ITS BAAAAAAACK WOOOOOOOO

Yuzu crush on Amamiya did not even last a day. Meanwhile she is lusting after Mei, and even Mei knew it too and did a counter move.

It’s been so long since I have seen these two girls lol I was like who are these people??? Had to reread some chapters

I often question why, as a fan of this series, I keep coming back to the cesspool that is this comment section…

No, you, like the rest of Citrus readership assembled, were obsessed with the question, “Hey, those two characters way off to the side in the big wedding panel—that’s those two former friends of Yuzu’s who said homophobic things, but now they’re at the wedding! How can this possibly be? A mark of a truly world-class writer would be if Saburouta would go back and spend a bunch of chapters explaining how these characters whose names we can’t remember and who we in fact had forgotten even existed went from being homophobes to attending Yuzu’s wedding.”

You, like many of us, just didn’t realize it.

The Art Book is awesome. It basically enlarges certain important scenes, and because of that, things that are sub tle or seemed like not important, now shows up the details.
Yuzu would buy a manga and then sneak it all the way back home and put it in what she thinks is a secure place which Mei cannot find, Mei? Simply read it in the library back and forth and never takes it home.

Example 1. Yuzu has a meltdown due to Kana and Manami's homophobia. She decided to hide in the library. Walking past Mei, Mei told her to stop. What Mei pulls out from the shelf was the book, "The introduction to the psychology of Love"
Example 2. Then about one year has past and it is Citrus Plus. Mei is in the book shelves area and caught Harumin. Mei already pulled out and holding a science book. But she was also in the process of pulling out....yup, "The introduction to the psychology of Love".
Those are small incidents and most of us would not care. BUT the two incidents are almost the same, hence I think that Mei read that book bit by bit. So in a way, Mei is actually very serious about being with Yuzu. If Yuzu lives by that dating book she made, then Mei must be secretly reading the psychology book.
All of these would be unable for us to notice, until, in this case, a blow up panel so you can read everything no matter how minute it is.

This girl shows all the artbook. First are all the color pages from the manga, the promo art Sabu drew for the anime, the preorder/store goodies for the volume releases of both the anime and the manga, and all the pics Sabu has posted on Twitter. And finally, Sabu's comments for each piece. Pretty good for any fan of the series. The most notable thing is getting to see the full art of the volume covers, those are spicer than I thought

To commemorate the anime's 5th anniversary a special exhibition with original material from the anime plus new art drawn by Sabu will be held in January. The most interesting part is that there will be new recorded audio from the seiyuus. Very unusual

Middle panel looks like Harumin causing a couple boys to enter puberty.

Probably Matsuri’s little brother and friend.

Pleaseeee I hope this means a Harumin focused chapter and more specifically a HaruMatsu focused chapter....I'm just reading for them nowadays. It's been a good while since their kiss D;

Most likely yes it is.

Fine, I am FIRST.

Not going to talk about the plot, of course, for the next few days. There is no secret that this issue is a double features. The chapters serve as a closing of an arc and most likely a prelude of a new one. I did guess correctly about which character serves as the bridge. It is really logical.

But can anyone explain to me what does it mean when an entire chapter (in this case, the second of the double chapters) is published in a story board format as if the mangaka is too lazy or too pressed for time that the result looks unfinished? Maybe I have not read enough manga, but this type "story board only" of chapter I know does exist, but it is very rare. Does Sabu intentionally do that for a reason? Any examples?

She most likely didn't have the time to finish it. It happened once on the original citrus, during the school trip arc that introduced Sarah and Nina, it got fixed for the volume and also replaced here.

It also happened at the beginning of the arranged marriage arc too in the original series & that too got fixed & replaced on here as well. So when volume 5+ comes out next month those fixed images will replace the unfinished one's here too.

Beyond beautiful!!!

Yep, that's the plan.

Without saying anything about the plot, this arc is finally over. I hope I don't go back to kana and manami, what boring characters. I hope for an arc on harumin in the future, where we will also see matsuri. greeting

Harumin walking around town looking this hot is nothing short of a security hazard for the entire population O_o Also, she and Kana have a nice dynamic together, you can tell they could probably become good friends pretty quickly.

I am only reading this for Harumi and Matsuri. Don't care about the rest.

So the question that I asked [checks notes] one year and one day ago:

Will Harumin ever find a life goal?

Apparently has been answered.

We just don’t know what the answer is.

I know the story required Yuzu+Mei, but Harumin is so much more desireable.
