New ship is a go. Although I certainly didn't expect that incest subtext in Dahlia and Violet's relationship.

Regardless, Clarice continues to be the MVP by recklessly rushing headfirst into things with little worry about the consequences. We need more heroines like her in Yuri.

At this moment, the magicross arc felt like a full volume of filler.

That senpai might as well be saying "Go Allie and charm the panties off of that commoner!"

That said, looks like Lapis is taking back the spotlight in the next volume.

So Lapis is basically aiming to pull a Darkseid on the commoners, manipulating things behind the scenes and even fostering a new beacon of hope that the commoners can rally behind, so when she finally pulls the rug under them, not only the genocide will be justified, it will also cut from the root any future thoughts of insurrection and solidify the Nobles' position.

And yet, I think that final page says more about her mental state, those bags under her eyes and resigned (maybe even wistful) look while she looks at Natori cheering, tells me her resolution is starting to falter and the ominous "I really need to end things" is because she knows that if she doesn't act fast, she will become unable to give up Natori and continue with her schemes.

In that vein, is 100% true that Allie is Lapis' perfect foil and I'm sure that she will be key to stop the genocide and save Lapis from her demise.

Interesting, Sabu is making a special one-shot for the anthology to celebrate YH 20th anniversary

I'm not familiar with the Philipines history to say something about ti so I'll take your word for it, but I don't think this has anything to do with "American culture war slop", is merely about coming to terms with the story of our own countries and strive to be better. I don't think that holding on to a grudge for something that happened centuries ago and is impossible to change is the way to do it, especially when there are more urgent issues happening right now that we can do something about.

That said, I'm always thrilled to see the history of Mexico acknowledged by foreigners, both the good and the bad, because ultimately, we are defined by the sum of our parts.

^ "Jokes" about rape and oppression is 'fun, interesting and easily digestible' now apparently. Jesus Christ.

I love learning about history myself and there's plenty of YouTube channels I watch for that. Look how I never had to turn to artists like Centurii (who downplays colonization and rape and thinks saying the N-word is funny) to learn about history. You're seriously deliberately misinforming yourself on history if these kinds of artists are what you look to for source.

I see you missed the part where I mentioned history is my dayjob, is it because I'm well informed about the history of Mexico's colonization that I find Centurii's comic funny. The union of Spanish colonizers with indigenous women is why Mexico is such a culturally diverse country, and denying it or refusing to acknowledge it is denying our very existence.

Speaking as a Mexican guy with a degree in archeology, that post of Centurii-chan with the Spanish colonizers is absolutely hilarious

The colonization happened, and both Mexico and the Philippines as we know them wouldn't be here without them, yeah, the process hurt a lot of people but it happened and we can't close our eyes and pretend it didn't happen, we have to face it head on and learn from it and there is not better way to do it than by turning it into something fun, interesting and easily digestible for everyone. I know for a fact that a lot of people have learned more history from Centurii's comics than in history class. So just chill.

The final part

Man, I thought this was just a cutesy comedy yuri manga but the past two chapters have been filled with happening that are making my head spin. I can only wait and see where Dorothy's wild ride is going to take us next.

I'm glad to see Karasuma again tho

Greatest character arc in Vtubing

Is back! YAAAAAAAAY!

I'm so grateful for the recap because boy, the story keeps getting more and more complex, and I get lost easily, so those recaps are a lifesaver.

Since this chapter is pretty much justs etup there is not much for me to say but I find very interesting that Masaki was a classic weird kid just a couple of years ago, was Honda that big of an influence on her or there is something more at work?

Also, I love Dorothy's chibi doddles, they are filled with so much personality.

Aw not even when Sakuya is head over heels for her Meiling can catch a break.

Trailer for the new version of the short film

There is also a kickstarter (that already hit the goal) to add english subtitles to the film plus goodies for backers

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/yorimiyu/yuri-movie-her-kissmy-libido-twinkles

This chapter was a mixed bag for me; on one hand, it's nice that the drama didn't get pointlessly dragged on, but at the same time, it feels like everything was solved way too easily. As someone mentioned earlier, this pretty much cleared 95% of the major plot points we had, so is hard to tell where the story will go now. Furthermore, Frost's backstory was surprisingly straightforward. Again, normally I would be happy with this, but for some reason I feel unsatisfied with the reveals, and given her personality, I doubt she is an unreliable narrator. That said, something odd is definitely happening with her, I'm willing to be that white hair has a larger meaning than just being an albino or her dad losing the fight with recessive genes.

Lastly, Dahlia is about to do something stupid, isn't she?

The covers become less horny and more dramatic as the series progresses tho

And the vol 1 cover got recontextualized when it was reused for the special edition of citrus+ vol 1

Funnily enough, if you go back and re-read the final chapter episode of citrus, it can be argued that Yuzu and Mei did fuck offscreen.

Ah, so she meant the climax of the current arc. Thanks

Nekotarou posted some cryptic tweets while asking people to vote for the series on a popularity poll.

You can vote until noon tomorrow! Please support this work as the story moves towards its climax...!

We've started to get to the heart of the matter, but it's not over yet...!! Don't worry about that...!! The real story begins once we understand the heart of the matter...!!

So we're reaching the climax, but the story is just beginning?

What

That Yuzu felt a jealousy jealousy only shows her insecurity and that she has not matured, but the most important thing is the lack of communication with her partner.

Exactly, that is precisely the point of the scene.

" are no silent masses in Citrus+," you just have to enter several pages and yuri theme forums, Citrus+ is not in your prime. That does not mean that I have no sales, I buy each volume that It comes out in my country and sells internationally Because it is citrus , but that does not mean that there are other Yuris much more commented in certain parts. The problem of Citrus+ is not its periodicity, it is its irregularity and lack of communication and The clear example we have this month where it was reported that there would be chapter and in the end it has not come out

That is what I said, yes, that the problem with citrus in the Spanish fandom is the constant breaks and not the quality of the writing. Also, I don't know where people got that there would be a new chapter this month (or next one) when it wasn't on YH list of contents.

Well Citrus and Citrus+ has more popularity and demand than those series, so naturally a break would be felt more. The schedule is also more irregular--breaks aren't consistent. Those breaks are mostly what I see discussed across the board as well. I don't think the direction has been much of a tangible issue overall outside of some forum complaints (tangible meaning objective measures like sales, circulation, etc.). Here, it's mostly the same people posting, who knows what the silent masses have to say.

You have a point and I assume is related with the weird fixation the fandom has for seeing Yuzu and Mei fucking. I mean sure, it would be nice but I don't think that is something that would add something meaningful to the story as a whole.

What do you think will happen with Arata moving forward? I'm also interested in when this series will end. I'm assuming once this project is over but I could see it going beyond that. Sabu seems to have the freedom from the publication to extend this (or delay this) as long as she wants.

I think Arata is sort of placing Yuzu in Mei's place so I think that he will be inspired by Yuzu and Mei into taking matters with his own hands instead of just blindly following his parents, becoming an actor instead of being a mere spectator, so to speak.

The series is definitely meant to end in their wedding so I believe it will end when Sabu feels she doesn't have anything more to add to Yuzu and Mei's story. We don't have a concrete date for their wedding so it could happen years in the future or just a couple of months. If she decides to continue the series in some shape or form, I imagine it would be a spinoff focusing in Harumin and Matsuri but I think is more likely she will semi-retire. Is clear she is not the fastest artist around and she probably can live comfortably off citrus by now.

Because that's intentional. Arata was introduced as a way to make Yuzu feel truly jealous, and she was just acting out because she didn't know how to deal with those feelings. I'd argue that if the underlying theme in the original story was Mei's personal growth spurred by Yuzu's presence in her life, citrus+ is all about moving Yuzu's character forward.

And at least from the Spanish-speaking side of the fandom, the breaks are the biggest issue people have with the series, weirdly, they don't seem to have an issue with Mahoako, Semalparous or Watayuri's hiatus despite having gone longer without new chapters by this point.

I appreciate how Arata serves as a lens for the Sabu to depict the impact of Yuzu and Mei's relationship, highlighting their personalities and unique style of love through their influence on him. It also gives us insight into their strength as a couple, which gets tied to this school project. The merger feels like that one final test for them both literally and figuratively, so it makes sense that it leads into their marriage timeline-wise. Loved that last page.

I'm still unsure of whether he understands that they're dating or not. That hasn't been clarified right? He says some stuff that leads both ways. I wouldn't be surprised if Mei told him though (maybe even off screen during this chapter?).

Agreed, Arata adds an interesting perspective as an outsider to Mei and Yuzu's relationship while also serving as a foil to Yuzu. And yeah, I think Arata doesn't fully grasp that Mei and Yuzu are actually dating each other and simply assumed they were dating someone else. I still have the inkling that Arata might be gay so this misunderstanding could help his own character arc and thus, mirror Yuzu's perfectly.

Personally I loved this page

It perfectly shows how much Mei loves Yuzu even if she still struggles to show it to Yuzu properly. A far cry of the Mei from the start of the story.

My main problem that there is almost no romance in the serie. In the last 13 years in Citrus life how many kiss happened between Yuzu and Mei? I mean no off screen kisses of course...
I even do not remember on the last one...

The serie should focus on love, romance and drama. Not on the school, work, Arata and other background characters. One episode is ok from them time to time. But a year's worth of episodes?

I want to see why Mei love Yuzu. Really.

Literally three chapters ago, less than a month in-universe

And Yuzu and Mei's romance is intrinsically linked to school and work. Mei opened yo Yuzu because she was the first one that supported her on her dream of succeeding Shou with no strings attached. Mei outright spells it out loud to Arata in the chapter no posted (hopefully yet) here, saying that Yuzu's love is the reason she's able to push forward her plans for the academy.

Arata's goal in the story is to show the change Mei has gone through thanks to Yuzu and to cement her role as the new chairwoman of Aihara

So, when is Alexandra going to have his moment of revelation and realize she has fallen for Diana and has screwed herself over by supporting her attempts to get with Natori?
