As of June 2024 Citrus has sold 4 million copies in 16 volumes (1.9 million just from Japan alone) and according to the most recent numbers we have, is the second best selling yuri manga. Only behind Saki and above Yuru Yuri

I can get debating quality but Citrus is clearly very popular to this day. The other stuff is more interesting to me. For example, I love seeing 2DK and Fuzoroi no Renri up there. For some reason I forget how popular Murcielago is every now and then.
Nobody doubts that citrus is popular, I'm the first to "criticize" but I'm still here. Those data that you have provided are wonderful, but they also continue to talk about the past (in my humble opinion) because Treats citrus and citrus+ as a whole, when here we are talking about citrus+, not the original series. It would be interesting to see sales data separating the original series, and citrus+, as two series Independent (even if they are not). The reality is that one year we have only had one episode of citrus+ and history (in my opinion) has taken a bassoon. The future will.If you don't publish and months and months go by without information, and if you don't give something "attractive" to the reader, in the end people will end up getting tired.

Citrus+ has sold great. Also, this particular thread of the convo did start with someone questioning the series' popularity. Everything was in response to that.

citrus is being counted as a whole because the other series on the list also include spinoffs and LN versions to give them a little push to their numbers. Plus citrus is what in comic book industry is called an "evergreen title", a series that is never out of print because it consistently sells no matter how long it has been since its release. If you've seen pics of the yuri section of Japanese manga stores you'll notice that aside from the series they are currently pushing, citrus volumes (regular and plus) are always in the background.

citrus plus was also the first yuri series (to my knowledge at least) to have a world wide simultaneous release.

Once more looks like there'll be no new Citrus+ chapter in October, either https://www.ichijinsha.co.jp/yurihime/next/

Very nice hardcover edition of the original citrus for Germany

I'm sorry I haven't been keeping up, what is going on with Citrus' publication?

That seems to be the big question. Some people have speculated about the author’s health, but as far as anyone can tell that is indeed completely speculation. Saburouta does seem to be doing some Citrus-related work, like for the collected volumes. But new chapters of Citrus+ have been very few and far between and with (at least in my opinion) not a great deal of focus in the plot or characterization, and sometimes with the art obviously not completely finished.

If anyone knows more I would certainly be interested to hear it.

It has already been confirmed by several sites that in November there will be a chapter of citrus + (we will see if it has been worth the wait). And as far as it refers to everything is speculation (that if she is sick, that if she has taken a vacation, that if she is working on another project, that if she does not know how to continue the story and has taken some time to reflect, that if she has gotten bored ... who knows what we know for sure is that from October 2023 to October 2024 she has only published one chapter to close vol 6 and put it up for sale and apart from that three tweets, one on New Years, to tell us that she wanted to try "new things" (no idea) another to talk about merch, and another to tell us that the citrus anime would be free on YT for a certain time. We will see if after she publishes in November she maintains a more stable periodicity or if she announces something that we do not know. Greetings

There's a new chapter out this month!!!
