHH why are you reading something you hate") to my opinion of this awfully long joke, and its delivered further confirmation that this trash is nothing but comedy gold worth material, yes, I find surprisingly poor writing in my manga to be very entertaining, it being beyond hilarious and making me laugh is the only fuel I need to keep up with it. I am not forcing myself in any way to engage in it, as it's extremely easy to dismiss any of the plot lines since they are either incoherent or downright too damn ridiculous to take seriously to begin with. The best part of this is that you don't necessarily have to be an elitist to pick on the shit fest Citrus was meant to be from early on.

But hey, at least it's "not boring" like other yuri titles, right? My favorite part in all of this is seeing these poor, desperate bumpkins attempt to defend this soulless offense to both the yuri and romance genres. Just how much of a blind, delusional apologist do you have to be at this point? You're more than allowed and welcome to enjoy Citrus, but I would frankly love to see what's the excuse this time. There's one every month, after all.

ps just save Yuzu and Harumin from this chaotic cancer once and for all

Just gonna step in at this point and state that any more posts along these lines, from ANYONE will be considered trolling and dealt with accordingly.

Should you really, truly need to though, Tumblr is right over here.

The author should just have ended the series this chapter and turned it into in a timeless yuri masterpiece.

I'm fine if it ends like this tbh. Just end it cuz it's not even fun to read.

It's funny that japanese readers are saying your exact words after the latest chapter, and I'm not even fucking around.
Culture shock indeed.

Anyone notice that that the Tachibana sisters are the only characters not shown? Just found that amusing.

AnimexObsession posted:

It might be 'low quality' writing compared to other manga such as One Punch Man etc., but this is a drama manga about two 16 year old steph-sisters falling in love. With the base plot that is has, there isn't much to work with to make it an amazing well thought out deep emotional introspective manga.

It actually had potential to do it. The first few chapters were great and could be taken into different direction. But Saburouta did not capitalized on it and decided to write cheap soap opera instead.

Oh man, I know this will turn into a happy end, I hope so (and a average to good one, please), but in this chapter I cried like a little baby, damn it, this went right in the feels...

I feel like saburouta could end Citrus with 10 volumes (40 chapters) if she wanted to rush things, but since this series is very popular and is getting her lots of bank it’s possible for saburouta to make Citrus 12 volumes long. 12 volumes would be great as long as she doesn’t squeeze in anymore melodrama and just focuses on fleshing out Yuzu and Mei’s relationship.

We all know Citrus is going to have a happy ending. It’s all up to saburouta to make the happy ending a good one.

I think there's a 50/50 chance that this is the case. Citrus is making Saburouta mad money, so she's obviously going to continue it. But at the same time, it's been going on for 5 years. I have to wonder if she's starting to get tired of the series, hence the time skip, and wants to speed things up a little. (Also, even if she does continue it, who's to say she won't put in more drama again just so she can keep making more bank?)

Ending it at Vol. 12 would be great, though. That's, what, 12 more chapters? That should be enough to wrap up everything else in a neat little package and with a good happy ending. That's much better than just rushing it in 4 chapters and ending the series at 10 vols. with an over-the-top cliche happy ending like some people are speculating.

Seems to be still ingrained in most mangakás and the real/major audience (Japanese people) the idea of Yuri as a fuc***g big bad drama with cliché happy end, I don't total dislike, actually I think that drama is important to to every story, but good drama, not this thing with fiancés, and outing (oh, I'm a girl I can't date girls) and things like this. Of course I'll continuing reading, but I'm kind of tired because most of the authors continue to write in this way.

Also I know I can most of the time look into a work and use a logical view, such as know that in the end things will end up well, which is better than the previous trending with tragedy ending, but it's hard to maintain this thought with the middle fuc**ng up everything like 'my feels' with so much angst, LOL.

And because this, now I'm more into Manhwa, that we have much less material, but in comparison have much more mature stories (at least I feel that), which have drama, a lot tbh, but I feel that is less (not without any) cliché drama.

(sorry for bad English, I'm a non native speaker writing in a mix of rage, sadness and crying)

I was just looking around on twitter to see more people crying about chapter 36 and some people was saying that will be a total of 50 chapter, someone even posted some print https://twitter.com/Clairthompsn/status/964878467576844290, not that this kind of source is reliable but I really hope so

this is fine

Told you, I didn't have to explain how bad this chapter was, everyone else is doing it for me.

what the fuck i just read

Disappointed in this ending here. Very disappointed.

Disappointed in this ending here. Very disappointed.

As several people have pointed out, it's not the ending.

I'm not exactly a fan of Mei - never been but I'm not particularly mad at her in this chapter. I felt it was a necessary turning point for both of them to "mature".

Up until now Yuzu had been floating in the clouds - so straightforward and in love. She's so into the moment it's unrealistic. On the other hand, Mei was just "pretending" to be mature. Now it will be interesting to see how they move on from here, I personally liked Yuzu's character development.

One way or another, even if the marriage was decided by Mei or their tradition, Udagawa-san can still back out if he feels like it (if he's the fiancé). I didn't think there's a possibility of Citrus going over them being high schoolers but now I kinda want to see how this would be laid out.

I feel sad for Yuzu nonetheless but it's a good chapter, thanks for the trans and scans. :)

MAH HEART!
Ugh, but seriously though, I hate this "I am in very gay love with you but I have to marry a man because of responsibilities and expectations" trope because yuri has such a bumpy track-records when it comes to happy endings. Normally, I would have just been able to tell myself that it'll be fine, it'll work out in the end, but because it's yuri, it can go either way because drama. I can seriously see the next chapter taking place after a friggin' time-skip where Mei has been married for years. Ugh!
