Is pretty obvious she's interested on Sara

Oh I missed the twincest? Damn i'm getting old

i'm actually surprised no one has mentioned this earlier. yeah, the twins are rather creepy and the way Nina hawks over Sarah says, "i'll do anything to make my Sarah happy, so watch it you... or you'll be next." I really hope something like Nina inadvertently confessing to Sarah happens. it will be really funny to see how her little-big sister handles that.

Ohh...that could be a problem fixer! Nina and Sarah ..and Yuzu and Mei... to each her own, haha,now , I doubt that'll happen BUT it'd be nice. Yes,it would. I'd roll my eyes tho.

I believe a lot of readers are biased against the story because is rare to find so flawed characters on japanese media. Despite their age around a 90% of them acts wiser and more mature than their should be.
Really. Citrus was my gateway yuri manga and even I think the story was cliched from the beginning.
Mei - tsundere archetype, the stereotypical 'top' in yaoi.
Yuzu - tsundere at the beginning, later shifted a bit to moe bottom.
Drill girl - neglected childhood friend that supplies drama.
Yuzu's sister - wacky childhood friend that supplies drama.
Nina & Sara - magical westerners who supply drama (and have a japanese surname but whatever).
Plot developments - outlandish behaviour & sudden realization of one's sexuality -> drama in family that brings the two closer together -> obligatory hard work at school chapter -> obligatory festival chapter -> first childhood friend stirs things up -> more drama & misunderstandings -> second childhood friend etc. -> veeery poor communication results in stretching the story where it ought to end already -> out of nowhere characters are introduced to keep the pace up.

Also worth noticing that Mei isn't acting like an adult, she's acting like a kid would think an adult should act.
Asians have pretty short childhood, you know :)

e: Urgh, Nina x Sara. I can't unsee this.

Wow foresight event!!
or just re-use of character design :O ?

I don't know about Nina and Sara... if it ends up in double dates with the 2 sets of sisters I shall sigh and growl.

That would be really cool actually..if Nina was indeed that girl from the manga and not just a character the author used again. Like, Nina was starring at those mangas and that's why she and her sister are so open on the girl on girl relationship, lol.
I hope we don't get a real incest though. I mean Yuzu and Mei are not really sisters, but an actual incest would ruin it (at least for me)

I wonder, if this manga ever gets an anime adaptation, how long it would be. But I think one chapter is too short to be one episode...unless they add some extra stuff in them, like exploring the side characters more, or showing how the girls spend their free time outside school/ going out. It would be cool :D Oh well maaybe one day...

It'd be an awesome anime,but hmm what about it being made into OVAS? I think 3 OVAS would suffice, yeah actual incest it's not the best thing,but pseudoincest is ok xD

Hahaha Nina starring in mangas about sisterly love.

Supposedly there was a big Citrus announcement on this month's Yuri Hime. Anyone knows what happened with that?

OVAs or anime series for Citrus would be amazing!

The advertisement for Citrus leaves me wanting more! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHbgHyYiivc
Can hear their voices - so good.

I would prefer an anime series! OVAs have too long a wait time in between (I'm a little more impatient these days). Also in recent times, the length of an anime is a lot more flexible. Shorter half seasons can be used. At least, you get a dose every week, than an entire month of downtime.

Citrus is probably the anime most likely to get an anime but there are so many mangas that deserve so much more. Like Murcielago. Or The Real Her. Or Shinozaki-san.

It don't even need to be yuri, there is a lot of manga that deserve anime much more them Citrus, Kamisama no Iutoori is one that definitely should have anime, although they made a live action movie of the first serie.

Nah, it has to be yuri. Anime that aren't yuri are made like every day. If I had to pick between my favorite non yuri manga or Citrus to get an anime adaption, I'd pick Citrus any day of the week cause genre growth.

Yeah you're right, I was reading the new chapters of Kamisana no Iutoori Ni so I didn't remember the importance a new yuri anime would have, specially Citrus that is popular right now.

Oooh - I didn't know kamisama no iutoori had a live action! But i think i tolerate blood/gore/killing in anime form better than live action.

Well in that case, I'd love a series of Amano Shuninta's works made into short OVAS <3 , Shinozaki san, Murcielago or The real her would kick ass too. Hmm I'd like to see anime from yuri yuri,from Namori <3 but since it's so short..hmm what other yuri manga...Hana to hoshi.. GIRLFRIENDS OMG YES.
Ok won't happen D: but still.

Citrus would still be super cool to watch!

Well yes the time in between can be awfully slow.

I still do not understand how Girlfriends is not getting an anime after all this time but others are and it seems that Citrus could get one well before GF does. I just scratch my head at that considering GF seems to be the big one in the genre. Even Sasameki Koto got an anime as well and it would be nice to see it finished. Personally, there are other yuri series that should be animated before Citrus that are completed. If they animated Citrus before its finished would end up with copious amounts of crappy filler and I've had my share of anime deviating well away from the main story because they caught up to the manga which was still ongoing.

I don't even know how filler in something like Citrus would even work. It's definitely a scary thought.

Was thinking about including Sweet Guilty Love Bites in my list but I don't think Japan is ready for yuri sex that is not written for laughs or masturbation. I'd definitely love some Takemiya and Shuninta adaptions, though.

Cause it didn't sell well enough.

I honestly don't think Girl Friends would translate that well into anime. Take the kiss in Volume 2, for example. Morinaga used some awesome panels to convey the emotions but in anime that would lead to weird camera changes, not as weird but slow camera changes that drag the kiss out for to long or just a normal kiss without camera changes. The whole fashion aspect would probably be limited to still pictures.
I'd still watch it and enjoy the shit out of it though, obviously. The story is definitely worth telling in anime, even if the presenation falls short of the manga.

Sweet Guilty Love Bites <3 , yeah maybe Japan isn't ready,although Yurikuma Arashi may prove to be opening up that space... the anime that is,the manga is eh going in different directions. Takemiya!! Yes I love her/his ? work.

I risk to say that we endured two filler arcs in Citrus already..

EDIT: I screwed the formatting :)
