Probably Matsuri is still so young shrugs. I mean, Yuzu and Harumi are the same age and Yuzu babysat Matsuri while Matsuri was still a very young kid...

They only have a 2 year age gap. Matsuri is a first year high school student while Harumin is a third year high school student. It's the same age gap that Glasses-senpai and Mitsuko have.

I'd also like to point out that Matsuri is the same age now as Yuzu was when the manga started.

Given what Citrus plus' promo image looked like it will probably be set in high school and be a comedic slice of life series.

How long was that time skip at the very end? 3 years,6? 1 month? lol someone please enlighten me

That's the thing, nobody knows.

Is it finally over?

Citrus plus spin-off starts this winter.

And if Sabu is going to continue the series in some way, then why rush to the end?

I mean its pretty clear that the manga was canned and Saburota was given a set amount of chapters to wrap the series up. This isn't something that isn't an uncommon occurrence and it sucks for stuff like this to happen, but there's little that can be done about it. Citrus probably just wasn't selling well anymore, or Yuri Hime felt it was time to let the series go.

They already announced a Citrus spin-off called Citrus plus. Its announcement is Chaosteam's credits page for chapter 41.

Some people have been wanting a change, so you and other people might be pleased. Plus also refers to the volume bonus chapters, so the Citrus plus series could switch focus between different characters like the volume bonus chapters do.

Of course this same thing could annoy readers who liked the series as it was and who wanted a direct sequel.

Spin-off typically means change in MC or change in genre. For example the series could be slice-of-life comedy now. This also means it's not a sequel to Citrus, so these events most likely take place before where chapter 41 will end.

Citrus' anime doesnt cover even half of the content, how does that promote the much later volume? Its meant to promote the entire manga, not just the ending volume that the new readers wouldnt have any idea what was going on.

The anime did boost sales. The sales rankings on sites like amazon.jp surged. People either started from the beginning or picked up where the anime left off.

Many manga series don't get complete anime adaptations, since the source material was ongoing at the time. But many times they don't get second seasons, but rather are expected to just pick up and read the manga if they want to see more.

A story's climax isnt usually at the very end. There is usually a wind down period after showing the effects of the climax. Her stating there is the climax means nothing about when it would actually end.

That's not how Yuri Hime uses the word climax in relation to its previews. The word climax means the final chapter of a series as far as the magazine is concerned for the monthly preview.

The adaptation was already a warning, like for previous series of the magazine, the anime adaptation's purpose was to promote the last volumes. And the volumes are a top seller for the editor. Citrus, after Yuru Yuri is their series that sells the best in tankobon format. They earned new readers after the anime attracted by the series, so very unlikely that it is ending cause of the wedding being a drama not appreciated.

That makes no damn sense, investing in an anime just to promote a single volume is the dumbest thing I have heard yet. You would expect them to use it to promote several more volumes, not just a single one.

Yuri Hime did the same thing with Love to Lie Angle and NTR. Released anime adaptations just shortly before the series were planned to end.

Sorry if someone has already asked this question and had it answered.

I was under the impression that Citrus was going to go for 50 odd chapters. Does anyone know why the sudden (or at least I'm assuming sudden) change?

Citrus having 50+ chapters was only a rumor. What happened was a new fan read the series on a certain manga site that counted the volume bonus chapters in the chapter count. Then that person spread the misinformation that Citrus would be over 50 main chapters long since they didn't realize the volume bonus chapters were being counted in the total.

This has become a fairly widespread rumor since it was spread around on social media so much, so I'm expecting quite a bit of shock once chapter 41 comes out.

what would make you think that Mei is pregnant?
The plot.

I mean…
She left for a whole year, it's nine months of gestation, she could practically have given birth.

The point of the timeskip was to show that Yuzu and Mei are still in love even after months of being apart. Also, to have Matsuri attend the academy post-time skip in order for her plan to sneak into the Udagawa mansion to work, since it required Matsuri to be wearing an Aihara Academy uniform.

I'd also like to point out that Udagawa thinks of Mei as still being a child, since he wants to put their arranged marriage off so she can finish school and graduate before Mei is forced into any kind of commitment.

And Mei's goal isn't to have a baby, it's to take over the academy and run it.

Add in the fact that chapter 41 seems to be the final chapter based on the Yuri Hime magazine preview, and it's very unlikely such a drama would be introduced in the finale. The author constantly mentions Yuzu and Mei's happy future together as a couple in her author notes for the volumes, so the story will obviously end on a very happy note for them.
