At this point I just want Saburouta to get to the wedding part as fast as possible and be done with it.

not be done with it after the wedding, but rather start a sequel, for example College. With the wedding being in the rear view mirror, the entire future plot can be written freely, even a divorce and cheating! Or 3 volumes of Harumatsu.

Yuria is just a fan girl.

ok, I will just write a few things. This new chapter is awesome.

Yuzu finally sexual assaulted Mei, something that she has not done for a long time, and this is a big one as she clearly lost all control. I am really happy seeing that scene. I don't need to see a sex scene, the assault scenes are good enough for me to understand what Yuzu is thinking. Its is not just the assault, but rather the type of assault which sees Yuzu forced it to a confused Mei and prevent Mei from moving and get away.

Somehow she thinks that Mei and Arita are now partners and the jealousy went up the roof.

Mei finally calmed Yuzu by doing a slight slap on her to slap her out of it. She told Yuzu that Yuzu needs to trust her because she is Yuzu's FIANCEE.

Yes, the very first time anybody including them using that word to the two of them. the word "fiancee" made my day. Also, she was not angry at Yuzu. Meis personality definitely is changing bit by bit "better". When asked, Yuzu sometimes will say she is dating Mei. Meanwhile, Mei will not tell anyone about her relationship except a few such as Himeko.

Also remember, when Mei came home from Udogawa, one of the things Yuzu said was "your future is part of my future" (and hence she wanted to restrain herself.)

They are pretty much evolved into an adult couple at this stage. I don't think Yuzu will ever throw a jealousy tantrum or attack anymore, and may even be pals with Arita. What Mei said helped her to regain the strength. Yuzu now can 100% trust Mei again. Remember the abandonment of Yuzu by Mei in the fair? Yuzu refused to stay by herself as if anyplace Mei goes, she will follow. We tend to forget her issues during this manga because they are very subtle.

Some people consider cuddling sex. Especially doing it nakid.

My favorite on going manga. I am on 19. What I like most is probably I want to read a story of romance between adults. The age gap between the two of them are not that far. Manga themes like this is simply rare. When Sena is battling depression, the artist truly drew it like that. When Sena is manic (which in this chapter she is about to do the depression u turn to manic) she is really aggressive in work even if she has no material to work with.She just keep on thinking. Kiku is the nicest adult MC character that I have ever read, and her persona is not unique in real life. But the best character of her is she stay out of drama, she keep quiet, for this chapter, she did not even say a single word to her friends that Sena was actually her partner. She behaved like she was clueless and dumb. ie the neighborhood nice girl who is pretending to be not smart.

I cannot believe it. The artist STILL manages to establish a potential poly relationship. I really thought she could not do that for this manga, the theme was just too different from her past "poly" work. And now this. The only question other than resolving this chapter is, will the next chapter be the final one? Yes, this chapter is a miracle. It is soo good.

Not bad!

Now there is not much to show after blackening it. 17 is in MD, there is no secret. If I find and post 30, thats another matter.
People actually know who I am despite this is one of those manga people seldom if ever read it, or dare to keep reading it. If Princess Daphie does mind, she will let you know and wipe out my comment.
Part of the reason I post is to see if someone else experienced what I or the character did. You can calling this part of a large healing process.

Its amazing that the speed is this slow yet we still follow the chapters without getting bored.

Ch 17
triggered me because I was in his shoes.Regular person would never react to a request like that.

If you have been molested, your inner child stop growing unless there is something that can help you, which are not too much. People usually play with others who have the same inner child age. That means in this case, Asako (or Moroboshi what have you...) psychologically or emotionally or both is the same age as the MC who is still in middle school. Inner child age does not have to be a child; it merely reflex when the inner child stop to grow. Could be 4, 14, 34, 54!!

I'm on MD and hence read it up to 22. The story triggered me a lot, especially 17. Be warned. But keep on reading. I myself am a victim, so it is way too close to home, but I am trying to read it as if for therapy purposes. Keep it slow. If an entire chapter is too triggering, skip it.

If you discount your desire to have a sex scene; Yuzu and Mei actuing about tinally are way ahead of what most of us thought in terms of the relationship. They act as a stable married couple and help each other out if needed. But obviously it also means the daily lives for them can be boring looking from the outside.

But we’re not “looking at their relationship from the outside.” Mei & Yuzu only exist on the pages where we see them. There’s no separate dimension where they’re cuddling up together or holding hands while flirting and giggling. They don’t have deep talks off panel about where they are in their lives and what they want to do in the future. The text we have is all there is.

True, even though they DO cuddling in bed. Some may consider their cuddling not up to sex standard, some consider that is enough sex.

If you discount your desire to have a sex scene; Yuzu and Mei actuing about tinally are way ahead of what most of us thought in terms of the relationship. They act as a stable married couple and help each other out if needed. But obviously it also means the daily lives for them can be boring looking from the outside. Mei is the stereotypical workaholic husband while Yuzu is a part time housewife. It actually is fun to read it once you have that in mind because a couple like that also do things like thinking about the same thing. Another way is Yuzu can read Mei just by body movement, So when Yuzu protest, it looks fun as opposed to looking bad. Yuzu knows the answer is no already, but asked anyway. That is a fun thing to do for a married couple or long term partner. Mei also do things that usually a married person would do. For example, trying to buy a birthday gift after consulting Himeko and then assisted by Matsuri. Purchased the gift in the middle of the night, that is dedication indeed. It is quite obvious that she has never attended a birthday party, as celebrants, birthday girl, or guest, it show how far she is from normal societal customs, when the idea of birthday gift does not seem to exist for her social class.
The new boy is going to be a great fun character that the series is sorely needed. Whether he has a crush on yuzu, or he being gay, either way it will be fine and funny. I mean, he hang out with Himeko....a boy following a lolita?

To be honest if my best friends kiss me without any warning, I;m still ok with it. The worst situation to me would be me being kissed by an intoxicated friend. It actually would be a good vibe. But then I myself live in an environment that romantic love tongue kisses are acceptable as something plutonic, or as samples of pure joy, slapping is alien to me. I do not care whether the kisser is male or female, being kissed to me is always a good thing. It does not have to be mouth to mouth, but mouth to mouth is better. Ruriko definitely has some serious issues going on.

I cannot believe that I like this manga. A Yuri Vampire one. Usually the ending is so cheezy. Same for this but somehow when I read it it feels very different.

For whatever reason it is, I totally lost interest in the entire manga series after only a few panels in 21. I do not like the plot in the first place, and now the plot is worse in 21 22. I try to understand it as if it were a comedy, but I cannot find anything that is funny with the plot. It is not a black comedy either. The story is not-believable.From 21 to 22 it feels cheesy.

People may like the plot concerning the church, but it is totally made no sense if you do some super light research. The artist does not understand how a church is run; should have spent some really good amount of time to learn the materials so the plot will be OK. Now the deeper the artist try to dig, the worse the plot will get. Rose is not a convincing character. Plenty of logical wrong.
If the church really is concerned about Benika's father, they should have him transported to any monastery secretly under the direct instruction of a bishop, and move to a new monastery every month. In fact, move to a convent would even be better, since he can be literally disappeared by receiving a Vatican passport or something similar. To continuing letting him stay in his own church is absolutely insane. There should be no discussion, straight to another country's convent, and then ship Benika to another country's boarding school (for boys). Switching the gender makes it a bit even more secretive because nobody will look for a teenage girl in a place full of young adult priest or monks.

This series has just got the AXE. It ends on chapter 19 I believe. Just read the official twitter and manga authors accounts. This is an alarming trend when it comes to... certain types of Yuri. I hope that it's just a coincidence.

I believe the newest update was chapter 19, but the author plans on it ending in 2 more chapters (chapter 21.) It was reported to end on chapter 20, but the author tweeted to clear it up.

One more chapter to go, but to feel safe she wants to have a 2 chapters deadline. Hence #20 and then #21.

Yuzu you have nothing to worry about Mei is head over heels for you just as much as you are for her.

Sure, we know that they will eventually get married, so Mei must be in love with Yuzu, but if we didn’t have that foreknowledge, what can we see in this or in recent chapters that says “Mei is crazy about Yuzu”?

This scene to me epitomizes just how crazy in love these two are:

https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/citrus_september_26th#35

June 16th Part 1. Board meeting Mei outted herself, then indirectly indicated that Yuzu is the partner which Yuzu was more than happy to confirm to the entire school board. Notice that rumors have already started by that point.
June 16th Part 2. Mei explains to Yuzu she needs extra time and space to do everything now because they are now a couple and thus need to go over a lot of things, such as re-learn the relationship or how a long term couple behaves. This is not about doing things differently. but rather doing things with a fresh new motive. I find all these things done by Mei in Plus make a lot of sense because this is for a long term process. I feel she really wanted to finish all these tasks just to buy time to spend it with Yuzu. While Yuzu is a typical girl and do what a person who wants to date do, Mei has no such needs to go anywhere. All she wants is with Yuzu around her. Finally, Mei handed over the student council president title to a underclassman. She is that far ahead when it comes to planing. The quicker the training of the new student, the quicker she can finish the inter-school project with Arata, and finally will have lots of time to spare just in case something goes wrong. For example, spend more time with Yuzu to tutor her in case Yuzu fell apart academically. I was surprised that it was not Sayaka or miyabi who got the job, but someone else. But I think Mei knows what she is doing, Sayaka, if picked, would be the third student president tyrant in a roll. It might worked if nothing changes, but I highly doubted Sayaka can handle the job. Her temper is way too hot still.

The marriage proposal changes a lot of thing.
For Mei, because of her upbringing and background, immediately start doing things frequently with Yuzu in mind, as if Yuzu is her wife and secretary. (which means it is totally normal for Mei to NOT carry a phone). Mei sees things very far ahead. To the point that nobody else understand what she is planning. Visiting Arata is extremely important, because the days of single sex high school is slowly going away. So a all girl school to be the partner of an all boys school will ensure survivals of both schools. It was stated very clearly that Arata's family has serious difficulty NOT to run out of business. In some (real life) scenario, Many same sex school also send their students to the opposite sex school to be in a class that most girls are not interested, or alternatively, have the boys come on over to take Home-Eco classes. What Mei did was she realized sooner or later, if she does nothing, all these high end schools will go out of business soon enough. Allowing students who have excellent talent to stay plus being able to not be bound by the school rules too much is a way to recruit from a different target, a target which all the public schools already have it. For example, Mei's school has no idol group. All it takes to make Aihara super famous will be to accept idol students, give them special treatment based on their school and work schedule, and hope that when they graduate they are already becoming super popular which makes Aihara famous.

Sex. If you really want the full blown sex (3rd base and beyond), then I have to say it is not going to happen unless something unusual started in the plot. They are actually pretty much close to having sex but without doing it. They usually just wear a Yuzubocchi T shirt to bed (which means they are really practically naked, or think of them as wearing nothing except their bras.), and Mei is usually the one who snuggle up with Yuzu. Neither of them seem to be super horny in bed. Also, recalled that they DID almost reach third base by an inch, using the chairman office, or you can argue that it happened in Grandpa's house. Anyway, I think we need to toss out sex as a topic when we continue to read it. There are plenty of 18 years old out in real life there who do not even understand what sex is, and now we are complaining that the two MCs do not have sex?
We have to remember sex is one of their problems. Mei has a record of being sexually harrassed and assaults thanks to Amamiya, to the point that she will initiate sex with completely wrong motives. Everytime she visits the library, if you pay enough attention, it is always the "Introduction to Love" book. You cannot blame her for doing nothing. Then we have Yuzu whose idea about sex is all inside the mangas she bought,.

Nothing is going to happen in a serious manner until Arata starts to do something, and it will not "involve" Mei.
1. Arata got along very well with Yuzu. Yes, there is some small degree of jealousy from Yuzu, but Yuzu knows "business is business" so she welcome the friendship with open arms because eventually it will bear fruit. Helping out Mei, either at school or in the outside world of society, have been her prime motive since Mei accepted the proposal.

1. Himeko was friends with Arata in middle school, and unlike Mei, Arata does have a friendship relationship with Himeko.

Just a guess, maybe Arata bats for the other team.

Holding hands in public with teammates while in school or gym uniform will not cause problems. The problem comes when you are in street clothes holding hands, and become older like 18.

I am at 19. Story is still growing strong and there is no sign of seeing any axe around.

They went on a date. On Kiku's birthday, Sena bought Kiku's flowers. During dinner Sena CONFESSED to Kiku with no condition at all. Kiku broke down and cried. Also, Sena remembers how old is Kiku, so that makes the birthday congratulation - date - confession even more important
The manga is at the correct speed. Everything that is important was finished. Mei can draw whatever she wants until the axe comes. But unlike others, she has already covered everything. There is no frantic last minutes outpouring of ideas onto the manga here at 19, you would not have guessed that it will stop at 19. I myself will find if it ends on 19 it will wasted an big opportunity. These two MC are the closest lesbian couple that I have ever seen in comparison to the real life ones. That by itself is significant.
So all the work that Kiku did for Sena finally bares fruit. Good for her, she needed it. If you think about it, Kiku has no social life, and having a committed relationship with Sena will really help her. As for Sena, enjoy your non-depression days, because you will need it, especially now you are part of a couple.

Now begins the arc where Nanase tries to win Yuni again!
Or maybe the arc where Yuni tries to win Nanase again? It's all so tangled at this point, I don't know what's what anymore...
Maybe the arc where Fuuko turns Yuni, Nanase and Yuki into her harem? I'd totally buy that.

Given her track record, the result of ending the manga as a harem is pretty strong. The least is a triangle with one girl being the main while the other two are not lovers. But that is a tall order for Yuni to do. Lack of brain cells. Yuni would do what Fuu told her to do anyway, so I think the stage has been set that the manga will end with two independent couples.

I think deep inside me wants Yuni to go back with Nanase, while having relationship with Fuuko. Meanwhile Nanase has Yuki on her side. So everyone will be happy.

If Yuni's biggest problem is being lonely, then that is what Fuuko is for, as the side chick. I also do not understand why going to Osaka is a big deal because Yuni can attend all the home games if she wants, Most school clubs have a manager position, there is no reason why Nanase does not pull Yuni into such the job, Then Yuni can spend all the time with Nanase, and at the same time, Yuki will no longer be bottom of the pile and actually play ball as opposed to running errands for the club.

One way or another, Fuuko wins. She just concentrates on what she wants and needs, gathers all info, and then starts her operation carefully so that Yuni has no choice but to comply. If done right ,it will be Fuuko having three lovers in a harem settings.

Yuni was the one who initiates sex, Fuu never did state that sex is a requirement for the trip. So this is all on Yuni. It was a bad idea to go to Osaka and put all your trust on Fuuko. At least make sure you have the train ticket with you physically before leaving for Osaka. I do not quite understand why Yuni did Nanase way at the beginning to not address what they wants. Once Fuuko figured out who Hinayu is, the game is over.
There is no guarantee that Fuuko will continue the relationship, all it takes is if run into someone better (that's would be like 90% out there). It is a given that Fuuko will get into an elite university, while we do not even know if Yuni can even get into a technical school. Fuuko finance is limited even though she saved a lot of money.
My only complain about this manga is that we do not know about the background of Yuni and Nanase, that will make the story richer in context.
How come at this point, chapter 18, not a final chapter? What is the artist gonna do for chapter 19? An epilogue but about what?

So it takes Arata to call Yuzu to get anything done. Will we have an H scene? There is also a question how Mei responds, you especially she has been pinned down and nowhere to go, by Yuzu who is in a super horny mode. But we all know one cannot judge what Mei feels from the outside, you need to know her inside to figure things out. So now the person who knows her inside out and can read her like a book now become aggressive. But so far at the final panels, Yuzu definitely has lost all the self-restraint she has in regarding to Mei. This actually has never happened before.

I am not that concern about H scenes, all I care is whether it happened or not, as in, if it is off the panel that is fine.
Finally, it is entirely possible that Arata's love target is Yuzu, not Mei.
I do feel a gay vibe from Arata, so let see how it goes.
