I always get annoyed when girls in a yuri story say say stuff like relationships between girls are impossible. I just think what rock have you been living under?
That's what I asked
I think it's supposed to be the story's way of acknowledging that there are people out there who don't approve of same-sex relationships. Citrus happens to be a bit more heavy-handed than average, at least among stories that don't demonize that type of character.
It isn't even the first time, either. I recall how Yuzu's two pre-Aihara Academy friends mocked a lesbian couple for kissing (partly for doing so in public), and how she got depressed over what she said, knowing that they wouldn't approve of her relationship with Mei.
As for the characters, I personally think the current situation is partly a consequence of introducing a new girl each arc in the original series. Not only did the cast end up growing beyond a manageable size, but I don't think the mangaka had much of a long-term vision for those characters, so some of them ended up merely taking space after they played their roles.
