.

As much as I love Bloom into you, I could not find good fanfic to fill in my heart hole while waiting. Oddly with Citrus there are so many great fanfics that I just got completely suck into while bing read it. It kinna make me forgot the main manga story line lol.
I guess there is a great benefit of a flaw and lack of backup story, is having fan imagination to fill in those hole hahaha
P/s: I dont like Citrus anime, the craftmanship is really bad. It show the lack of care and consideration. On the other hand, Bloom into you is much more well-executed. The art, sound track and flow is really fit the pace of the manga.

LOL true, it kinda makes sense that way.

The Citrus anime, for me, has hits and misses.

I get to compare the manner the anime had it with the way everything's portrayed in the Citrus manga; except for the art and soundtrack, I feel like the studio who produced Citrus anime butchered some aspects of the manga story.

Bloom Into You is just fantastic. :)

Honestly, the only drama I expect is with Yuu's family.

Nah if that happens we will find out that Yuu’s mum had a thing with Touko’s mum and it all be smoothed over.

[insert "Thor/Daenerys sceptical face" meme here]

Holy shit, I say. LOL.

I kinda ship the teacher and Mizore (er, what's the teacher's name again?). Sorry about the heresy, it's just the age gap Yuri fan in me got stoked.

The worst part of this manga is not Mei. It's how them coming out to their family was handled.
Like how in the world their parents were so fine so quick? The mom didn't even seem shocked, and even if she knew, the author didn't even add any clues throughout the story to hint at it.
The grandpa was the worst part. You mean to tell me that he would accept them like that so quick? Someone like him would definitely be the type to denounce Mei of the family. The same man who wanted her to get married to a 30+ yo man when she would be barely an adult.

There was potential for the story to actually have a substance, if Sabu wrote about these instead. Mei's cold character and avoidance to Yuzu would also be justified. Now she just seems like a brat cause everyone around her is so supportive.

Crazy ride's crazy...

They are so fucking cute!
I thought I was going to lose interest once Touko and Yuu were together, but thankfully I was wrong.

WOW. That's an awesome chapter. Can't wait for scans... :D

Goddd Damnn it. Meiii is so cutee!! and so is Yuzu.
I just can't understand the hate. Have been stalking Dynasty for a year and finally make an account just to depend Mei =)))
Btw Citrus fanfic is also great !!!

  1. Yes, they are cute.
  2. So far, most of the "hate" you see here are actually valid critiques of the Citrus and Citrus+ stories. Very few, AFAIK, are considered visceral nonsensical hate. Personally, I don't hate Citrus at all. I don't consider it 'trash' (the word used by Zeria and others to describe both the anime and the manga). As an Asian pretty much influenced by the melodrama of Mexicanovelas or telenovelas--which thrive on surprise plots which happen to be annoying plot holes (yeaaahhh Maria La Del Barrio and all that stuff) and characters who appear out of nowhere--I love it for the joy of the ride and its positive ending. Well, defending Mei, that'd be easy if SU threw us fans some bone to keep us mentally occupied--maybe a backstory of Mei's condition why she's like that instead of simply saying she had a duty et cetera 2x. Maybe, an undiagnosed ASD or childhood trauma--kinda like what Nakatani-sensei did with Touko Nanami... But there's none of that. And here we are with Citrus+,albeit the fantastic art, with all of us trying to decipher what does Mei's facial expression truly mean. We're not all psychologists, ya know.
  3. Agreed. And so many Citrus fanfics have a better storyline and structure than the original one. Sometimes, what I do think is maybe there are two points: first POINT, creators are unsatisfied with how things are in both Citrus and Citrus+ they take things in their own hands and resolve issues in the story (i.e Mei's Meibotism). Second POINT is the indirect intention of keeping Citrus relevant. I've visited AO3 and other fanfic sites and am pleasantly surprised just how many fanfictions are there with the Citrus girls as the main characters.

Pretty interesting seeing people applying burgerland standards and calling Midori a pedo before anything even happened. And even if it will, it won't be because she's attracted to Haru's childish body. Finally, Haru is clearly smart enough to properly understand what consent is. I really don't see how reading this can make anyone uncomfortable, at least as it is now.
That aside, my hope for this series is that the author will throw us a curveball and have Haru fall in love for Midori, with Midori trying to hold herself back.

YUP. THIS.

Cute chapter, wish it had been longer tho.

Hmm, rapey.
Looking at the story tho, it's karma that guides that but they'd end up trapped in a never-ending cycle of what goes around comes around, it's just what it seems to me.

Great art still. I enjoy how this was drawn.

Someone on reddit posted a quick translation of the newest chapter for anyone who is as impatient as me: https://imgur.com/a/8U1g4sp#VTF7fsc

Cool.

Is this the last chapter? Feels like a conclusion to me...

I take your meaning, but that last page would be a total troll ending to the whole series.

How I want to end

Panel 1.. Yuu wake up, hair down, stretching
Panel 2.. Yuu looks down and realising she is naked.
Panel 3.. Looks across at equally naked Touko
Panel 4.. Yuu turns bright red with steam coming out of ears as memory of night before returns.

:-)

End of the month. The magazine comes out around the 25th or so and the scanlation follows a few days later.

Nice to know, thanks :)
