Another thing too Nya-Chan is that Yuzu realized at some point that Mei needs that support and that she also has to be her friend/sister and not just some possible romantic interest. Most romances seem to only focus on the romance and less on meaningful character growth and progression, at least Citrus is one of the few I've come across that identifies this aspect of relationships.
My point exactly. Some people complain that the romance isn't going anywhere fast, but I find it more entertaining to watch the characters grow, rather than hop in the sack and live happily ever after, after a few drama scenes.
That's what I liked too in Prism for example. After the romance started, Megumi realized that it wasn't all there was to it, that she wanted/needed to know and understand Hikaru better. Because that's what love is about if you're serious about it and not just infatuated.
Mei needs to learn to trust others and herself before she can really "accept" Yuzu. And Yuzu needs to understand where Mei comes from and why she reacts the way she does, before she can really help her and see clearly that it's not only infatuation, but a real love.
Ah, I get your point now...with that in mind this work may be one of the best yuri mangas out there, ( along with the ones by my favourite mangakas of course ) I just wonder how things will go, but yes, kudos on not having Mei "fixed" only cos of someone loves her...that'd be unrealistic.
If that is the case, then a long road is ahead for Yuzu and her emotions , as well as Mei who will have to develop the emotions needed . At current , this is almost like a child poking at an animal to see if it's really dead , but it seems like maybe Mei aside from needing the emotions to love , could also be testing Yuzu to see if she is serious or if it might be infatuation .
