The love sickness factory looks so cute!

Ah, I love me some dense, useless Mei~

I'm thoroughly enjoying Citrus+ so far. I find it less ridiculously frustrating than the original series. I'm glad I didn't give up on it.

If they don’t have sex on Yuzu’s bday then they will Never have sex.

Mei looks in permanent shell shock.

Citrus, indeed.

But it looks like even a great artist like Saburouta still needs to learn how reflections work... :P

That was adorable, yes. ^_^

Honestly, while Citrus overall goes "not good not bad" for me, I quite liked this chapter.

The Mei-bot’s AI threw an “emotional response” error after blowing off Yuzu’s birthday, and the resulting diagnostic consumed so much memory that she glitched trying to eat human food.

Man... it just came to me that Himeko at one point had feeling for Mei (or possibly still does) yet despite that not working out she helps Mei with her love problems, Himeko’s a great friend, I hope she finds happiness in some form once the series ends

I like how this chapter directly addresses some points from the debate higher up this page about Mei's emotions, such as adding subtle blushing in some spots.

It's almost like the author read these comments before writing this chapter.

This is the cutest Mei has been in a long time, especially when she malfunctioned trying to eat cake, thought “love sickness” was a real sickness and cuddled Himeko’s puppy.

Speaking of, best girl Himeko coming in clutch with romance advice. I love how she called her Mei-Mei throughout this chapter, after Mei gave her the green light to keep doing so in her last appearance.

I knew Mei wouldn’t disappoint :D

I love it when Mei is like this. It gives us more depth of her character

Himeko is a good friend

A bit slow of updating, I almost forget every time I need to check for new chapter. But I understand how limited and not easy for translating every page scenes.

i really do enjoy seeing mei talking about her feelings and idk how people call her a “robot” lmaoo

Because she was so unaware of normal human behavior that she didn’t realize that Yuzu would be unhappy about having her birthday postponed.

Until later, when she had more processing resources available and was able to access her “emotional response” subroutine.

Mei’s had a lot on her plate lately. Fussing over her lost ring put her behind on student council work, and now stressing over that made her in that moment unaware of Yuzu’s feelings. She herself acknowledged that without Himeko’s help.

I love how the readings of Mei’s character from the way she was at the beginning of the original series to the present amount to, “Falling in love has caused Mei Aihara to suffer severe brain damage.”

Anyone: says anything remotely positive about the series

Blastaar: "I'm about to end this man's whole career."

This, of course, is a lie. It is true that I do regularly mock people who see Mei's character as being consistent and well-developed, however.

There have been many positive things about this series (that's why I have read and keep reading it)--some well-developed scenes, some initial sexual chemistry between the leads, some effective art, even some interestingly conceived characters.

Competent long-term execution of the narrative, consistent characterization, or thematic focus--not so much.

So you mock people who are correct? Why?

You may read my previous arguments in the thread about why I disagree with those people who think that the forceful, competent, indeed volatile character we first met in the original series is consistent with the current withdrawn, passive, trembly character who communicates best through her toy bearsy-wearzy.

Character development? What the heck is that?

Also maybe just, y’know, don’t mock people for having an opinion? You can disagree and argue differently, sure, but don’t belittle those who disagree with you

I never went into Bloom Into You forums and made fun of people for liking Yuu even though I don’t

Thank you for your moralizing lecture along with your testimony to your righteous bona fides

You're quite right--opinions can differ: a character having an epiphany in the form of a sudden post-facto realization that her teenage stepsister-lover just might be disappointed that her birthday celebration is being postponed may strike some readers as the height of a newly-developed emotional sensitivity, while others, like me, could regard it as something a normal person might already know by, like, being alive in the world.

I'll bear that in mind.
