C'mon Okiku, who did you really think she's talking about? Of course it's only you.

So when Otsuyu had diamonds in her eyes and asked for forgiveness that wasn't her right? She even called herself by name (which she doesn't normally do) and didn't remember what she said after. Feels like she got momentarily possessed. Also not a huge fan of a rapey joke character. Their "comedy" tends to be very debatable.

I kinda don't really care about arata

Same. He's alright but I don't care for him more than what could have been in his place.

If Lin luxi doesn't fess up about the simple ass fact that she had a crush once upon a time and the girl was controlling and shit PLUS the whole wanting to be manhandled thing then I'm really gonna explode. It's getting pretty frustrating that she just doesn't freaking communicate super simple things. It makes a kind of sense because of her abusive mother but please....

I think you're taking this a bit too seriously. It's not a major issue for them. It's also not a hotly kept secret. She's just embarrassed.

Lil' sis does have big poly vibes, if nothing else, what with how much she's in love with her big sister (maybe not romantically?, but very much sexually) yet seems to be falling in love with Yanagi without the big-sis feelings diminishing

She's just transitioning between her feelings. Nothing suggests she (or our MC) would be interested in dating multiple people. For what it's worth, her sister is already shown to be only interested in older married women. They're never dating. She's just in denial for now but I'm sure eventually she'll have to accept her sister's preference and also her own growing feelings for our MC.

Huh, all this time I thought Gran had blue hair.

That was just your Gran blue fantasy

That's good.

Or you could have wait. It's not like the team is inactive or slow.

And I never said that they were.

Idk what’s wrong with wanting to check, maybe spoiling it isn’t cool (I’ve seen other comments spoiling the next chapters before) but I’d rather have clearer expectations, get my grievances over with as soon as possible, so I’m not upset when all the worse tropes in existence are used.

Like, I know I’m more invested than I should be, I know I care more than I should. If I get it out now, I won’t have a lot to say later.

I get that but people don't generally like spoilers posted in that way, although as you said it's not consistent. If you want to get out your thoughts as they come, you could post your comment as a word document or a note on your phone and copy/paste it here once the translation for that chapter shows up. That way you get your thoughts in order, clear your head and have less disgruntled comments coming your way.

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.

Seeing here the Brazilian flag (my country being represented, what a surprise!) in this illustration by Saburouta about the global premiere of the TV anime, I shouldn't argue why "Citrus" is still the most popular yuri title in recent times. It's already successful, now all that's left is to conclude this spin-off. The publication cannot stop at the side of the road like this.

I understand your concerns about the author's current state and the delay in releasing new chapters, but let's trust the sources so you don't lose your mind.

It was for the rebroadcast but also Citrus+ released simultaneously worldwide, which is/was a big deal.

Where is chapter 6!? the manga is apparently finished with 9 chapters according to AniList. I need to see what happens next!

It definitely ended at chapter 9 (with an extra), since I picked it up a while ago. Hopefully someone starts this again. It must have been dropped.

So she gets her revenge for the fake locking out by fake leaving, am I reading that right?

Nah, she's chickening out because she's a softie. She knows what her GF is thinking and she's not ready to spend the night alone with her lol

I thought that was her in the last panel but it looks like it's their potted plant.

are we gonna hand wave poor writing with the idea that this is just “ waky comedy”?

Yeah and we'll have a good time too.

^ That's what it is canonically (even had a whole chapter kind of calling out the audience), but people ship however. Sayo doesn't seem connected to anyone romantically. She's in her own hilarious world lol

Seeing this happen for the umpteenth time, it does make me wonder if so many yuri manga pull this will they wont they shit for so long cuz theyre afraid of having to finish up fast or get axed once the confession is over.

I think they just have an initial interesting premise with no plan outside of that and don't know what to do beyond it. This has been an attempt to maintain the starting premise/hook no matter what it costed.

Status quo will remain, no matter the cost! Chapter 28 is the finale btw. So we really stalled till the end.

I think by womanizer she means that she goes all in and seduces a girl and then when the infatuation wears off she just stops caring, maybe.
I mean Kasane has totally friendzoned the ex, for example. I wonder why exactly they broke up though...

From my memory, the issue wasn't that Kasane womanized. She was distant from people, even though she got close to them. She didn't seem to care that much romantically. For example, once they broke up, Kasane immediately adjusted and was fine being friends (check the previous chapter). The friend broke up because she realized they didn't feel the same, though they used the same words. They discussed this "distance issue" in an earlier chapter (8).

Part of the friend's current realization (and what she "tested" in the last chapter) is that Kasane finally seems to care for someone truly and understands her feelings. "Love" really means "love," this time. Before her feelings were superficial, but she meant well and didn't seem to realize it. She was the overly bubbly, touchy girl. She wasn't just dating around or anything. She just never loved her friend (or anyone) in the way she loves Meguru.

In the first place, Mitsuki was never really interested in, or looking for, a record deal. It's just something that dropped in her lap without warning and people around her hyped up. Especially Aya, who wants to get Mitsuki's music "out there".

Exactly. She never said she wanted to go to this party in the first place. Aya just assumed and made decisions for her. That's what she's angry about. That and Aya lying about her real feelings and intentions. She's definitely going to the prom. A bouquet of roses makes no sense as a gift to a random music get together where she doesn't know anyone.

As opposed to the one on every street corner in yuri manga. . . .

This feels like the premise for a comedy oneshot.

"But senpai... we can't! Girls can't love girls!"

(protagonist opens window, immediately sees signs for six different lesbian brothels)

More like they'd find an app/webpage or find someone on social media to connect with, like Makino. But that would be a hilarious panel reveal lol

We looked into this before, and there seem to be at least two in Tokyo, with 'lesbian' or 'yuri' right in the names.

The establishment I saw earlier had a whole series of chains across Tokyo. All lesbian only. The number surprised me but didn't at the same time.

SrNevik, I see you're making the risky internet searches so the rest of us don't have to.

Haha. They're actually really public. It's not really risky.

Never stopping to think, “Wait, does Japan even have dedicated lesbian brothels/escort services? Does anywhere?”

There are similar services in Japan. Unless you mean specifically lesbian, then yeah that I can't say for sure. I do know there are individual workers who only take female clients not that dissimilar to what Mashiro does. I'm sure there are establishments for that purpose too. A quick search found a few but I'm not going too deep into vetting them. Agree with everything else, though I don't think Mashiro's part of the story is that extraordinary.

Riri best. Riri or bust. Riri -- bust.

Riri saikyou. Riri to kyonyuu. Riri — kyonyuu. :D

(It’s just funny to me that that joke kinda works in Japanese too)

Seriously, though, Riri is definitely the breast option… I mean! Tit’s clear that she is the sweetest girl…. Er, Mei would be a real boob if she didn’t milk that opportunity as much as possible while she juggsles her harem. … Uhh… randombabbling

You seem to have something on your mind but I can't quite put my finger on what...

It's much more likely that nudity and/or showing underwear (we didn't see which, she could have been demonstrating with a gesture) to another woman is simply not a big deal to her due to her experience as a sex worker, especially when she is in a nonsexual context of giving advice to another worker now.

My impression as well, especially given how happy she was to see Makino enter the apartment. I'd add importantly that the Kouhai is not just a random woman.

She's a friend trying to join Mashiro's profession, essentially a coworker asking for work advice from a mentor. That doesn't mean Mashiro would flash any old random woman. Possibly something she was comfortable doing with other friends in the industry in similar casual teaching situations. Just different experiences that they should talk about.

What Mashiro did was misunderstand what boundaries Makino wanted from her, that's a pretty fucking far cry from Makino saying "you'd fuck anyone without resistance or caring".

To piggyback: Mashiro welcomed Makino happily while casually explaining how she was helping the Kouhai before Makino's outburst, showing she didn’t think there was a problem or a secret to hide. She was explaining herself, like the other commenter wanted.

They didn't have a constructive and clear discussion a few chapters ago and that's been the lingering issue. It opened the door to the miscommunication that's happened.

Now they actually need to fully talk, rather than Makino dominating the conversation and unilaterally ending it like she did last time when Mashiro barely got a word in, despite her own reservations.

A miscommunication and slight difference in outlook is less bad than calling your loving GF "easy," because of her previous work. The implications of that common thought process are more damaging. I'm glad the author is calling that out, using Mashiro's good character to do so like always.

Aah, finally!
Just re-read LN vol 6+ recently, and am so glad at how well this was adapted.
Noice!

At which volume of the LN this moment occurs? I'm curious at how much I have to catch up if I pick up the LN.

Vol 6 is the visit to the grandparents and Gon, the festival, the confession, and ends with this manga chapter.
According to the author Vol8 is the canon ending. So everything after that is omake.

It's been a while since I've read the lns, but vol08 would be the Canon ending if the author couldn't finish the story for one reason or another right? Since he's been able to keep going with new volumes, these are all Canon too right?

It's the canon ending regardless and everything else is like extra chapters of a long strip comic/manga, etc. All canon still. Expands on stuff or fills in gaps in time, etc.

The raw ones came out about two weeks ago, right? is it going to be published?

It's already been done. I'm sure it'll be uploaded here in a bit.

Poor Kouhai haha. She's so innocent. That wasn't the best choice of words and carries some hurtful implications. I'm glad Makino recognizes how those words could reflect her trust and assumptions about Mashiro's past work.

Mashiro clearly didn't see helping Kouhai as a big deal, judging by her explanation and casual greeting of Makino. She has her boundaries and isn't a cheater, but they aren't on the same page there and need to talk things through.

I repeat again that they didn't have a good discussion a few chapters ago and that needs to remedied, to prevent future miscommunication. They'll figure it out, like always. They're both good people and madly in love.

Feels kinda iffy to post spoilers from the very end of the novels even with the black bars, like y'all are talking about stuff that won't hit this manga for like five years probably.

Yeah, that's fair. I'll edit it a bit. Still feel the need to respond to the poster above since their post is misleading but I'll make mine more vague. Good call. If they delete theirs, I'll delete mine once I'm off work later.
