Yay! Another Yuzu jealous arc…… we haven’t seen that in a while. TBH would have preferred not seeing it at all.

Though Arata’s comfortable around Yuzu, I hope it turns around to him liking Yuzu and Mei for once even just being a little jealous. He seems like a good guy so he doesn’t seem like he’d flip out after being rejected and still want to continue their joint venture…….

Hope it doesn’t turn out too predictable.

Or since Yuzu’s sick maybe Mei will ditch her meeting with Arata and show Yuzu she’s her priority. That’ll probably quell the jealousy monster no?

I just read conradin and Dark_Tzitzimine and while I agree on some things, I disagree on others. You practically talk about yuzu and MEI's relationship as if it were a relationship of convenience, a boss/secretary working relationship, but where's the romance in that? In real life (I guess not in Japan) such a relationship is doomed to fail. How many times do we have to say that we don't care if there is sex or not, but what we can't insinuate is that sex is superfluous in a romantic relationship. Where are those chapters of Citrus+ where we see Yuzu and MEI living together as a couple? Going to the beach together, going to dinner as a couple, going on a trip as a couple, a stolen kiss here, a hug there, jesus a little physical contact, and yes of course there is, but all very little Natural (when they went to the movies was at the initiative of matsuri, when yuzu gave MEI a hickey was for matsuri's magazine, even when they celebrated yuzu's birthday, it seemed more like a couple who had been married for 30 years, than a couple of teenagers.I think yuzu and harumin have had more interactions as if they were a couple (and they are not girlfriends) than yuzu and MEI (jesus if yuzu has touched harumin's boobs more than his own girlfriend's). in conclusion, I liked this chapter, and what I hope for the future, is a real adult conversation between yuzu and MEI about their relationship and from there to see them act like a couple in love, I'm not interested in the academy right now and I'm not interested in yuzu becoming a teacher.
Pt there are two things I didn't like about this chapter, one nene, I know it's a meme, but I think it was out of place in this chapter and another harumin (and I love her) apart from "mistreating" matsuri for whatever, will she ever speak her mind on any topic? That's why I really liked matsuri in this chapter because she finally stood up to harumin "when it comes down to it, coddling her so much won't help her" dagger straight WoW. what will yuzu do when real trouble comes in their relationship? Run crying into harumin's arms like a little girl or face her problems? I hope this message doesn't get distorted in the next chapters, I want to see a yuzu who works for herself, who becomes strong, confident, and not dependent on MEI. First oneself and then the partner, otherwise the message will be very bad.

Since some chapters ago, i feel that this story got stuck and it can't no longer move forward. Is really annoying to see Yuzu, after everything that she's been trought, gets tangled by Matsuri's bullshits. We have (not counting extras) more than 40 chapters in Citrus+ and 40 more in Citrus, more than 80 chapters and Yuzu continues to act exactly the same as in volume 2 or 3. We'll never gonna see some character development on her? She's gonna kepp tripping on her unwarranted insecurities over and over again?

I have a prediction: The boy is indeed in love with Mei, so a drama will ensue in which he asks Yuzu to help him with her. Yuzu will not know what to do and will come to the stupid conclusion that maybe it is better for Mei to be with a boy to finally regret it. A drama will ensue in which Yuzu has to arrive in time to prevent the guy from confessing. If the story is too bogged down as I fear, Mei is going to agree to date him (as happened with the white-haired siscon) the author will probably use some cheap argument like Mei needs him for her plan with both schools. They will swallow like 3 or 4 episodes of repeat drama and it will end with Yuzu confessing (for the fourth time, if I didn't lose count) her love for Mei and back were we start.

woa, a long chapter with a detail background for a long time

Once again I feel as if I'm reading an entirely different series than most posters here.

Mei's actions on citrus+ always have Yuzu as a priority, either by way of working towards a future that allows them to be together on their own terms or by looking for ways to show her affection. She is also more open about what is going on unless there are external factors keeping her from telling everything to Yuzu, like the exact details of the agreement she's looking to close with Arata's Family.

Besides the memes, I still can't understand why a lot of people are so invested in seeing Yuzu and Mei fuck. Mei's actions at the start of the story have been acknowledged as being wrong and Yuzu has gone multiple times about how she wants their first time to be special and happen at a point where both of them want them, but with all the emotional baggage Mei is just working out, that will take a while. Having them fuck right now would be awfully out of character for them.

That said, is interesting to see Yuzu feeling threatened like this, it hadn't happened since Sarah but this time there's the added pressure that Arata is a guy and thus, is more socially acceptable for Mei to be with him. Between this, Sayaka and Yuzu's friends, it seems that Sabu wants to treat the LGBT angle of the story more seriously.

And I love how Matsuri and Harumin seem to be together all the time now and Harumin has (reluctantly) taken over as Matsuri's guardian and slapping sense on her when needed.

Glad to see there are some people that understands.

Once again I feel as if I'm reading an entirely different series than most posters here.

I also feel like you are. You're definitely reading a different comment section, at the very least. People aren't hugely invested in them fucking as you and Matsuri so indelicately put it just to be inflammatory. It's way more nuanced than that.

i guess, the real question some of us here have is, ”where the hell is the romance in this romance manga”?

My last comment on this chapter. the least important thing is if for the future yuzu and mei have sex, the insecurities in their relationship go deeper than that. many people have Staying with the matsuri meme of "you need sex" when matsuri's important message is: when real problems come, how will you solve them, if for anything, no matter how small, you You start crying This chapter is about the insecurities of yuzu, which by the way we have seen since citrus started. And what I want to see in the future is Yuzu strong, sure of herself, That he work, and that if he has any doubts or insecurity that he talks about it with MEI in an adult way, and incidentally that we go from a "work" relationship, or emotional dependency to a relationship of Equal to equal, where we finally see the two in a true romantic relationship, because otherwise if all this is resolved with a simple "I MEI include you in my plans for the future, Only, the final message would be disastrous in my opinion. Greetings

If this ends in anything else but Mei going "yes!" and grabbing Yuzu, with them having some wild hanky-panky right then and there, I will be mightily disappointed.

Yes, after all this I do finally want them to fuck. Sue me!

You shall hear from my lawyer very soon.

you Jack Manifold looking-ass , get out of here

but objectively I can see that stuff have cranked up a notch in terms of stakes

Hope to see more of MatsuriXHarumin in the new series,they're so cute,please more moments with them,they're beautiful couple

We need more sexy scenes

author-san,can you please let these girls further their relationship naturally for once?

after all,no matter how much sex these two might have at this point in the story,it wont make their relationship any less vague nor any more defined than it is now,without having them hold a proper conversation to better clarify their honest desires and genuine concerns to each other,allowing for them to truly get a better grasp of the nature of their relationship.

I AGREE

If you discount your desire to have a sex scene; Yuzu and Mei actuing about tinally are way ahead of what most of us thought in terms of the relationship. They act as a stable married couple and help each other out if needed. But obviously it also means the daily lives for them can be boring looking from the outside. Mei is the stereotypical workaholic husband while Yuzu is a part time housewife. It actually is fun to read it once you have that in mind because a couple like that also do things like thinking about the same thing. Another way is Yuzu can read Mei just by body movement, So when Yuzu protest, it looks fun as opposed to looking bad. Yuzu knows the answer is no already, but asked anyway. That is a fun thing to do for a married couple or long term partner. Mei also do things that usually a married person would do. For example, trying to buy a birthday gift after consulting Himeko and then assisted by Matsuri. Purchased the gift in the middle of the night, that is dedication indeed. It is quite obvious that she has never attended a birthday party, as celebrants, birthday girl, or guest, it show how far she is from normal societal customs, when the idea of birthday gift does not seem to exist for her social class.
The new boy is going to be a great fun character that the series is sorely needed. Whether he has a crush on yuzu, or he being gay, either way it will be fine and funny. I mean, he hang out with Himeko....a boy following a lolita?

But we’re not “looking at their relationship from the outside.” Mei & Yuzu only exist on the pages where we see them. There’s no separate dimension where they’re cuddling up together or holding hands while flirting and giggling. They don’t have deep talks off panel about where they are in their lives and what they want to do in the future. The text we have is all there is.

And for the last time—some readers obviously do want a sex scene, but what I and many others want more than that is to see personal intimacy between the two of them, rather than to witness the embodiment of “lesbian bed death” before either of them even utter the word “lesbian.”

True, even though they DO cuddling in bed. Some may consider their cuddling not up to sex standard, some consider that is enough sex.

I thought it was super strange how the birthday of Yuzu was based around the schedule of Mei, and even then, she did not even get a full day or any sort of affection or romance. The gift was also kind of meh. My girlfriend would have broken up with me if I had put inn as little effort at Mei did.

I like the story, but their relationship is being carried by Yuzu and Mei need to put more effort into the relationship.

Good lord, of course we do see them together in bed—the point is that there’s not some other off-panel pocket universe where they’re having unseen tickle fights or spooning on the couch while watching TV. (Is there even a TV in the house?)

And what the hell does cuddling have to do with some “sex standard”?

^
Some people consider cuddling sex. Especially doing it nakid.

ok, I will just write a few things. This new chapter is awesome.

Yuzu finally sexual assaulted Mei, something that she has not done for a long time, and this is a big one as she clearly lost all control. I am really happy seeing that scene. I don't need to see a sex scene, the assault scenes are good enough for me to understand what Yuzu is thinking. Its is not just the assault, but rather the type of assault which sees Yuzu forced it to a confused Mei and prevent Mei from moving and get away.

Somehow she thinks that Mei and Arita are now partners and the jealousy went up the roof.

Mei finally calmed Yuzu by doing a slight slap on her to slap her out of it. She told Yuzu that Yuzu needs to trust her because she is Yuzu's FIANCEE.

Yes, the very first time anybody including them using that word to the two of them. the word "fiancee" made my day. Also, she was not angry at Yuzu. Meis personality definitely is changing bit by bit "better". When asked, Yuzu sometimes will say she is dating Mei. Meanwhile, Mei will not tell anyone about her relationship except a few such as Himeko.

Also remember, when Mei came home from Udogawa, one of the things Yuzu said was "your future is part of my future" (and hence she wanted to restrain herself.)

They are pretty much evolved into an adult couple at this stage. I don't think Yuzu will ever throw a jealousy tantrum or attack anymore, and may even be pals with Arita. What Mei said helped her to regain the strength. Yuzu now can 100% trust Mei again. Remember the abandonment of Yuzu by Mei in the fair? Yuzu refused to stay by herself as if anyplace Mei goes, she will follow. We tend to forget her issues during this manga because they are very subtle.

Conradin , are we talking about this month's chapter of citrus+ or another manga? because if it's the citrus+ one I think we've read a different chapter, but I won't say anything until it comes out here. greetings

The Mei-bot managed to get her basic communication program running for once. Sadly, she didnt have enough ram to have it work at full capacity. Since physical contact is apparently forbidden in Citrus+, she couldnt convey her feelings more clearly in any non verbal way either and Yuzu didnt get the message at all in the end. So business as usual, basically.

So well, I stopped reading at chapter 10 or so, but I remember at chapter 3 there was a hint that Harumin might have feelings for Yuzu, or at least that's what Matsuri thought? But then a ton of chapters about Mei's birthday came and nothing was ever brought up again by Saburo uta like they completely forgot about it. So has there been any other development regarding that matter? I don't mind being spoiled, in fact that's exactly what I want so any kind soul mind helping me out?
