Citrus is completed. This is Citrus +, which depicts events before the ending of Citrus.

Of course that's technically true, but Citrus+ continues the themes the characters and themes of the original series; I still think of it as "Citrus" too.

Since Citrus was one of the most popular and talked-about yuri series ever, it is rather surprising to see this in effect abandoned by the author (although maybe only temporarily).

abandoned? A few chapters ago someone posted a comment on this forum that Yurihime magazine must not have been very happy. perhaps it is the magazine itself that has said enough . It's all quite strange because they haven't even closed volume 6 to put it on sale. It's sad to say but citrus+ is nowhere near as popular as the original series and more and more people have gone abandoning it little by little. We'll see what happens in the future.

Are these a lot of assumptions or are there facts out there that suggest it's not doing well?

As far as I can tell, all we definitely know for sure is that there have been long delays between the appearance of Citrus+ chapters and obvious quality-control issues in some of the chapters that have appeared (such as un-inked and partially toned pages and goofs like a glass of soda apparently growing out of a character’s head).

Readers’ first inclinations were to speculate about Saburouta’s health, then to infer from fragments of evidence a fading degree of authorial interest, and now a potential problem with sales/popularity.

I do think it’s safe to say that Citrus+ isn’t helping with magazine sales when it isn’t in the magazine.

Definitely. But, as far as I know, the reasons for the delays aren't known. I was wondering if the previous person was just spreading assumptions or had actual evidence of bad sales or waning interest being the culprit. I'm not really interested in rumors--unless new info comes out, I'm fine leaving it with an "idk" and waiting. Guess we'll see.

I made it clear in a comment above, the only thing that is known was Savoruota's tweet in January where she said that "this year I wanted to try new things" What was she referring to? no idea. I did not say May it be due to poor sales, just quote a comment from this forum where it was said that the yurihime magazine should not be very happy with the drop in quality and to that I add that it does not have either Being happy with announcing chapters that then don't come out and last year it happened several times. And finally, what I said about citrus+ losing followers is unfortunately because of what I see in Forums like this and in others, where I see less activity every day, and I'm not referring to now that there are no chapters, for a long time, which doesn't mean anything, it's just a personal feeling. Hello

it does not have either Being happy with announcing chapters that then don't come out and last year it happened several times.

I had forgotten about the announced chapters that didn’t appear. That’s an even worse sign than just magazine issues without chapters.

But that’s what this whole thread is about—we don’t know exactly what it’s a worse sign of.

Well you guys can stop with the doom posting, Volume 6 has been scheduled for release on Jun 25th

https://twitter.com/yuri_navi/status/1776886744253858120

Since only four chapters are not collected is safe to assume we'll see new chapters starting this month or the next to complete the volume before it releases.

Oh boy, a Citrus+ release announcement—what a relief! Good thing they never turn out to be wrong.

Thank you for the information, and I apologize but since there were no chapters since October and since Yurihime magazine and the author herself did not release information, I did not know what was happening. what has been said, my Apologies, and this means that this month or at most the following month we will have a chapter. Thank you

New chapter will come out in the upcoming May publication (July issue). You can check the info from the current June issue Yurihime back page, or simply directly head to yurihime's website under the next issue preview tab. Having 6 months of no new publication is still alarming while there is no official explanation from either the publisher or the mangaka. It will be very interesting to read Volume 6 though, because perhaps the mangaka needs lots of time to rework the chapters?

The back page for the June issue has the usual Q&A session with all the mangaka, this time is about asking them whom do they admire most. I think all the mangaka gave their answers including those who replied "nobody". Saburouta simply was not listed and hence was missing at the Q&A session. I find that extremely strange since everyone just submitted a one or two sentences answers. So Sabu did not even do that, very strange indeed for someone who work in Yurihime for over 10 years. Health reason? Burned out? Artistic clash with the new chief editor? Going back moonlighting shoujo manga? Who knows.

Who knows, I recently read a comment on Twitter, where they said that perhaps those 6 months of break were to reflect and shore up all the fringes of history as a sign of entry into the arch. Final. It is very common among mangakas that when they are going to enter their final arc, they leave themselves a few months off beforehand to reflect, but everything is speculation, because neither sabu says anything, nor the Yurihime magazine neither .what you say about the question and answer session in the yurihime magazine perhaps I indicated other things. The truth is that it is certainly strange. the future will say

Guys, I understand being worried about the series' future and the reasons for the sudden hiatus but it does no good to listen and then spread completely unfounded rumors that randos pull out of their collective asses, that will only harm the fandom and will easily snowball into something ugly.

Let's simply wait for either Sabu or YH to make an official statement about the future of the series.

Make no mistake What is really hurting the fandom is the lack of official information and that's why there are speculations . I don't think that neither yurihime nor flavoruota magazine have the most Minimal complaint of citrus fandom, it is one of the least toxic and most patient fandoms in this entire manga world, it only asks for a little reciprocity. That being said we have a chapter next month And to enjoy. Greetings

Re-reading the last few chapters. I notice Yuzu is wearing her ring out in the open, including at school, I thought that is a no no, and they agree not to wear it at school? Did Sabu forget?

“Did the author forget?” is the perennial question about such details in this series.

Time for a reread!

We are so back

WELCOME BACK!

OK. Read it finally. Not putting spoilers, but I do want to know what happened at the very end when Mei acknowledged Yuzu's question concerning the document on Mei's desk. So the question is:

Is Akamine Academy available for acquisition (買収) to anyone or just an exclusive submission for sale to Aihara only? I have a feeling Arata does not even know how bad his school's situation is. On the other hand, I wonder how much dirt Yuzu managed to dig up from Arata.

This is going to be a long arc I think.

without any spoiler. This chapter 35 should have been chapter 32, with that I say it all. My interest is getting lower every day, let's hope the story picks up a little more pace

Regarding my question, Scanlation seems to indicate that the document Looks like an offer of acquisition from Akamine to Aihara.
Now we have to wait to at least July to find out what is the new development.
