Warning, long wall of text summary below:

There seems to be a spite of order amongst the chapters, if you just go by the fixed lettering.

"Front" = "Cage" + "Kodoku" + "Airen (Front special)"

"Middle" = "Tenohira" + Zangai"

"Last" = "Gekkou" + "Uso"

"Specials" = "1/2" + "Edge (Prologue)" + "Fake (Prologue)"

"Extra" = "TOGE"

The other half hasn't been translated into English yet.

Gosh, I love this series! Romantic angst is one of my huge favorites. Although it took a little getting used to the unorthodox pairings, as I'm more acquainted to (and fancy) the more "official" pairings like Nagato/Mutsu for example. As mentioned, chapters are a mess, and I'm a little lazy to hunt through the author's entire pixiv to see which goes where. Edit: Looked up the order, I think "Cage" is the first, followed by Tenohira, 1/2, edge, fake.

You her friend or something? I've seen this posted in several places already when this is not the only western academic article on yuri around. To me, the Eureka magazine issue badly needs to be translated, as that is almost the only in-depth publication that the Japanese themselves ever did on the yuri genre which they, you know, created.

So super sweet! I love it immensely. Just gorgeous and romantic simplicity. ^_^

By the way who the heck likes Takeda??? If your favourite character is Takeda you are clearly not a yuri fan.

Wow. That's super unreasonable. Just because I favor yuri doesn't mean that I demand yuri even when it's not in a character's best interest.

Then you've proven that poster right. Because, one more time, where is the lack of Girl x Boy manga? If you favor such an outcome over the very limited yuri that is available, then you are really not much of a fan. Nothing wrong with liking different things though. But don't poop in our manga please.

I don't like Takeda.. I don't even get how a boyfriend is the favorite character in a yuri.

because he is a decent human being?

Likeable ≠ Favorite

I get why people would find him inherently likeable, but a favorite? Sorry, but I don't really consider standard human decency to be anything to shout about. It's something everyone should practice. Which makes for an interesting study on how nearly all the characters are portrayed to be rather screwed-up. Takada probably acts a counter-mirror reflection to see the contrast between the twisted dynamics amongst those involved.

Anyhow, my impression of him took a nosedive, when he refuses to speak to Yuma just because they didn't get to do the tango. What a nice guy indeed! It seems sex is more important than the relationship they built up. Even Hotaru isn't that shallow. She is still there and speaking with her normally, even though Yuma is not her girlfriend.

Takeda is the favorite?
I am Scary now, very scary

Yeah, you and me, keeping our fingers crossed.

YH's readership is mainly female in Japan, so that they'd like the male character who looks decent isn't that strange. It's not a magazine for lesbians.

While it certainly isn't meant to be a female "Bara" magazine, in the earlier days of Yuri Hime, their columns were actually occupied with quite a bit of "Lesbian Talk" from the female readers. With a lot writing in to say how they also have girl crushed in real life, from a cool sempai to other women in their offices..etc, and a few 100% straight ones finding this yuri thing curious and a bit intriguing. However, those are ancient days. The readership has changed a lot over the years. I believe at present, it's a bit closer to a 50/50 female to male ratio.

Blerght, Miku Kissing are random guy make me temble

Don't worry, Mugino. It's only a temporary thing. I love the part where Anna felt worlds away from them, when they were cryptically going on about, "Wanting to become beautiful when you are in love.. and how you'd stretch yourself..etc.." Because it winds up being all for Anna. Yes, they both love her.

TL;DR: good series, less yuri, more murder, more mayhem

Seriously, GTFO. Go read the 100 other manga in the universe which offers just "battle royal" or "mayhem". Don't piss on my one "battle royal" story with yuri. I like the yuri themes, thanks.

that last picture on chap 20 though XD

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

"I've got no bad guys to fight!"
"And the problem is?"

Funny as fuck! Poor Stag Rider, missing the superhero boat. Perhaps, on the next unpredictable threat (Bet they happen in cycles!), he will get something to pummel.

And all my yuri lovin ended nicely. Yay! :D

Everyone's complaining about all kinds of things and the only thing I don't get is Miyuki's haircut. It's just not her.

Hikari was the one who got the haircut, not Miyuki, just saying.

@Chapters
I got my Captain x Yuri kissu, and I love those still-shots of them! I shall withhold more comment till the final chapter comes out. There seems to be some fore-shadowing with the front narratives. I hope it doesn't end badly in a way I don't want. Crosses-fingers

On both Yuri and Miyuki's "favorite things" list, the sisters list each other as their favorite aspects of life.
Miyuki only lists Hikari as number three on her list, but now she's suddenly her most important person.

Heya, while I enjoy the current pairings I feel your pain. While the author is really cool and having a lot fun with writing the story, I thought it was just "normal"?, nothing ground-breaking nor earth-shattering. The yuri is a darn lovely bonus. Perhaps you could imagine some extra space between them. Like I don't think Miyuki will turn down any propositions from Yuri, maybe? ;D

Captain x Yuri = Awaiting! Don't let that cover go to waste as a tease!

Can't believe I want to see more yuri on-goings with Marika, and her girlfriend, Karen. I'm amazed at Marika still being able to feel intimacy with so many dead bodies around but that's a psycho killer for you.

Love the further romance development between the two MCs, and more of the story-line slowly revealed. Chapter 4 should deliver a little more of that yuri between Akane and Kusuda.

wtf are you talking about, how could YuriHime stop publishing yuri -_-

That is what the editor mentioned, not me. Aye, but I'm the one assuming the worst-case scenario. We won't really know what sort of directional change they truly intended till starting from next year at least. But it's not really too much to worry about. The yuri genre has grown quite a bit. It's more than just Yuri Hime as you've noticed.

I was just disputing that poster who claims Yuri Hime don't publish the "dark" stuff, they always have. However, "fluffy yuri" has it's roots for a reason.

Also before saying something so crazy and nonsensical, at least give your sources.

Do some research next time. Why would any real yuri fan want the magazine to turn into a hetero one?

I think that is a lot of fearmongering. Yuri Hime wont suddenly turn into a het magazine.

Just in case. No one knows like I said. What is likely to happen though (if it does), might be more subtext, "moe-type fluff" stories and less explicit yuri. Because these things sell really well in Japan.

I'm guessing this is part of YH branching into new genres instead of remaking the same shy girl/popular girl that every artist has since copied from Morinaga. Same deal with series like Tachibanakan and Netsuzou Trap.
Glad to see Yuri Hime is starting to publish a different kind of stories. I do like fluffy yuri in a school setting, but it can get redundant and boring if you read too much of it.
Yes, that's exactly what I want! Let's be honest, so far we haven't had much choice, but yuri as the main and sole genre for a story gets kind of boring after a while. I would much rather see all kinds of stories where yuri is just present, just like het romance is often present as a side plot in most stories. And gay panic and angst is just.. Overdone.

Yuri Hime has always published all sorts of stories per what is contributed. Just because most don't make it to English scantalations doesn't mean they don't exist. What the Yuri Hime editor explicitly mentioned was that they wanted to branch out of yuri AS a genre (not "main plot" or whatsoever), meaning they could scrap the magazine as one that publishes any yuri at all and strictly go Boy x Girl or Girl x Boy.

So don't get too presumptive or excited yet.

Wow! So lovingly sweet, and the terrifically beautiful art makes it all the more scrumptious!

fuck it, i dont trust the translators, i'll just go read the raws and see for myself what's being said :/

also am i the only one that doesn't care about the cheating aspect of this? then again, my personality is pretty indifferent, i don't give a shit about anything, so every genre is literally fine with me (am i a horrible person or just so open minded that i'm beyond immoral ^^;?)

Cheating is not the problem. It's the 1980 cliche of the yuri and hetero conflict + seemingly abuse (in this one), with yuri likely losing (The overall ending is not out yet). People say Citrus is cliche, but I find this type of cliche even worse. Yuri doesn't need to be sweet all the time (ex.Akuma no Riddle), but it should stay yuri at least, whether they be "subtext" yuri (which I consider as equally yuri) or canon in a yuri manga.

This ran in Yuri Hime btw. Like, not to spoil but the ending and overall content should be relatively obvious given that fact.

Bit unsure about what you meant, but a bad end is very possible. Yuri Hime did mention of their intention to swap their focus. And some of their issues of late, are the lowest rated in years of the manga magazine running.

Jeebus fuck, you guys remind me of /u/ while Octave was still being written. This manga is CLEARLY marked NTR and CHEATING and HET. If you don't like these things, WHY THE HOLY FUCK ARE YOU HERE IN THE COMMENTS THREAD?!

＞Oh, hurr durr I have to comment on how much I hate these things and how much I'll pass on this manga and never read it ever, etc.

Protip: We. Don't. Care.
Please go somewhere else and stop posting in a thread for a manga you supposedly don't care about.
Just go and stay go.

Protip: Learn to scroll past comments you don't like. If anti-yuri folks like you can yell and whine loudly about how much you dislike yuri all the damm time over the internet at large, so can yuri fans do the reverse, even though I personally do not agree with some complains in concern to how one views the yuri genre.

And while it's good to take a calmer wait and see approach, yuri fans do have a right to complain as this is published in the Yuri Hime magazine. Just like hetero fans will complain if yuri pops up in their het manga. And if you like the het stuff so much, I don't see a lack of boy/girl mangas elsewhere. Funny how you chose a website which coincidentally happen to host majorly yuri, just to read the fewer het manga and whine at yuri fans (yuri folks will obviously flock to this place, due to the vast amount of yuri content than anywhere else) on here when they don't like the het direction in a yuri series? You must really have issues.

Shouldn't the tag be changed to "Completed"? Or are there specials to be done?

Apparently, there is "sorta" a kind of name for us, in Japan at least.

"We call them yuri zuki (means yuri fan)."

Woah! Took a look at the raws, and I would love to see this scantalated right to the end! While I enjoy Asagi Ryuu's works in general, if anyone is expecting the usual PWP watersports, I'm afraid you are going to be disappointed. This manga series is a departure from some of the usual, quite romance/angst based with hot make-out/sensual scenes in between.

I wish more chapters could magically be out now!

And if it's the end, well, it's a pity. I liked the chemistry between Anna and Miku

Contrary to other people's opinions, I enjoyed their chemistry too. Frankly, they have far better build-up than Anna and Ema, which in my view came plenty more out of the left field (even though I'm happy with and love the pairing).

I still never got anyone else's opinion on Citrus' speculated length... Thoughts?

I'll bet on some 8-10 volumes. If it's not cut short, of course.

I hope it won't get silly lengthy just cos it's popular... it is? I dunno how is it selling in Japan. But I hope it's no more than 8 volumes... I kinda wanted to buy it when the whole thing was done,as a birthday gift to myself ¬¬

If it gets even past 5 volumes, wow, that would be a miracle. Most yuri runs don't even last more than 2-3 volumes, and sometimes, they do not reach completion.

@Chapter 15
Wondrous work and another neat chapter into the bargain! I kind of think that chapters 14-16 are meant to be read back to back, unlike with Matsuri's arc where the story was unfolded with the right amount of suspense in each portion. Thus, with the lengthy downtimes, the pacing is pretty thin and it just feels like you are getting piecemeal for the time value per wait. Eagerly anticipating chapter 16 for sure!

Scanlated works that we are not allowed to host:

Blue Friend - Shoujo yuri!

Nobara no Mori no Otometachi - Onee-sama type yuri

Frankly, I find the matter with Nobara no Mori no Otometachi a tad annoying. It's obvious Yurikai has pretty much ditched the project, likely due to real life. RL is of course more important, so in that case, they should release the raws to Yuri Project or something, for them to scanlate, instead of hoarding for credit, forgetting that scantalating doesn't mean that one is suddenly now part owner of the manga. The credit strictly belongs to the hard work of the mangaka and/or associated publisher. Understandably, it's sometimes easy to forget that. So it helps to remember.

Personally I see them as being friends at the end with a very close understanding, not to mention a shared connection to the late Kana. But I'd rather not see them pursue a relationship.

Well after time, so long as its not as a replacement thing (which Nanase made explicit), I think it'd be fine

Agreed! As long as both have arrived into their own, and aren't using each other as an emotional crutch, I don't see why a relationship can't happen. In fact, they have a healthy start. Nanase feels like she could freely be herself in front of Hina, unlike with Kana where she feels more constrained to be a "good" girl. And it is clear, that she is looking at Hina for the girl that she is, and not as some pseudo Kana. Any love relationship will be on equal terms now.

I thought Saburota was a woman?

Yes, she is. Just that everyone who didn't look that up (which is the majority), simply assume it's a he. Mangaupdates has the gender of most authors when applicable. If one wants to know for sure, a quick search seems a good idea.
