That's for sure, as pointed earlier. The whole thing is building towards something.

And well, I guess we mexicans just have a knack for the dramatic. Most of us thought of our first love as being THE definitve love for us, declarations like Sara's were par of the course during middle school.

Indeed.

Understatement right there.

Well, I'm Canadian and I fell so hard in what I was convinced was love when I was 13 that I mooned over the girl for a year and a half after being moved to a different school. So it's not just Mexicans, although I was unusually romantical-minded I think.
And it's not like I knew her well. I fell for a pretty face, a sweet smile, and a polite and demure manner. Mind you, a polite and demure manner was not so easily come by in school in the 70s. So I reckon I can feel for this kid; she's fooling herself but that's awfully easy to do at that age.

I'm happy Yuzu took a chance to confess, but I think she did it as such an inconvenient time (she was still getting the cold shoulder) that Mei just couldn't take it to heart like Yuzu expected. I think Mei is processing it like this: Yuzu rejects me > we don't talk for 2 (?) months > she says she loves me?! SHUT DOWN. DOES NOT COMPUTE.

It was also probably Mei's fault for that 2 month long bout of silence between the two of them as well. Not just Yuzu's. If anything, I'm thinking they did talk but none of their conversations were about what happened that night.

The one thing that we gotta remember as well is that Yuzu did not 'reject' Mei. If anything it was by her love that she refused to accept Mei's sexual advances, because Yuzu doesn't want Mei's body, she want Mei. She can't just accept Mei for her body because she knows she's worth more than that, and in the heat of the moment just had to stop herself from getting carried away.

That's what I meant; Mei is interpreting it that way, I believe. She thinks Yuzu rejected her "love", because Mei still thinks physical attraction = love, when in reality that's not true. So because of that, she shut Yuzu out and is acting like nothing happened. I'm pretty sure Yuzu WANTS to sit down and talk to her about it, and has attempted to do so in this chapter, but at this point we know it's not going to work, because it never has. She literally has to become aggressive in her actions to make Mei understand, just like Matsuri did to make Mei realize she felt something for Yuzu.

Remember a few chapters ago? Where Mei tells Yuzu, "I want you to need me" which makes her mad? I think that's why she's smiling when Sara says "of course!" to her question. Someone has finally told her they NEED her in their life, so that's probably why she accepted her confession and not Yuzu's. She thinks her father never needed her; her grandfather never needed her; and now she thinks Yuzu doesn't need her because of her "rejection."

Mei is actually pretty screwed up...

Well put.

Don't like this chapter T^T the drama is killin me!! lolz

She thinks Yuzu rejected her "love", because Mei still thinks physical attraction = love, when in reality that's not true.

^Agreed. Mei really needs to talk properly with Yuzu instead of being stubborn about listening on what Yuzu has to say.

Surprise!!! More drama. Yuzu move on, girl!!

Delighted to feast my eyes upon a new chapter as always! :D

My only major complaint is the undone art, which I feel breaks the flow and thus my immersion as well. Also, the pace feels a lot slower in this one. But, it could also be attributed to the lengthier down-time than usual between the previous chapter and this chapter.

On another note, I see a few people saying that Sara's confession sparks a realization within Mei, in regards to Yuzu's feelings for her. But I beg to differ. I think it causes her anguish. Like she feels that Yuzu doesn't return the kind of romantic love she is hoping for. She knows that Yuzu genuinely cares for her as a person (I hope! Or the mangaka needs a good shaking in terms of storyline consistency). Now, how about as someone more? To be fair, Yuzu has never been really clear in giving out the right sort of signals in that department.

I foresee more angst, not less, in the near future! But I will love it all the same. ^_^

I totally agree! I was put off by the incomplete art and wondered what was going on...

I hope the tankoban version is complete!

Best case scenario: Mei treats Sara the same way she has been treating Yuzu and Sara, either immediately or after a few "dates", confronts Mei about the fact that she is always wanting to be physical and asks her "if she really loves her" or "what love means to her" and Mei has a revelation about why Yuzu was acting the way she was.

I am curious to see what Nina's game is. I don't think she really wants Sara and Mei to be together... I don't know if her reference to what Mei really wants was to "being needed" or if it was a reference to her wanting Yuzu and she was suggesting that using her sister was a way to get that.

It would be interesting if, after eavesdropping on Mei and Yuzu and successfully undermining their relationship, she then goes to Yuzu with some sort of plan to win Mei back or make Mei jealous or something like that... I really don't trust the girl!

I wonder what Sara's reaction to both the fact that she just stole Yuzu's love and that her sister was entirely aware of the fact that she was setting her up to do so would be? I think Sara would be mortified to think that the friend who she commiserated with and made such a great connection with was hurt by her actions, even accidentally. To find out that her sister actually plotted to do it, fully aware of the fact that by getting Sara together with Mei it would break Yuzu's heart, she would probably be furious and totally feel like she was in the wrong...

That just seems to be the type of girl she is. I just don't see Sara finding out what happened and saying "Oh well! All's fair in love and war! She who hesitates is lost! I got her first and she is MINE now!"

At least I hope not!

What I really expect to happen is Sara and Yuzu to meet incidentally, either during the trip or after, possibly both missing the train again or something like that, and the two of them will get caught up on each others' love situations. Sara will tell Yuzu that she confessed and was accepted by her "fated person", never using Mei's name. Yuzu will tell her that she messed up and was lying to herself about her feelings and, when she had resolved to do the right thing and be fully honest with her love, she was told that she had accepted another person's confession and was dating someone else.

Sara will then ask her if she is just going to give up? Is your love weak enough that you will let a little setback like some random person confessing to your love get in the way? If you keep trying to communicate your true feelings to your love it is sure to work out in the end. Then when they get back together with everyone else, both of them will run to Mei and they will realize that they were talking about the same person all along!

We'll see if I'm right...

I honestly don't think I can make it anymore. I'm not strong enough for this series.

The credits killed me...in a good way.

Ughhh non-stop drama based on lack of communication
trust me I know somethings are really hard to say but damn it this is just too unrealistic
first negative comment ever to the series. Don't get me wrong.. still gonna wait for the next chap anyways. Mei x Yuzu is too perfect to not ship.

Well, I'm Canadian and I fell so hard in what I was convinced was love when I was 13 that I mooned over the girl for a year and a half after being moved to a different school. So it's not just Mexicans, although I was unusually romantical-minded I think.

Yeah. Important to remember they are still high schoolers, not adults. Remember myself when I thought I fell in love with someone my Freshman year in high school, when in hindsight it was just me making the mistake I tended to make a lot 5ish years ago of mistaking gratitude for responsibility.

Remember a few chapters ago? Where Mei tells Yuzu, "I want you to need me" which makes her mad? I think that's why she's smiling when Sara says "of course!" to her question. Someone has finally told her they NEED her in their life, so that's probably why she accepted her confession and not Yuzu's. She thinks her father never needed her; her grandfather never needed her; and now she thinks Yuzu doesn't need her because of her "rejection."

Assuming said acceptation is what actually happened, it does makes sense, and I agree. It will make me incredibly pissed off though because Sara's 'need' is shallow at best.

Mei is beyond broken because of, as I iterated (I think in another post), how she was only ever used in her life, especially recently as a sexual object. But the whole Matsuri arc's point was to help her start moving on past that by realizing Yuzu is right there with her as a person, holding her hand and trusting her and treating her as a human being; as well as recognize her own feelings for Yuzu.

But even if said acceptation does end up being true, if I take a few breaths, I can deal. Just so long as Nina x Sara and Mei x Yuzu is endgame. If not I'll have to hold desperately onto Harumin and Matsuri as consolation.

Yuri Project, Thanks for the work again!!!^^
Again, Mei is really difficult to understand knowing what Yuzu wants...Aargh! So humiliating!! Well, can't be help... T_T
Still, I'll be waiting for the next chapter:3

I hate this series so much. Just so fucking much. These characters are all just so fucking god damn stupid that I can't even. I might be done with this series now. This really might've been the last fucking straw for me. Its just that the message this series sends out to me is that ALL lesbians are fucking idiots and that upsets cuz I know its not true. Cuz I think most of us agree that this series has LONG SINCE past the line of emotionally complexity and whatnot. It's honestly insulting to call a series like this realistic. It really is. I think i'd be more accepting of this if there was a giant fucking dragon attacking the city because it'd at the very least imply a sense of surrealism to the plot in this series lol.

Hm? What's up with the sketchy pages near the beginning of the chapter? It really looks unfinished, did Saburouta run out of time when making this?

Eeeeeeeeeh, it feels like this is just a series of love triangles that act as some sort of obstacle to Yuzu and Mei's relationship (both in terms of family and romance). This whole thing just feels very sloppy and not all too great in terms of storytelling. It really is tiring for me personally but hey, at least the art looks nice.

I honestly think its even starting to lose its art appeal too lol. Did you see the first few pages? It was literally just the outlines and everybody was see through. Soon this series will literally have nothing going for it lol.

Citrus is a good example of how good looks can only get you so far. It's the inner appearance that matters and beauty also fades with age.

REALLY? REALLY???? I was coughing so much while reading those last pages, and wtf is this painful feeling in my chest :-( and why does yuzu have to go through all this :((((((((
Anyway this is a drama story so its no surprise to have a 3rd person involved in
But with my exp of reading drama mangas and be trolled by the author so many times. I just hope that Mei just try to test yuzu's reaction or sth like that :v ( just HOPE so)

I'm not gonna lie. I'm starting to hate this series now, there's a freakin whole lot of one shots that are far better than this. Ugh, I still love the art but I'm hating the story, a lot. With a passion.

There has been a TON of 3rd party in this drama that come and goes but I think I've had enough, I'll just read this thing when it's finish or I'll look for another series with a better plot.

Holy shit this has got to be the worst chapter that has come out. Seriously, i'm so disappointed with the art and "plot". LIke what the fuck is wrong with the author or team that made that shit? They need some fucking practice, need to take time reading real fucking yuri, or at least read these fucking comments to see what we yuri fans like. But no, it's like they give no fucks and don't even try. And after what seems like ages, they put out just GARBAGE. They need to stop this shit and take a new turn or they're just a disgrace from yuri genre. Goddamn how frustrating. All I want is some well written yuri. Is that so much to ask for? Jesus fucking Christ. Just dumb cause now I have to wait soo long for another chapter that may be worse or just little better. How can they do this to us? I'd donate money if that'd mean writers would start putting out better written shit. Fuck.

how about you take a deep fucking breath. you call this "shit"? you call this is "garbage"..insult the ARTIST and crew and saying that you know what yuri fans like.....come down to earth. you know shit about what yuri fans want. you arrogants ignorants fool.

the art is far from SUCK GARBAGE or what ever the fuck you call them
......page 4-6 and 7..got some issues with editoring..I assume. I dont think they will print it on the manga just like that.
If you are not a MANGAKA yourself....than you better keep yo voice down about the art.

for the storyline is a diffrent story. .............the problem about these two are communication...and thats complicated their relationship . it does exist..that someone living together...sleep in the same bed..but didnt talk to each other. ...sound unrealistic to you ? well..you will be surprised...stuff like this exist in real life.

some people wouldnt stand the silent treatment....some would start a conversation or burst out...

but if both are FUCKING CHICKEN like these two........with their feelings.....? what did you expected?

Both didnt want to start a fight..why? Because in the past chapter....both...expierience that when one of them didnt sleep next to each other...they are worried. Mei used to sleep at her grandpa place...and Yuzu couldnt stand it.

And there was a time that Yuzu didnt come home either......because they had a fight......that made Mei worried about Yuzu as well.

Both are afraid ..that the other would not be there. So they just...keep it silent...and play it down like nothing happened...but still can be near with each other at least.

And about you know ..what yuri fans want

well let me tell you.........I dont like lovely yuri with happy shitty fluffy stuff storyline. its nice but BORING the hell out of me(i remember an anime call Kiss kiss or some shit like that) they are fucking kiss each other ....in every episode. ..its yuri..its fluffy..its lovely---some sexy moment in class room.......but I couldnt stand 1 episode...-.- I end up not watching it..because its stupid.

sooo how can you know about what Yuri -fans want?

the fact that MANY of you guys said "it hurts" "uhg i cant take this anymore"..the fact that this manga break your fucking emotion..means...the plot ...kicking your ass ...you are move by it. ...emotional. ...so it cant be that bad.

And if you guys hating it sooooooooooo much....there is still the X-button . You read this shit for FREEE the Mangaka that you insult....got ZERO $$$ from you. Go draw your own fucking manga with the plot that you think is cool.

fucking pathatic ungrateful idoit

---

and what pissed me off here.

Many of you are not even trying to understand Mei charachters.
This Manga was showing mostly Yuzu perspective. Thats why you understand Yuzu feeling more. And feeling emotional with her. You feel connected to her...like you are Yuzu and getting cheated by Mei XD Thats why you are all furious.

ON the other Hand....Mei feelings and doubt are hidden by Autor. We figured it out little by litte along with Yuzu.
But if you put Mei backgrounds together......you will know why she is that way. (reserved)
Mei is dissapoint with her Dad for running away. He used to be her idol. She was looking up to him.
Now she met this girl..Yuzu who is pretty much carefree personality just like her FATHER now.(you will see that Mei father became Yuzu- carefree--doing what he likes in life. Happy ..travel around the world)

She fall in love with her(any idiots knows this by now)
but Mei perspective are..........Yuzu is totally confused about her feeling. She is between ..being a Sister or Lover?
But we cant be lover cause we are Sister ? Isnt this disgusting? She felt guilty as well ..she struggle with these type of feeling MANY FUCKING TIMES

example chapter -6 when Yuzu cried..because she couldnt kiss Mei . Mei does know that Yuzu was crying out of guilt about her feeling that are more than sister for Mei. Both cried at the end of the chapter. we saw Mei sitting on the ground crying. Yuzu does effect her.....a LOT.

its normal that Mei want Yuzu to be straight to the point what she wants...because to Mei perspective
Yuzu wants her and than something happen......she back off again. She wants Yuzu to be clear with her feeling. Either sister or lover. What you want. Mei clear about her fear during that chrismas time. She wanted Yuzu. She offer her body but got a huge rejection by Yuzu...and you can clearly see that she was hurt by that rejection.

wow... a guy who loves drama complains about drama

Eh just how much shit does Yuzu have to go through until she finally gets the girl? Aw man... I hope Mei doesn't try to fuck Sarah over figuratively and literally.
