wow I almost never thought I'd see the day Citrus ended, yet here we are. What a wild 5 years. congrats we made it everyone.

@Blastaar.

Probably Shou, leaving and coming back from time to time... or a plane shot like we had in the anime as a little private joke from the author.

Thanks. This chapter is less an ending than an ending kit—some assembly required, and you get to choose your own preferred variations.

And we get another reality-warping kiss from Mei—the first one turns Yuzu gay, and the last one alters local laws on same-sex marriage as well as traditional cultural attitudes toward homosexuality AND step-sibling relationships held by anyone within a one-chapter radius.

That’s some kissing right there.

Correction, I did not like the whole story in general >:'(

@Blastaar

Well, Yuzu stated that their marriage would be possible in a near future... so the final scene is a little time-skip... into a future where the marriage is official in Japan (there is a push nowadays and 2020 OG could accelerate the process). It is possible that the spin-off that the author presented as something about Yuzu and Mei daily life and encounters as openly lovers (not yet wives) fills the gap between the two last scenes of the chapters.

I feel a bit disappointed with how it ended. Chapter was rushed af.

Lol it was so bad, Citrus really lives up to its name. It was sappy, felt like there was no emotion, all the events till the end became meaningless. Still can't understand how out of all the amazing yuri manga this became popular. I read this for years so of course it feels weird and kinda sad, i wished for a better ending but Citrus didn't surprise till the end.

I wanted one more Aaaaaangst chapter before the wedding. Oh well, I guess I can read this discussion for things like that.

That was... disappointed...

Aw, Nismy, can’t you leave me with my little Mei-superpower-kiss fantasy? Lol

Otherwise, I might just think about the “Why did Mei change her mind, and what does that say about her as a character and as a person?” question.

And I prefer it the other way.

Man... don't expect too much form that manga...

You know

What bothers me the most is that Yuzu had a very bad time, she is the only character that had a kind of development and even then, she did not get a satisfactory ending for all the sacrifice that she made or represented? Yes she is a fool, yes she always spent her time worried and desperate, she always groped in the dark, but she never gave up and kept on getting married to Mei in the end, which made her admirable, but more nevertheless It does not seem that everything she did was worth it.
I feel that a good comparison with the final Bleach, Saburo Uta had no ideas and only repeated the same plot over and over again until the fans got tired or he felt that he could not continue, half made a final and ended the story.

All right, he or she received the money and the fans guess they will be satisfied.

Looking at Mei: You might deserve happiness, but don't deserve Yuzu

Its good that that they ended up together but are they for real?! this ending was rushed as hell! they even use a time skip! they left a lot of things aside, Meis grandpa, did he really just give up like that? all that drama built fell so wasted now... and Mei even though she finally accepted her feelings, I think she could have done much more with her character, anyway i hope the spin off show us more about the new life Yuzu and Mei have, without any heavy drama..

The most rush ending i have ever seen, so rushed it didn't make any sense. What a big disappointment

I never thought I would live to see this manga ending. Still, this ending feels a bit rushed, they could have extended that ending montage for a couple of chapters, the heroines overcoming a huge challenge should give them a more substantial reward.

Well that was really rushed xD but oh well. No use prolonging it. Idk if i will miss citrus. When it first came out i was really interested and it got steadily worse and worse... but yay happy end. Kind of wish mei would of apologized for being a shit head the entire time

We got one full f**** chapter (pardon) of Yuzu feeling bad, and one full f**** chapter (pardon again) of Yuzu running towards Mei and then we get... this as a last chapter.

Is this the end of the manga ? if its yes then im sooo happy that this happend x3 i hope mei and yuzu an eternal happy love life for ever !!!

The end is kinda rush im agree but at the same time im happy :3 but they could really have continue it more :/

Well, it was rushed but I expected much worse, maybe the spin-off will show us what happened before the marriage, etc.

So all the other yuri schoolgirls in this cast will still marry older businessmen? They were all engaged like Mei if I remember correctly. And grandpa is suddenly okay with everything? Okay then.

A better ending would've been Meitron losing control and Harumin coming from a window blowing off the crazy android head with a shotgun, and take Yuzu saying "The time has come, come with me... We're running out of time and she will recover soon, I must take you to safety"
Yuzu: W- What hell is going on?! Why is this happening, Harumi?!
Harumi: I'm not Harumi... I'm your daughter, Yuzuha.

I actually want this to happen.

Finally, it's over and on such a meh finish

The script for most of the silent panels on pages 21-23 has been found! (Not completely sure of some of these translations)

That's golden. I wouldn't mind seeing an edited version.

Man of the Year MVP right there.

There was speculation about which man will be needed to set the solution in motion. Maybe the fiancé was one of the candidates, behind the dad somewhere, but I'm still utterly disappointed by the implications. If it was the teacher from the beginning of the manga, Yuzu would have been sent away... Two people need to work for a good relationship and that's clearly not what happened, not to mention it just had to be a guy because two girls can't solve any problem on their own, even with a whole group of friends. I get that he's supposed to be a good guy and their friend (although I find him creepy), but this made the whole rushed ending even worse in my eyes.

I don't know what to expect from the spin-off... It would have potential if it left most of Citrus' themes behind, focused more on the solution of everyday problems instead of the forced drama, on more interesting characters, and if maybe someone helped writing it. It seems the main characters remain these two, though. It could complement the story that just ended, finally giving Mei and Yuzu a (deeper?) personality, but after all these volumes it's hard for me to trust the author not to just create more artificial drama with poor (at best) execution. Even its strongest point, the art, suffered at times during these years, and I'd really prefer if Saburouta tried something else (yuri, of course).

Very cute :)
When Mei finally said she love Yuzu :)
Very cute, but not enought for really wet my eye to be honest... Also, the author should have asked to Miki Yoshikawa for some advice about time-skip and wedding... Personally, "Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches" is one of my reference in this field (a het supernatural manga I really recommand! One of the few one that managed to move me to tears).
Here, as everyone said, the wedding was way too rushed...
But, I have to say the happiness in the eyes of Mei at the last page were wonderfull. It was the eye of a person that accepted to go through sadness for the rest of her life, to the point of losing their light, and that finally light up like a newborn star in the darkness of the cosmos before a brighter futur full the happiness that she had previously given up.
Yep, truly wonderfull eyes. :')
