Rare pair

Well, shit. I liked the adaptation. I'm sad now.

A citrus artbook appeared on Melonbooks for preorder

Aw, I was expecting werewolves.

That blonde really reminds me of Valkyrie Drive's Mirei

I'm a huge fan of this recent trend of lesbian prostitution stories.

I have to agree with the people that say this came from nowhere and is pretty blatant emotional manipulation to make a bitchy character look better. The tone of the chapter just doesn't fit the rest of the series, is like this is from an entirely different series that got mixed up. And what's up with the reveal that Momo was Kyou's girlfriend and not Hajime's?

Also, maybe is just me but I had a hard time recognizing every character in this chapter, they all looked too similar to me.

And I was just pointing out how is completely false that we've never met these characters before. The rest was just pointing out where we saw them.

And the series has been good about shifting the spotlight between all the main characters to further develop their standing at the wedding, that is what citrus+ is all about, just fill in the blanks between Yuzu's proposal and their marriage from citrus.

It will be funny if Manami and Kana are actually, just like Sayaka,: inside the closet homophobe. Where are the boyfriends if they seemed to be very experienced with boys and ? What sort of excuse was it when they told the reasons of going out in public are testing how sexy they are? Won't you think every time they go out there should be a couple of boy toys around them? They are now seniors of senior high school, also two semesters from graduation, can be anyway between 17 to 19.

I mean

Yuzu having drama about a character we've never met seems a little forced, but it was nice that Mei got to be supportive and interesting for once, so I'll take it. Seriously, though, wasn't this sequel supposed to be pushing other plots? Harumin and Matsuri haven't been updated on in what...over a year? A year and half?

Manami and Kana were literally in the first pages of the series and then appeared again in the latter half of the series and were at Mei and Yuzu's wedding. This side plot is to explain how they went from being homophobic to accepting and supporting Yuzu (and I still think they will end up together).

Anyway, Mei was freaking adorable this chapter and I kind of want one of the strawberries plushies now, they look hilarious,

Iori and Manami's faces had me in stitches

It's really sad they don't interact anymore.

Kinda confused and unsatisfied with the ending, but it was a great manga. I mean I still don't understand why Ice had to commit fucking suicide essentially, and doesn't get to come back. And what's Meme? What happened to X, did she get disintegrated by the power of yuri and die?

What I understood is that yes, X died but her "essence" got reincarnated as Meme, the little girl at the end and Hayate and Honey are making sure she doesn't go off the rails this time.

Of course, I have no idea why only X got reincarnated but Coll Down didn't.

It really shows that sometime had to cut the story short because that was very underwhelming. After all the insanity from the previous chapter, the story ends with a Friendship Talk no Jutsu was a letdown. I do appreciate the happy ending but I dunno, it feels like it was just going through the motions. XX reincarnation being called Meme does make for some unintentional hilarity though.

First, than anything, thank you so much to Dalphie for translating the entire series, it was a fantastic read, and age gap yuri is not that common so I really appreciate it.

That said, I feel the ending was a bit underwhelming and rushed. I think that sato had more planned for Madoromi and the sensei after being brought into the spotlight in the previous chapter. The jump to Kaori and Misumi living together and getting married/proposed is too abrupt if really heartwarming. I would've liked to see more of them dating and living as a couple.

Aw shit, is Sato announcing the final chapter is coming?

The funny thing is, mei already went through the whole "learning to be a good girlfriend" arc in citrus heck even if the conclusion wasn't the best it was a solid arc nonetheless
And after watching mei steping out of her comfort zone triying to be yuzu s ideal partner in citrus, is such a let down watching yuzu spending her birthday by herself despite mei being in the same room, the story is going circles and now is detracting from the main plot

Mei was going through the motions in citrus so no, she wasn't really a good girlfriend there. It was only until the end that she stopped following others and started taking the initiative for herself, that is what plus is expanding upon.

Citrus+ is filling the blanks between Mei breaking her engagement with the restaurant owner and her wedding with Yuzu. And the main focus has been on Mei learning how to be a good girlfriend with the occasional side plots focused on those who were present at the wedding. Personally, I'm not surprised we're getting an arc focused on Manami and Kana since they were quite homophobic the last time we saw them, and then they are at the wedding without making a fuss. Hell, they might even end up together or at the very least be open to the idea of dating a woman if Kana's reaction to Mitsuko is an indication. So there is potential for significant character growth for them.

I'm starting to think she will end up hooking up with the teacher
Also, I never noticed that Misumi was actually well endowed for her age

This is the weirdest bot I've ever seen

I'm glad that the series has unambiguously moved from subtext to text.

Odds Nikaidou-mama walks on them?

I'm not the only one who got to the final page dreading to see a "THE END" note, right?

This series is so cute that I don't want it to end. It could do with more make-out sessions though.

Also, this picture is a reference to an Hologra episode where Choco made chocolates that turned the ones who ate them into Succubus like her
