Harumin is probably confused or is really in love with Yuzu in such a wrong time. And yet she keeps on denying it whenever Matsuri corners her. I hope the next chapter will clear Harumin's feelings towards Yuzu. Also, I like the fluff!

So either Harumin does have feelings for Yuzu, or Matsuri is too focused on Harumin and is making overreaching assumptions about Harumin's motives.

Things like Matsuri saying that Harumin is too affectionate with Yuzu could be read as Matsuri's observations being clouded by jealousy. Even the cover of the story is Matsuri staring at Harumin in the hallway at school, plus Matsuri following Harumin around and spying on her could mean that it's Matsuri's feelings that might be love that the title could be referring to.

Curious to see where it goes, but so far it seems like a plotline that will result in Harumin and Matsuri getting closer.

So it seems is Saburota's birthday

Just speculations based on Harumin's behavior. Harumin saw Mei approaching Yuzu and she instinctively decided to hide and wait, maybe she just wants to give them some privacy? or she feels awkward being with them together?

One thing I know for sure is that Harumin seems to always know when it's not the right time to get involved with Yuzu and Mei especially when she "still didn't know" that they're in a romantic relationship.

When Matsuri confronted Harumin that she's being too affectionate with Yuzu. Harumin acted like she was being caught in the act but she only played it cool. Her expression look like she was being called out for something she always gets away with.

I love me some Mei x Yuzu x Harumim x Matsuri. I hope Sabuoro will go with this route.

Ever since the ending of the main series my brain has been on a partial strike when it comes to thinking about this one--where exactly does this fall in the timeline of the series?

Well, it seems that these chapters, set as a string of days in the Yuzu and Mei's routine during the third year, are before Mei's confession on the couch at the end of 41 and of course before the wedding that probably happens just after graduation.

Mei has just come back, there are some boxes in their room, so she came back the 27th of May, 2 weeks after the balcony scene... the last pages of 41 seems to be some vignettes in the future that she will probably develop during the year. Chapter 2 is m days after ... but Mei is learning to be more open, not enough to be the one who openly jumps on Yuzu at the end of 41 and confess in the spur of the moment.

So we are in the in between the part in the manager's house and the last pages. The spin-off seems to take the road to develop the third year, the big ellipse the author did between the balcony scene and the wedding. So the end is already set, it is more expanding the couple's everyday life and the side-characters adventures around them, how they react and how they will probably set their own goals.

Thanks!

I really hope that Sara and Nina show up soon and get more screen time in this one.

Am hoping for that too.

I agree with this. I don't think Harumin loves Yuzu romantically.

Mei is really dislikable with her communication disorder.

Yeah, she seems to go well beyond stoicism/reserve to something more like compulsive not-talking.

Well, the original series had moments like Harumin feeding Yuzu etc. Harumin's just the touchy feely type. However, Harumin did those things without realizing Yuzu and Mei were dating at the time and Mei likely wouldn't be too happy if she ever saw them doing those things together, especially since Mei herself is having a hard time trying to become more affectionate with Yuzu.

Mei annoys me so much, I skim through every time she is on the scene. If the series was only Yuzu and her interacting I wouldn't read Citrus at this point. I wonder if it's a common feeling among readers? Maybe Sabu will slowly switch focus...

I have the same issue with yagate and Yuu. I don't like her,never probably will.
So I stopped reading it
You should do the same with citrus if you don't like the main characters love interest

I thought this sequel series would fix Mei's robot syndrome, but i guess she still hasn't learned enough words to communicate properly with her freaking lover even though all the drama is finally resolved. I swear if this communication deficit becomes a source of another drama of 5 volumes again im gonna lose it. =)))

I actually liked Mei till chapter 36. I suffered but by the time she reappeared, my opinion had done a 180 and I felt the story was better off without her lmao

For me the Mei-less chapters were a torture and probably the less fun to work on them. To each their own

In my opinion, Yuzu and Harumin wouldn't be this likeable, if it weren't for Mei.

But how interesting would it be, if Citrus was an actual love triangle story between Mei x Yuzu x Harumin and Harumin was the protagonist?

Anyway, Yuzu and Harumin were not romantically link on Citrus but they're interactions were one of the best things in the manga and anime. they're just too entertaining to watch.

I believe this (rather smug) lady would disagree:

I Would Take A Bullet For You Saburouta

also does anyone know if seven seas is going to publish this spinoff too

I think they will publish the spin-off, but it might be awhile before it happens.
I mean there's only 2 chapter's at the moment.

Fuck more Drama

Was not aware this was going to be a thing. Am very happy for more Yuzu and Mei
