It's been 10 months then...still, it's still not that long to confess your love to someone you know only for that short, especially for someone like Mei.
In my opinion, if they confessed earlier it would be just for fanservice.

Have you not gone to high school? It's not unusual for people to confess their love to people they barely actually know.

Unlike most people here, I don't mind the "forced" drama. I mean if they got together so easily/soon, then the manga would be ending, right?! (:

Sasameki koto, Stretch, Girlfriends, Candy boy and the first half of Aoi hana would like to have a word with citrus about how to do natural relationship growth and drama right.
This is just love triangle+love triangle+pointless back to square one stuff, the characters never grow from their experiences, this is why the ending of the sakura trick anime pissed me off because it basically just reset their relationship (granted it has got much better now but that was bad), character drama can work, love triangles can work, but only when the characters LEARN from what has happened and not just go onto the next triangle because then what was even the point of it?

"I...can't do it"
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU???!!!!

Well i think deep down we all knew that would happen.

Not the strongest argument, kids on high School (specially those with self worth issues) can also crush on someone for years.

I never said that wasn't impossible. I just said that it's not unusual for people in high school to fall for someone they barely are even familiar with.

Well, this definition of highschool love is more on an impulse and hormone thing, when they say it so easily. When you are really in love with someone, your fears and incecurities come on the surface, thus making much more difficult to say i love you. A lot of people actually avoid their crushes rather that talking to them and "communicating".
I'm not saying that there is not way that people can really be in love and say it without drama, but there are a lot of cases (if not the majority) that hesitate and are afraid.

"My little sister turned me on." Ooh baby. This is an amazing start, lol. The art is gorgeous as well, I like the thick lines and stuff.

I read somewhere the suggestion that the Teacher's kiss was forced, that makes a lot of sense for the logic behind Aihara's actions.

The writing for this one seems kind of crazy but I think it will at least definitely be very fun to read. I hope the characters can realize their feelings quickly so that we don't have to suffer through more forced het, though. Aside from that this is quite an impressive manga, I especially also like the unexpected friend character, "Harumin", lol.

==+ I totally agree been anxious since Ch. 12 tease at the end. The first chapter was a bit aggressive in the beginning but I was able to soak it up

Yes.

a loli rival!

You, guys are too excited for more closure. Just enjoy the roller coaster ride.

A roller coaster ride that never ends and spans over 15+ chapters isn't very pleasant.

I give this damn manga one more fucking arc for their love decagon bullshit

If some other chick pops up and causes another shit storm I'm seriously dropping this

After reading chapter 13 "Wait, what!!" =_=
I face palmed so hard at that ending, though I fucking knew that would happened after the girl told Yuzu 'We're allies', plus the introduction of new characters gave it away also. Dammit why more girls fall for Mei?! Mei you emotionless beauty, stop giving out your yuri vibes!!!

It's more that people are annoyed that every time there's any progress it seems to be reversed in short order.

Guys...what do you call a real progress? I'm confused, because people think this goes too slow, or there isn't any progress...What exactly would you like to see? Them making out and declaring their love maybe? When i see those comments, I can't help but think that people that write them are pretty young and inexperienced in love and how it works.
Imo, this is not what progress is. Considering their characters, this is a fast as it could go before it gets too rushed.
On the other hand, I have to agree that it's a bit unrealistic how girls fall in love with Mei just in an instant...
There could be drama, but yeah...maybe not people falling for the protegonists only. But I think it hasn't crossed the line regarding this...I get the feeling that people complain so much about it because they just want to see them having sex >< Pffft...honestly sex is not the ultimate prize someone can give you, and after a point it becomes boring, if it's just that. I'm glad this manga has real issues and it's not just a fanservisey yuri, like Sono Hanabira for example, lol.

^after taking a love lust and intimacy class I can agree to this. I want their relationship to develop from trial and error, I hate all the drama and how it is presented, but such is life. Also can 100% agree that most of these people just wanna see them have sex already. I was like that at the beginning.

However, the irrational side of me is screaming: not this crap again, can we please move the duck on! >.<

You're making it seem as if you're doing the mangaka a favour by reading her work. If you want to drop it, then drop it.

I think it's more that they want to like it but it's getting on their nerves too much.

We've seen this lately "Have you been in a relationship? Have you been in high school? Have you fall in love? Have you ever have a fight?" God, what kind of ultra lonely hikikomoris you guys take us for? What we meant by progress is like that chapter 8, a mutual kiss (IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE TO A BE A KISS! WORDS WORKS TOO!), a true expresion of their feelings in synchrony... From that, there could be a development but then BANG! triangle! and when that was settled, BANG! misunderstanding and baaaaack to point 0 and as if that was not enought another triangle... a square if we count the "imouto" too, and when all that could somehow be settle there's still the fact that they're supposed to be or act like sisters! add to the mixture 60 days for each chapter and then you have Citrus current state. Many of us thinks "If this didn't have the art it has it I wouldn't be here".

Say what you want or guess about our (readers) life, but there's something wrong going on here, that makes it hard to enjoy.

Edit: Alice said it just right!

But again, the characters aren't emotionally mature. You guys are asking for bad writing that ignores their characterization just to have cuddling. This was never a story of cute love is a story of two broken people overcomijg their issues together.

^ all of this
I understand people are frustrated with this manga, so am I, but there's nothing we can do about except wait, hope for the best, or drop it...or in some cases threaten to drop it and come back after each update and bitch how it's going nowhere. I am about inbetween of hoping for the best and annoyed to death.
It's actually kinda amusing how people want deep, emotional connection between two high school girls with deep, emotional issues...in 8 months span...(ignoring the time skip here because that's confusing and wouldn't answer enough questions). Every experience in love and romance is different, if anything this is on the far end of the extreme of romance manga (which doesn't give us happy rainbow vanilla ending in 6 chapters).
Not to mention that neither one of them CAN get on the same page with each other, because misunderstandings everywhere, so YEP! Hopping into bed with each other is a perfect way to speed this train wreck along. And you call Citrus's plot ridiculous...still wanna see them finally fuck out their pent up aggression with each other, but can wait until their maturity level gets past the teen angst stage.

First, i don't think anyone here was talking about someone specifically, so there is no need to feel frustrated...it's just an generall observation. On the other hand, i've been seen all of this "hate" Citrus has been receiving, and personally i felt the need to beg to differ, because i disagree with all this hate and i (still) like Citrus quite lot (it's my fav but can't let you know ;P). But, i will have to insist that maybe there are comlains because people want them to just f'...Ok...

I understand that there are people who like drama and angst, and there others who will get frustrated and won't be able to handle it. But drama is the point of this manga, and it's been 13 chapters already, so i don't think author plans on magically changing it 180. Reading something is optional, so if someone really dislikes it and can't handle it, author won't come to your house at night and punish them if they decide to drop it :P
(Plus there is hentai too)

I agree with you! This is not a cute love story, but an angsty and roller coster one. Well, that's why i like it. It's not just the art (which is great) but the extra depth of the characters too. I'm so bored of the classic yuri scenario where the protagonists always kiss or f' , calling each other 'cute' 'cute' and 'cute' again and again all the freaking time! Those scenarios feel so childish...

Funny part is: we can explain and point out all of this now, but once chapter 14 is here, the bashers will return with their same old...let's call them "arguments"... and nothing will have changed. Because hating on this manga has become a trend. And because people either are too naive or too impatient to understand that sometimes, for 2 lovers to finally get together, their love for one another just isn't enough. v.v

RARGH! LOVE TRIANGLE! CITRUS IS SHIT! NO PROGRESS! (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻ -post more insults here- RRAAAGGE! SABUROUTA! ლ(ಠ益ಠლ) I'M DROPPING THIS! -returns next chapter to post exactly the same stuff-

It is with this level of maturity this manga is being treated. Quite frankly, it is getting boring. But then again, I guess sites like Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr or the more obvious abominations like 4chan have taught us, that you should never expect too much from the Internet.

This is generalizing and exaggerating a little but you're mostly right. There are some people who aren't rabidly hating on the manga who do have legitimate criticism though. (In my case the time skip specifically just seemed completely unfitting. It just doesn't seem to me that Yuzu would actually be able to just ignore things like that for 1-2 months. Especially without some other incident happening due to that inability to just ignore things.)
