I really, really liked this one. After I found out it was drawn by the same mangaka as the one who did Riko & Haru & Irukawa Hot Springs, a huge light bulb lit up. The dynamic that Luka and Miku had in here really resembled Riko and Haru's relationship. Not a bad thing since I am a sucker for the hyper, mischievous type X tsundere. Luka also looks similar to Haru here too haha.

I like others who have stated, also prefer Miku's personality here over the more common bubbly, innocent one. It's still good, but this is better :3

Despite the kinkyness and turn off of how Sakurako treats Himawari, I really like this one and always look forward to the updates. I can't totally blame Sakurako's attitude since it's really in character and it's just the nature of their relationship. I can let it slide since Himawari does eventually punish Sakurako so it's not complete mindbreak/rapey like. I just see it as their sort of kink haha. Also that is an awesome older sister. I like how she is presented here. The sisters came across as pretty mean in the series.

Agh such slow, short, teasing chapters D:

Love this series. Looking forward to more! I get depressed by the length of each chapter though :(

I liked this one shot. You don't really see a story about the leads not getting together for the simple reason of just not being attracted to each other. I liked how the blonde also took back the whole "Is it because I'm a woman?" excuse too. Great story :)

When I saw this thread, I knew I had to read it since I've read so much manga here, it's hard to remember them, so thank you in advance for reminding me to reread some of the series/oneshots mentioned!

Most recently I reread Prism, Octave and Strawberry Shake Sweet. I also reread a lot of the works from Otsu Hiyori, Amano Shuninta, Amagakure Gido and Morishima Akiko. I've been rereading works under the adult life, idol, roommate and college tags haha. Blank and Blank Continued by Yotsuhara Furiko are also some of my favorites and I reread those two a lot too. I'll probably visit all the ones I mentioned again in the near future....

Just reread this again for the second time in it's entirety and I love it even more than the first time. I first read it when it was updating, sooo like 4 years ago, and man does it have a different effect on me now. Back then, I really disliked Yukino. I thought she was pathetic and whiny. Stupid for hurting Setsuko like she did many times. I did end up liking her at the end after she started growing up.

This second time though. Man, I can really say that I'm really fond of Yukino now. I like her so much as a character it's ridiculous. I saw so much of myself in her that I'm ashamed. It's pretty hard to admit you are pathetic haha. So many years have passed since I last read it, and I've experienced so many more things, I was able to empathize with her. Being back in college was so easy going. I thought I knew where my life was headed and had no regrets, so I couldn't understand Yukino's life. After graduating, man, there are so many times I felt hopeless and felt like I was going nowhere, but didn't have the courage to pursue my dreams; didn't (still don't) know what I'm doing with my life; making excuses for why I failed miserably on many things...I cheered for her in every chapter now. Plus all the problems with being in a lesbian relationship reflected a lot of my own worries. Gah my heart...There's too many feelings.

Ah this just ended up being a gushing rant, but I can't express my love for this manga enough. It's inspired me again and I'll try to fix up my own life like Yukino started to do for hers.

that backstory.....
there goes my yuri.
hate bi.

Yeesh, what's up with all this biphobia. A backstory guy does not destroy all chances of yuri.... Remember this is back in high school. I think they said senpai was 25 now so that makes it like 7 years ago...

Agh I adore them. Enough subtext to keep me happy. Like everyone, I too am sad he stopped Prism. I just reread it again and it made me sad. He does such a good job at creating real relationships. There's a relaxing feeling I get when I read them. The pacing is so mellow and easy going. I look forward to more of these two.

Ugh these two are too cute. I always look forward to these chapters. They make me crave for more. I like getting to know the background of the characters so it was really nice to see Takako's. Also, I'm not surprised that Shinobou didn't recognize Takako after she changed her hair haha. It's pretty different and hair basically defines how someone looks in anime/manga lol.

Omg can we be friends? Sorry it's just the first time I've seen someone (besides my sister) say SAO was terrible even though it is so popular.

Of course we can. But you should know it's pretty well established in most circles of the internet that SAO awful.

Seriously?? Where have you heard this? Most people I run into say it was great. I haven't watched it yet myself because I missed it when it was released. I read up plot synopsis...es (SP???) and reviews and the stuff I read really turned me off. I suppose it's good to not watch it then?

Haha I must be in the wrong circles then because most comments I've come across sang praises. It had a good start and good ideas, but again executed poorly and pacing also bad for me (don't know if you can tell, but I look a lot into the pacing of a story lol). Also sick and tired of reducing strong female characters like Asuna into weak ones that depend on the male lead (Kirito) to save the day.

Honestly I don't know why the hell I'm reading something as bad as this. Ok that's a lie, I do know why and it's because I just want to see the two hot characters make out and have a happy ending. The problem I have with Citrus, is the storytelling. There are good ideas and themes, but it's executed so poorly. The pacing is so whacked up that most of the time I end up finishing a chapter going "What the hell did I just read?"
Sorry mate the problem is in yours, not the manga.

If you watched this to see two hot pseudo-sisters making out. But then you were distracted by things like story or pacing. Then you have done it wrong!!

My case for example. Do i care about Mei's stupid father and his role in shaping Mei's character? Hell no!! I will take teenager's complicated hormone as an answer instead of 'abandoning-by-father-turning-you-into-a-kiss-machine cooldere' thingy that the author tried to pass to us. But it won't be matter. This chapter we see an almost-broken Mei begging for sex. Followed by hot and steamy touchy. Then things ended with a hot make-out and some romantic plot development. 10/10. A good plot/ storyline would have distracted me from all that :P

Haha I can do that if I'm reading something purely for the pornz, but the author intended there to be a story so I have to take it at face value and judge everything we are given. Besides, there are hentais that have executed a better storyline than this so that's no excuse to slack on half assed attempts at a cohesive story. But considering how popular this series is, its formula is (unfortunately) working out pretty well for most of the population...

But! I do have to say I really liked the ending kiss of this chapter. Finally a kiss that meant something and was of consent from both parties! That is what I'm still reading this for lol. I just want a happy ending ;_;

Thus the popularity of things like Twilight, Sword Art Online, and the likes.

The problem I have with Citrus, is the storytelling. There are good ideas and themes, but it's executed so poorly. The pacing is so whacked up that most of the time I end up finishing a chapter going "What the hell did I just read?" For example, the last two pages of chapter 8 came out of nowhere without any fade in or outs that I had to do a double take to make sure I was reading the same manga. I sorta thought it was a preview for another manga lol.

Anyway, I'm pretty ashamed that I look forward to this series, but what can I say? It's a guilty pleasure for me haha. In it for pretty shallow reasons...It's just a shame that the pacing could be better and I hope the mangaka tones down the sexual harassment to none at all. Sexual harassment does not all of a sudden become acceptable or sexy just because they're both girls. And we should not be "used to it" just because it's a common theme in manga. >_> 'side eyes some commenter who mentioned something along these lines in a previous comment'

I really liked this one. I thought the sister angle it took was really refreshing and it pretty much perfectly summarized a sisterly relationship XD. I'd like to see a sequel from Aki or Kuga's POV.

Can't you all see that Mei is just using Yuzu as a rebound to get over her father complex!? Likes to keep it in the family.... :D

And it's not Citrus without all that sexual harassment! Was waiting for something like that to happen in this chapter...lol

Thank you Yuri Project for all the work you guys did to get this chapter out so fast :)
