I think it is interesting to compare this sequel series with the sequel to Kase-San
While one is set in college and has the two main characters go through some new challenges and experiences trying to navigate this brand new environment (while admittedly retreading some familiar territory)
They are older and so is their relationship
The other feels kind of stagnant and lacks that drama and stakes that made Citrus such a juicy read that I couldn't put down. I mean, we spent how many chapters with the big question of what to do for Yuzu's birthday?
It is also still set in this never changing high school world and it feels like in some ways that these characters have regressed instead of moved forwards.
