Maybe I'm just being a bit too optimistic but I'd rather give the manga a chance and stick it out to the end before passing judgment on it, even if the chapter to chapter developments can frustrate me at times.

Unfortunately a lack of communication is far too common irl too.

That's true, but not to this extent. Like another poster before me said, they've been sleeping in the same bed alongside each other for about a month (I think?) and they've not even discussed what their actions mean? Usually, in real life, people would snap and get frustrated and shout their real feelings or vent their frustrations, so at least there's some indication of intent or roughly where their head is at.

The characters mostly seem very... passive, just sitting around waiting for the plot to happen to them, rather than doing anything themselves. They have no agency or desires, and they react to things in a very superficial and shallow way.

Nahh...it is very possible for people to stay quiet about those things. Theoritically it seems unreal, but when you put two people who crushing on each other in action, things like that and sometimes even worse happen. In reality, it's much easier(for some) to be with someone they are not in love with. Also maybe both were more scared to talk rather than maturely seating and discussing. It's always easier said than done, and maybe they both feel guilty, or don't want to screw it up more.
The bed thing, i kinda agree is strange they didn't talk while sleeping together lol. But maybe Mei was avoiding Yuzu all day and then just sleeping on her side. Or they didn't change beds so yuzu's mom didn't suspect anything...

What i would really like to see next, is roles being reversed. Mei actually trying to fix the things. What kinda put me off, was that Yuzu was always 'running' behind Mei. Like what Mei wants right now, how can i help her etc etc... I mean com on...noone is worth your dignity. Citrus hasn't cross that line (yet?) and it would be awesome to finally see Mei chasing yuzu. In a relationship things must be equal, not always one doing all the work...
It would actually be badass if Yuzu after this says, yo i'm done here,u can go and date your new gf. But i think author likes to make yuzu guilty and responsible for them both.
After some time Mei dating Sara, she then snaps and realises how she can't function with no one else than Yuzu and we get to see her vulneble side. I think that's maybe mangas weakness...it's kinda one sided, not just from screen time, but character wise.

In japan its 100% possible for sleeping next to each other and not talking to each other. I ve read an article about a foreign guy who decide to leave USA and move to japan.....to become an animator.

He got his jobs after 4 years..finally. Its working in anime studio pierrot(produce an anime such as Naruto, Tokyo Ghoul--one of the best)...they work 10 hours...but never talk to each other. They work in silent. everyone is on their desk and draws.

so stuff like this...is common sense in japan society. You read a japanese manga...its normal that the story is base on their life style.

for example ..such as "student council" things seems to be an important in japan highschool----if you read school girl manga.......there is always student council president. (not that strict like it portrays in manga-) but still respect title.

you cannot ..compare your western lifestyle with japanese manga. ..saying..that would never happened. well not in your country.

despite all the hentei.......and porn.......being so exposed to the world.......in japan normal life.........people are sooooooooo anti-social with one another . thats why many people in japan kill themself. .because of the stress they are facing.

thats why there is a cuddle house(peole can go there just to cuddle- no sex) its weird to us......but they are willing to pay 40$ ..just to cuddle with mates.

yeah....really...go type in youtube about cuddle thing in japan XD i could be wrong about the price...between 30-40$ per hour..just to cuddle. ....single men going there.......who only works and no social connection in real life.

they also pay for petting animals(since there is no space in tokyo to have a dog or cat). there is also host bar(like you see in anime) handsome men ...dress in suits....and serve for the ladies(normally middle ages woman- very RICH)...spend their times at host bar..cause their husband wont please them. ..and here is no sex involvet. Japanese men works all the time...and they are not romantic towards their wifes. Its always the other way around. The woman need to do everything for the men(cooking, cleaning the house etc).

there is a lot of pressure in asia. you cant talk back to your boss...or disrespect your senpei...unless you want to lose your job XD

so the japanese always come up with new ideas..to release stress...they only have 15 days free(for a whole year.)

and thats why ---Love dolls- exist xD

Is it me or is the series just going around in circles like a 'merry go round' or rather 'angsty go round'?

It's bad enough having to wait 2 months for a release and it's worse when after the wait there's still no development!

I'm near to giving up on this manga :(

^ my theory is, that Saburuta is either a genius or just puts some ideas together just to shock people and make manga longer or more interesting (thus the problem with character consistency)
I think next 2 chapters will be very important as they will reveal the purpose behind those characters. Is author putting them there just to fill the story, or there is a purpose behind it?
Sure, it can be that Sara helps them get closer...but I don't want to see a shallow getting close thing, like the one that happened with Matsuri.
Mei admited her feelings for Yuzu, but there was no lesson learned, and then she went back to her usual self.
Unfortunately it has gotten to a point where Mei's character is starting to becoming annoying rather than mysterious, and yuzuxmei ship kinda feels uncomfortable. Looks is not the only thing that can keep the ship sailing. Sometimes it makes me wonder what Yuzu likes so much about Mei. I hope it doesn't come to a point where the main couple is not likeable anymore or worth rooting for.

I really want to see Mei showing feelings and realising how much she needs Yuzu, through Sara. Not just the predictable posibility that Sara will make them start talking again and then Mei back at being cold lol.

Mei admited her feelings for Yuzu, but there was no lesson learned, and then she went back to her usual self.

she went back to her usual self because Yuzu rejected her when she open up about her feeling towards Yuzu.
when she did that move..Mei was obviously shock/hurt by it....and recovered it quickly by putting her cold masked on.
For Mei its ...the end......she think that yuzu .its not sure about her feeling(I assume that she think ...yuzu doesnt love her strong enought to go all out for her.)

Mei has a huge fear ..to lose someone(Her father and her grandfather...and i guess she lost her mother too) ...I mean if you read the story again....and try to understand her...you will see a sensetive girl trying to acted strong.

she HATES if things not under her control .....always follow the rules.......and yuzu is the definition of unpredictable to her....always doing stuff that she didnt expected.

and if you read chapter 14 again.......yuzu was not honest with her feelings towards mei. so i dont know why you are all ganging up on mei lmaooooooooooo there is a reason for her to be that way.

she even gave yuzu a chance to explain herself..and she FAILED it AGAIN.....by talking around the bush

I hope it doesn't come to a point where the main couple is not likeable anymore or worth rooting for.

will never happened the more people hates mei ...the more i defend her xD

There being a reason for her to act like a spoiled jerk doesn't make her act like a spoiled jerk any less.

For Mei its ...the end......she think that yuzu .its not sure about her feeling(I assume that she think ...yuzu doesnt love her strong enought to go all out for her.)

After we followed Yuzu for like 13 chapters going all out for Mei, that's still really stupid. It's not like Mei wasn't there. It's not like she didn't notice. And what's not to be sure about after Yuzu pushed her down and actually told Mei that she can't keep her shit together because Mei kissed her? No matter how you twist it, crying and saying "I'm sorry I'm such a bad sister" after kissing her doesn't leave much space for missunderstandings.

she even gave yuzu a chance to explain herself..

Well, isn't she being nice?

First if you said you know yuzu that well because you follow her 14 chapter along than you should have know that Yuzu was struggle with her feeling during the entire series. The picture became clear for her during the chapter 14 that she deosnt want to be a sister but a lover.
During that process she was testing Mei out. Wasnt honest with herself. Outsider like Mei can be irritated by that easily but not us as a reader since we know her inner though.

During visit yuzu dad arc..yuzu decide to be a sister for mei. Keep that in mind till chapter 14.

Now turn table to Mei POV
You said Mei knows about Yuzu feeling during that scene in chairman rooms right? No she did not. Mei doesnt know what love is. She grew up lonely. Her dad left her with a grandpa who doesnt give a fuck about showing parenting love. He just throwing money around Mei thats it.

Mei know shit about love when yuzu pushed her down and kissed her. She was surprised by yuzu tears. In slowy process yuzu made her feel weird. She slowly fall for yuzu charm like she never felt for someone before.(during grandpa arc and her father arc)

Than during Matsuri arc she finally realize that her feeling for yuzu is more than just sister love...she felt jaelousy. After solving problem with Matsuri. She goes to the next step and open up for yuzu.

She does know that yuzu desire her....(BODY)
And let me tell you this why I wrote that way.

MEI GOT sexuell harrassed BY 3 person
1.the teacher
2.her childhood friend vice president
3.and yuzu

all three wanted to get in Mei pants.

and here comes the key words...."do you need me" she keep asking this.

Does Mei knows about the diffrent betweent poor lust no love and sexuell desire that comes with love?

For me...Mei doesnt know the diffrent yet....so she asking sara about "do you need me?".
if someone needed her...it means that person would not leave her side. Like her grandpa needed her to take over the school.

yuzu doesnt show "i want you i need you" yet infront of Mei(maybe next ch). She always talking it down on sister basis.

And Mei return her defensive wall back on again.

If we dont have Mei POV than I am not gonna blame her for her action. In my views...I understand why she acted like that. And nope not spoiled brat at all. She has a huge fucking castle to live but choose to live with yuzu moms house instead.No servant No bodyguards.

She even sleeping on the floor instead of her own huge bed. It shows that she wanted a family. She doesnt want to live alone in that large house. She is down to earth than you think she is.

Right because Mei never sexually harassed Yuzu at all. Sure sure she never started any of the problems. Nope, totally innocent of sexual harassment. You're completely ignoring all of those other moments where she crawled all over Yuzu but Yuzu is in the wrong because she didn't once but managed to stop herself? Common now... O_o

all three wanted to get in Mei pants.

First off, Yuzu has been very resistant and resilient during moments where she definitely could have gone further with Mei when Mei made those advances on her. If Yuzu really wanted to get into Mei's pants, she would have been there already however, she knew it was wrong not on the sisterly level but, definitely on another level which she only figured out later and confused her even more because it meant she'd have to set aside her romantic feelings to provide emotional support.
Which leads too... V

yuzu doesnt show "i want you i need you" yet infront of Mei(maybe next ch). She always talking it down on sister basis.

Yuzu doesn't need Mei, Mei needs Yuzu. Others have already stated in various ways that Mei is broken on multiple levels and her only known way of showing affection is through physical action. If Mei doesn't realize that she needs Yuzu and not the other way around, then their relationship will have stalled or regressed.
