I have this strange feeling while reading this, like what i felt when I read "Sputnik Sweetheart". Mysterious, philosophical, and a tinge of tragedy/depression.

It was a good read, clearly left a deep impression on the readers, though not very satisfying because, just admit it, everyone loves a happy ending.

It doesn't have to be happy,but at least making some sense..that sibling...that sibling I can't deal with.

Also "I pimp people you see"...ok

I still never got anyone else's opinion on Citrus' speculated length... Thoughts?

I'll bet on some 8-10 volumes. If it's not cut short, of course.

I hope it won't get silly lengthy just cos it's popular... it is? I dunno how is it selling in Japan. But I hope it's no more than 8 volumes... I kinda wanted to buy it when the whole thing was done,as a birthday gift to myself ¬¬

You should watch Seikon no Qwaser, that's probably going to be your most hated anime afterwards. I heard there is a yuri harem in there but I dropped it after the like 7th rape scene in the first 2 minutes. Also, kissing has been replaced by sucking on boobs, apparently.

I solely watched the scenes involving that evil loli from Russia,it got super weird with her BDSM with that woman...one time she does go down on her...you can kinda see it...the evil loli is like.. 10?..it was..weird...I wouldn't watch it for reals :/

Hum.... I don't know, I don't even know what is the fuss with KyoAni what did they ever do to make you people so angry?? I don't even recall what they do at all -sighs-

I loved the scene,yes,love the animation and character design,if it ends up Shouichi what's his face and Kumiko it's gonna suck so hard but based on what everyone says, it's queer bait so.. I would love it for it to end up yurily or close to it hehe,those two...really... It'd be a shame not to.

but we will have to wait and see

Gyah, chapter 16 is amazing! Can't wait to read the Yuri Project translation. Anyone else have a guess on how long Citrus may run? I'm placing my bets on 6 volumes, one final conflict to resolve in volume 5 then wrap-up and some fulfilling relationship stuff for 6. Judging by the story's pace, that should cover one full school year and a happy summer. After that, let's hope for a 12-episode anime +OVA, a Vita game, more drama CDs like the one coming with volume 4's release, and artbooks/OSTs to accompany all that stuff. I wouldn't be hurt by Mei and Yuzu figures to put on my shelf, either. You go, Saburouta!

Now that's setting high hopes. I'd love the anime yes, can't wait for the first CD,and the figures.

People stopped freaking out a while ago, I think.

Did they? I'm so outdated -sighs-

I hate to break the monogatari discussion here, you people made me want to check it out a bit though, but... why is it that people were freaking out so much about Mikagura Gakuen Kumikyouku?? Eruna-chan is still blatantly gay on ep 8...

I want them to fck already <3

Yeah. Tomo died on the way back to her home planet.

Excuse me Miss, where is your avatar image from? It somehow looks familiar and if not it's still cute.

I do hope you are a miss,otherwise,Mr. and pardon for the misunderstanding.

I'm a miss and it's Ushio Kazama from Sasameki Koto.

Ah I knew it was familiar,thank you very much.

Well they both are attacking each other on EVERY SINGLE CHAPTER, one of these days one would get hurt for reals,but I'm guessing Akki missed the eye on purpose ( I can't tell if it did hit the eye or not ) and well...they carry guns and knives and stuff around,wouldn't they be kinda used to it? And yes both have started stuff,like Shou shooting at Akki for Fck sake!!!!!!! it's called Love/Death they may even die while fighting one day,like double homicide instead of double suicide ,all romantic and crap

Awwwwww

So I guess I'm the only one rooting for Harumin and Matsuri..

Nope, I ship it.

Though, maybe Harumin's sister will convince me for for three sister sister ships out of three.

I kinda ship them too, if Matsuri won't chase Yuzu again,haha sorry, I like Matsu and Yuzu for some reason . Damn childhood friends

la la la la date your dead pimp friend little sister whos 20 years younger who may be a pimp too that would be funny if she dies too 2nd times the charm?

Hahahahahahaa and then comes a third sibling...say a lost..half cousin or something and by then Ai is around 80 yo

Well then she just have to write an Age gap sequel. As if.

Pfff xD ,that can work for structural formula of first love but not here, I think this ending has no redemption

Blah blah... long story short, for me, the ending sucked.

"One of the MC is a pimp and goes to die in a faraway place, leaving the other MC mourning and alone for the rest of her life"

Lol?

Don't forget the sibling who looks exactly like the dead pimp

This is getting ridiculous.

Why now? :3

@Rye thanks man. Since this one is mostly focused on recommendations, I'll keep this one up until I get some more recommendations and then when all is done, next time I'll post on your thread for anime-related stuff. posting this on the anime season thread now seems funny since it's here already. :)

@KDN: Ohh Jigoku wasn't my cup of tea. it seemed too fantastical than what I would've preferred. I'll check out pet shop of horrors!

Oh ok well,what about ghost hunt? I like ghost stuff hehe

https://twitter.com/shunitter_ there it is , I wonder if she knows any english

-Thinks hard- Well yes...I don't know why I'm using the 20 years number...then again... if she was depressed and shit wouldn't it be normal she just went and killed herself..but that sister...she has to be around 20 to be in College...so yes it was a damn long time,maybe ai is like 40 xD

We should ask her..ahhh I'm tempted to look for her twitter

More than 40, Tomo already had a little brother so unless that half-sister was born right after him, we can assume more than 20 years passed, Ai could easily be 50, 45 at least, and she don't really look much older than 30, and a half-sister looking exactly like Tomo, like I said before if they had the same mother sure could be possible, but half? is that even possible? I think it's easier to think more or less 10 years passed, and Tomo came back from the dead, since she faked her death...

Hummm I seriously doubt it....I don't think genetics work that way... UNLESS Amano-sensei just wanted to troll us and have us wonder and confused like we are.

Oh yeah, just a warnig about Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon, if anyone ever think about reading it, it's big, like reeeeealy big, bigger than Lord of The Rings, all books that composes the Lord of the Rings amounts to 1178 pages, the second volume of Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon is 1152 pages long, or at least is what TV Tropes says about it...

Aaaand there goes my intent to read it, I love reading but I've got much to watch/read

HEY you do think a lot....hummmm, I do agree I was like... "Hey maybe she faked her death" but...20 years? what kind of idiot is she to make Ai wait and be lonely for so long....if not well...the sister replacement...that's..I don't know..and yes no body was found? Well drowning in the sea makes it hard to be found I think.

I did consider she wanted to troll us all as well ,just cos she can.
The pimp thing...well...if she had depression she didn't wanna work right? so pimping is easy no?
xD
I just can't think anymore

Did they ever say it was 20 years? it never say anything about how long have passed, the only thing we have to measure time is the supposedly half-sister, and even if Ai aged like wine, she looks what, 30 years old at best? Really I'm not buying this bullshit that Tomo died and Ai stayed single for more than 20 years... (-3-)

I say we should demand a explanation from Amano. \ ( `A´ ) /

-Thinks hard- Well yes...I don't know why I'm using the 20 years number...then again... if she was depressed and shit wouldn't it be normal she just went and killed herself..but that sister...she has to be around 20 to be in College...so yes it was a damn long time,maybe ai is like 40 xD

We should ask her..ahhh I'm tempted to look for her twitter

I don't know what to think about this anymore, like Gale said if we assume Tomo was chronically depressed the story do makes a lot more sense, but the way it endend...

Can we really be sure that's not Tomo in the end? She being a pimp came out of nowhere, then she died and they never found the body, and years later a half-sister dressed like her, using the same type of glasses and that looks like a version a little older than her shows up, if they had the same mother it would be really unlikely but they could look the same, but is that even possible with half-siblings? Anyone who knows about genetics could give their opinion about this? At least I think she looks a little older than Tomo looked, japanese womans sometimes do age very well and Ai don't really look that much older either, can we really discard the possibility that she's really not Tomo? We don't know exactly how much years have passed, and did Amano ever made a story where the characters didn't get together? Did she ever made a bad end? I don't know but I find it really unlikely that Amano would really kill Tomo and Ai would stay single for years, and then she would meet Tomo half-sister and maybe start a relationship with her, and that "half-sister" in their first meet said Ai was beautiful, said she had a older sister that disappeared, not that she died, and ask if she didn't want to have some tea, after all the plot twists and the way the story progressed in this chapter, I'm the only one that find it all really suspicious? I'm the only one that think that she can really be Tomo?

There's also the fact that she did The Feelings We All Must Endure between chapters and the one year gap between chapter 5 and 6, since she tried to make a more philosophical story but stoped to make a more realistic story with The Feelings We All Must Endure, I think she didn't know how to continue Philosophia anymore, sure The Feelings We All Must Endure is not her best work, but would she write something like this if she really didn't want to make it like this? I'm not sure this was really bad writing, I think she didn't know how to continue the philosophical aspect of the story and just started to mock and taunt us with the way chapter 6 was, like with the plost twist of Tomo being a pimp and dying offscreen, It's just me or that was not really bad writing but just trolling? She wouldn't be the first creator to troll their fans....

Anyone have Amano twitter? Can't someone just ask her about the ending? Cause I don't have any fucking idea of what I should think about it anymore, I mean, did she really die? Did she fake her death? Was this really bad writring? Or she's just trolling us? Is it both? Is it none? I think something is breaking inside me...

HEY you do think a lot....hummmm, I do agree I was like... "Hey maybe she faked her death" but...20 years? what kind of idiot is she to make Ai wait and be lonely for so long....if not well...the sister replacement...that's..I don't know..and yes no body was found?

Man... That was some intense feels! I had read about the ending, but I forgot about what happened to Tomo from when I read those spoilers... That was rough...

Nobody does painful quite like Amano. If you are looking for happy go lucky love stories, just run away when you see her name as the mangaka! But sometimes those are good too... Feelings was at least a semi-happy ending, though the why of it was hard to fathom... This one is pretty much pure pain. Not that it wasn't good.

I beg to disagree she has awesomely sweet works,it's clear you haven't read :
sweet guilty love bites
yukemuri sanctuary
not for sale
dream at dawn
sweet examination
encore
sweet exercise

:3

Oh yes Psycho pass <3

jigoku shoujo
pet shop of horrors

Ooooooo how so many people here are gonna backpedal SO FAST when the next chapter's scan is released.

Not commenting further on that.

-grins- Yep
