I believe the Takenoko Fortune thing is a reference to Shiitake Uranai (しいたけ占い - Shiitake Fortune), which looks to be a website that posts weekly fortunes for each horoscope sign.

That was cute and I only realized now that Sayaka and Miyabi's relationship is essentially Mei and Yuzu's but reversed. With the stoic one madly in love with the bubbly one (although Miyabi is way, way denser than Yuzu)

Is good to see that Sabu seems to have found inspiration again and seems to be eager to work on citrus for a while.

Thanks for the translations chaosteam.

Ever since it happened I really wanted to know what the Citrus girls were doing during Operation Al-Aqsa Flood. Nothing as usual

I don't think that's ever happening "on screen." Did the author promise that at some point or am I missing something? She does not seem interested, but people seem to really expect it. The implications of the previous extra's final scenes is likely as much as it'll go, maybe a bit more but I would hold my breath. Even with it's opening chapters, it's never really been that type of series.

Jokes and memes aside, it is really weird how some people are so fixated on Yuzu and Mei fucking

I think because Citrus has/had this rep of this steamy taboo romance. So I think people believe it should have happened by now, a lot of the early expectation as far as I remember was basically what FlowerChild's works ended up being, where their manga focus on a messy highly sexual toxic relationship.

Plus various other long running Yuri manga have had some kind of sexual encounter, even if it happens off page, it's something that has definitely happened. Citrus for having this spicy rep surprisingly hasn't gone very far with it.

I understand that for sure and it's not a big deal anyway, but Citrus hasn't ever really been a spicy series has it? It was only so superficially for a bit. It had "spicy" scenes mostly earlier on but the tone and direction wasn't that way and it's been years since then so it's interesting that the expectation still lingers. Citrus seemed to be making a point earlier on about its characters' mental states and that was it. It's really been an "innocent" series even when those scenes were present.

The issue isn’t for me about “fucking” per se but about the trajectory of the characters, especially Mei. As has recently been pointed out, OG Mei was a Proper Japanese Lady masking a smoldering volcano of emotion—sexual desire, yes, but also, among other things, grief over the “loss” of her father. Her resistance to going all-in sexually with Yuzu was more about struggling to keep herself under control rather than about fending off Yuzu’s advances.

It’s easy to forget that the start of the benighted “Second Arranged Marriage” arc interrupted a Mei-Yuzu makeout session that both had been longing for. Ever since then Mei has consistently been transformed from a firecracker (h/t to Altair for the phrase) into a damp mop.

Had readers still been getting regular doses of those Mei-Yuzu hickey-leaving competitions of the past I’m pretty sure there would have been fewer laments about “when will they fuck?”.

Yeah the series feels inconsistent I think. There was moments that built it's rep as this steamier romance, but then there's other times where it feels nothing like that. The series is something I wouldn't exactly call "wholesome", but generally it's not fiery and sexually intense either. I think it leaves various parts of it's audience not really getting what they wanted or expected out of the series. Even years later people want what they liked about earlier parts to return, some of that passionate and intense emotion at least.

I don't need to see fingers in pussy on screen, but I would like some indication of physicality and passion.

Mei indicated something about backing off and trying to do a relationship properly; it'd be nice to see actually trying to do a relationship properly.

Yeah, that “We’re going to put off your birthday celebration, but it turns out that on the alternate date I really need to be doing paperwork in the next room instead, so please be quiet. But I did go out of my way to consult with your friend on a nice present for you” business was a real WTF moment.

On some kind of “reality” basis, sure, things come up and plans get changed, but as a narrative/characterization beat chosen by the author, what exactly was it supposed to tell us about the MC’s relationship?

She could have done it on the wedding night as a culmination of the story, without being explicit at all, simply showing a post-coital scene.but of course it would have left a very important element to play with in citrus+ (as it is doing) As you yourself have said and many more comments here (although some seem to not want to understand it) "no one" wants to see them fuck, we simply want them to act like what they are (a couple of lovers who are getting married)

Oh, a lot of us would want to see them fuck! It's just not the root of the complaints and criticism of Citrus+. Or put another way, we'd like to see it but it's not a "demand". The demand is "some sign of affection? Any? Please?" Which the wordless special delivered better than the entire rest of the series.

The covers too. A number of the covers suggest a . . . rather different relationship than is depicted on the inside pages.

That's why I put nobody in quotes. It can be made explicit, it can be made lighter, and it can even be implied without showing anything, but at this point what I want to see (at least) there are more scenes like this special. In my opinion the possible hard between yuzu and mei and the harumatsu are simple saboruota games to keep the reader with hype about the series . I hope I'm wrong, but at this point, If Sabu gives me a romantic dinner, some passionate kisses, more of his life as a couple, I'll settle for it...
