What about the plot would make you think that Mei is pregnant?

The plot.

I mean…
She left for a whole year, it's nine months of gestation, she could practically have given birth.

Well, I’m not sure of your timeline, but even so, given what we know about uptight Mei and her easygoing fiancé (who reminds her that she’s still a high school student), I think the chances that the two of them have had unprotected premarital sex are very low.

Very, very low.

(These aren’t a couple of crazy kids in love who can’t keep their hands off each other, after all—we’ve seen what that looks like in this story.)

And the chances that Mei has had unprotected premarital sex with a male other than her fiancé are nonexistent.

Now, a random science baby from some unknown origin for Mei would liven up the final chapter considerably. But I doubt if we’re going to get that lucky.

It is not as if Mei was still a virgin, she already knows what it is to be with a man and having descendants is part of her responsibility as heir to the Aihara family, that is why she got married in the first place.

I . . . um . . . I got nothin’.

Someone else will have to take it from here.

That's a lot of arbitrary asspulls for one post. : |

Is Mei pregnant?

This question here is why Sabu is either a genius mangaka, or a disaster.

One chapter before the end and people are asking if Mei has had unprotected sex with Udagawa. Nobody knows who Mei is. Holy f.

I think that theory is crazy af but just to imagine it as the final chapter is so funny, like ... oh my God, it would be catastrophic writing

Can you imagine, if that's why she decided to hurry up the wedding? Yuzu's face lmao
Well, if Sabu pairs that up with Matsuri then pushing Gramps down the stairs upon receiving the news of Mei's pregnancy, I'm down.

Then Shirapon’s yakuza crew bursts in . . .

Inspiration for the scene (except in this case the yakuza are there to kill Udagawa's family, Udagawa and Gramps). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Upwg6JMtyCg

The point of the timeskip was to show that Yuzu and Mei are still in love even after months of being apart. Also, to have Matsuri attend the academy post-time skip in order for her plan to sneak into the Udagawa mansion to work, since it required Matsuri to be wearing an Aihara Academy uniform.

I'd also like to point out that Udagawa thinks of Mei as still being a child, since he wants to put their arranged marriage off so she can finish school and graduate before Mei is forced into any kind of commitment.

And Mei's goal isn't to have a baby, it's to take over the academy and run it.

Add in the fact that chapter 41 seems to be the final chapter based on the Yuri Hime magazine preview, and it's very unlikely such a drama would be introduced in the finale. The author constantly mentions Yuzu and Mei's happy future together as a couple in her author notes for the volumes, so the story will obviously end on a very happy note for them.

Meibot: I am currently creating a smaller unit

Yuzu: It's fine, we will raise it together :')

The End

Sorry if someone has already asked this question and had it answered.

I was under the impression that Citrus was going to go for 50 odd chapters. Does anyone know why the sudden (or at least I'm assuming sudden) change?

Citrus having 50+ chapters was only a rumor. What happened was a new fan read the series on a certain manga site that counted the volume bonus chapters in the chapter count. Then that person spread the misinformation that Citrus would be over 50 main chapters long since they didn't realize the volume bonus chapters were being counted in the total.

This has become a fairly widespread rumor since it was spread around on social media so much, so I'm expecting quite a bit of shock once chapter 41 comes out.

Is Mei a trap?

Y-Yuzu?

The adaptation was already a warning, like for previous series of the magazine, the anime adaptation's purpose was to promote the last volumes. And the volumes are a top seller for the editor. Citrus, after Yuru Yuri is their series that sells the best in tankobon format. They earned new readers after the anime attracted by the series, so very unlikely that it is ending cause of the wedding being a drama not appreciated.

That makes no damn sense, investing in an anime just to promote a single volume is the dumbest thing I have heard yet. You would expect them to use it to promote several more volumes, not just a single one.

Yuri Hime did the same thing with Love to Lie Angle and NTR. Released anime adaptations just shortly before the series were planned to end.

I'm almost glad that this is ending at first this one was entertaining but now I rage when I see Mei's stupid face, she does not deserve Yuzu I hate characters that get the happy ending without doing shit to achieve it, wish Yuzu ended up with Harumin(best girl), I feel like nene wishing for the impossible.

A story's climax isnt usually at the very end. There is usually a wind down period after showing the effects of the climax. Her stating there is the climax means nothing about when it would actually end.

That's not how Yuri Hime uses the word climax in relation to its previews. The word climax means the final chapter of a series as far as the magazine is concerned for the monthly preview.

Totally agree.

~40 pages will be not enough for a proper (and Happy) ending. Except in only one case: a twist!
Mei is not reciprocate Yuzu's feeling, and marry this guy. Inherit the School which is her greates wish and dream.
Time lapse... see Yuzu walking with Harumin hand by hand and later a kiss.

The HaruYuzu shippers be like: https://goo.gl/images/cdJByA

Maybe this is just me rationalizing my previous attitude about a series that I once liked pretty much (even though I also thought it was kinda silly and flawed in construction), and where I was really rooting for the characters to be happy.

But in all my time in reading manga/comics, I've never had a stronger sense (for all the reasons we've discussed at length here) that the story the author thinks she's telling isn't the story she's actually telling. (Again, this is assuming that there is a happy ending and that there isn't some super-ninja-mangaka move coming up.)

noir66: I think we're gonna need a bigger twist than that. My current version involves Mei actually being the witch Yuko from xxxHolic in disguise, and the entire series is the required payment for a wish Yuzu had come true.
