This manga is dragging so much that it's getting to look likes "How Do I Get Together With My Childhood Friend?".

Nah it's got 17 more chapters to reach that level. It's been fine so far, only 10 chapters in. I don't think this will be a long series either based on being adapted from a single novel.

The only reason this won't happen is that the next chapter is the last. But if that wasn't the case you just know that something would happen to make Minami flub her confession and Yuzu to think Minami was in love with someone else for a few chapters.

My thought is that it will happen, but will take panels rather than chapters, or even volumes, to resolve.

Definitely. They'll kiss on the last corner of the last panel of the last page.

Well the obvious problem with this is, how is that any different from that ski trip, she was already determined to do the same thing :P I think that's the biggest problem with the whole manga in a nutshell, it's kinda repetitive and really likes to spin in circles doing more or less the same thing, like some kind of cartoon where villain always loses at the end of the episode and in the next one barely anything changed. I enjoyed a lot of it regardless but it could have been way better.

It has it's premise and stuck to it for dear fucking life. Nothing happens. Groundhog day. Doesn't exude a lot of confidence from the author. Of course it ends when they get together, if not they'd have to write a real romance without the starting premise and it seems they weren't prepared for that. It won't just be the last chapter they get together, it'll be the very last page too!

Everyone goes on about girlfailures but few people are brave enough to examine the girldisaster. God bless this comic

Not every author can be so brave.

This is good stuff. Really nothing like it.

Now that I think about it, Xiao - Lu does resemble a cute deer. :)
Also, We all know that when Tong Tong put the choker on Xiao-Lu's neck, it had a double meaning in Xiao-Lu's mind. ;)

Nothing but panic lol

Really good series. Glad I found it after all this time.

Really cute chapter. Hope we see Olivia again. She's like a second daughter, no? Unless I'm mixing up names and events. It's touching that she's been watching over her "mother."

IIRC she is less daughter and more "unlucky childhood friend". Evie's mom and Olivia were both acolytes of the Saint back in their youth, and I am assuming that Olivia caught feelings for her best friend that have never gone away.

Yeah, that feels right! Thanks. "Sisters" is better then, and anything else I guess we'll see. I'm glad she's making her comeback into the story.

Internalized homophobia is a possible, and probably optimistic considering the alternatives, explanation of why the author might have no issue painting this outcome as a good one in the story she writes.

No, it's not. Random assumptions based on very little isn't better than saying nothing. Just because a hypothetical sounds nice in writing doesn't make it more likely. There is nothing to go off of for this kind of leap. Limited data is a severe understatement. Even floating the idea of this is already much.

Usui Shio's pen has been on point with her series man, only good stuff have came since Crescent moon and Doughnuts ended

Definitely. She's great. Two series at once, both very different and both great too.

The absolute awe once she saw Okiku. She claimed her woman and ruined the self esteem of two others at the same time. Commendable.

Also, our horny ghost is definitely hiding some hurt, but maybe she'll learn about love from our two love birds.

I thought maybe the niece likes the aunt and the aunt likes the sister in law. I wish there was a clear answer. The reason why I think the niece likes the aunt is because she requests a kiss instead of pudding, which seems unnecessary unless she likes her"that" way.

She definitely likes the aunt--part of what she says she has similar with the aunt: being gay and having an unrequited love to an older woman that's part of the family (one way or the other). Her little confession served two purposes. Interesting little story.

Alright. Potential confrontation coming up. Last time, the writer chickened out and skipped it. Will we have the necessary scene this time?

You'll have 5 chapters about her uncle and you'll like it! Then the girls will enter the shop, laughing about how good prom was.

cool and all yeah, but seriously, filler now? in this crucial moment in the series? I have been enjoying this relatively but this right here seems just like lazy writing

It feels like a setup for Mimei to be a voice of reason. Either to divide the couple, or to drive them together. Maybe we get to see Mimei and Kasane's past relationship to better understand her future choices when crucial moments occur.

(but yeah, could be lazy writing, we just have to see in future chapters).

We already saw and know their past though. She's just a major character and it's important to understand her psychology.

Nice, using "music" literally and metaphorically, while having Koga step in and change the tune. That's good stuff. No, don't conform to the "popular music!" Remember your rocker GF, she's slow and mysterious but she's finally here.

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.

https://x.com/_saburouta/status/1146405027465924608/

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.
