Again, I'm legit baffled at how you guys keep seeing Mei as cold, uncaring, and pushing Yuzu away, leaving her to do everything for their relationship when just in this chapter we had Mei openly address Yuzu's concerns and telling her everything about the Akamine business. We also had her going out of her way to find Yuzu a present in previous chapters.

The old Mei would've never been this open with Yuzu and she would instead use those showings of physical affection to make up for her shortcomings.

That's a lot of extrapolation from what people have said and gets at the same thing noted previously: we are told Mei cares, and yes, she is open about what she's doing rather than deflecting like she used to, but in all of these new instances Mei is portrayed with an almost monk-like stoicism. The old Mei was vibrant and alive, which is very clear by comparing the old chapters to the new ones, even in the less dramatic arcs I listed. I still enjoy Citrus, but it's very weird that Mei's character growth of being a better communicator is paired with a lack of affect.

I do still need to give this arc another chance for yuri. It's only been a few chapters, it just feels longer because it's been over a year and a half since yuri was driving the plot.

Again, I'm legit baffled at how you guys keep seeing Mei as cold, uncaring, and pushing Yuzu away, leaving her to do everything for their relationship when just in this chapter we had Mei openly address Yuzu's concerns and telling her everything about the Akamine business.

This is a complete misstatement of the literal events of the chapter:

• "we had Mei openly address Yuzu's concerns": Mei actually just says she would prefer that Yuzu didn't feel the way she does, and then she gives Yuzu permission to talk to Arata.

• "telling her everything about the Akamine business": Yuzu is the one who stumbles on the truth about the Akamine plan. Mei simply confirming something that she could no longer hide is hardly "telling [Yuzu] everything."

This is the same Mei, who, when Yuzu pushed her down on the bed and kissed her because she was worried about Mei's connection to Arata, slapped the shit out of her.

That's also the chapter in which Mei warns Yuzu that her insecurities could potentially cause problems for Mei's plans, and which ends with a classic "opponents back-to-back" panel where Mei says, "I must do everything in my power to see these plans to fruition."

(If this were a slightly different kind of manga, that would be the villain saying, "And if anyone, even Yuzu, gets in my way, I will crush them.")

We also had her going out of her way to find Yuzu a present in previous chapters.

Wow, what an amazing sign of devotion between people in a relationship.

I just really don't like the vibe of that dude

I really don't like the vibe of that guy, I can't seem to bring myself to give a fuck about him

I really don't like the vibe of that guy, I can't seem to bring myself to give a fuck about him

He seems fine but I suspect there's another purpose to him for this arc and maybe that lingering uncertainty is what you're picking up on?

btw leaving aside the horrible characterization of mei does anybody actually cared for the big revelation of the chapter i.e. mei buying the other school, like there´s even a point to that. Heck what´s exactly the point of this arc at all cuz clearly developing mei and yuzu relationship aint it chief

yasss let's act like Saburouta is a writer and thinks about stuff like 'arcs' as if she just doesn't keep introducing new characters and throwing them to the side the second she can't come up with what to do next with them.
sorry, i've been following Citrus since the first chapter and I just grew TIRED of this

I decided to reread and catch up on this series after a few years, and this was my first time going through the comments. It’s been…fascinating…seeing the different reactions people have had to the story and characters over the years(especially Mei, god damn).

I’ll admit that I’m mainly here for Harumi and Matsuri at this point, and it was nice to see that they’ve both - together and individually - had a whole few pages worth of almost-not-really development since my last visit. Can’t wait for their dedicated arc that I’m sure will happen any decade now.

Mei seems to be the main source of discourse around here, and I can see why. Personally, my opinion of her since I started rereading this series has evolved from ‘Please learn to identify and communicate your feelings’ to ‘…are you even capable of looking happy?’. I know Mei loves Yuzu, but her constant deadpan and aloofness - especially when put in contrast to Yuzu’s sunny-puppy smiling affection - does give off a slight impression of…disinterest; even though I know that isn’t the case. I do think she’s made some progress with her actions(such as buying Yuzu a gift and inviting her on a date), I just wish that her expressions - things like smiling, initiating physical affection, or just looking somewhat more happy and content around her girlfriend - were a more noticeable point of improvement for her at this point in their relationship. Being stoic is one thing, but Mei is another entirely.

As far as sex goes, I don’t really care if they actually have it or not; I’d just like for the topic of sex to be brought up between them. They’ve both been overtly lustful for each other since pretty early on in the series, and they’ve been sleeping in their own room on the same bed for quite a while now. Whatever their decision is, I just want to see them sit down and address the obvious sexual tension between them that - as far as I can tell - has been going completely unsatiated and unaddressed this entire time.

Overall though, I’ve had a good time catching up with the series and reading the comments here(not gonna lie, Meibot comments cracked me up more than I would have ever thought). I’m not sure when I’ll check in again, but I’m looking forward to it.

Man, and people think citrus has slowed down. The special edition of volume 6 is having a second run because of how fast it sold out

And it sold out the same day it went for preorder, no less

People think it's slowed down? I know people tend to assume things they don't like aren't doing well. I just want the next chapter!

Slow down in terms of actual chapters we get those last months, not in term of popularity. Context is important

Well I'm only responding to the other comment which was discussing popularity. That was the context of the discussion--talking about sales etc. I do remember some on here who were recently wondering if the series did fall off in sales and popularity though. So it's not as though it hasn't been discussed here recently anyway.

for allusions. Please be patient because my native language is not English and it is difficult for me to express myself. At no point did I say that the anger of Yurihime magazine was due to low sales, I simply echoed a previous comment and the data is there, announcements of chapters that did not come out, chapters that came out unfinished, and breaks in the work without No explanation. Regarding "popularity" I am referring to the little activity in forums like this one (dynasty), Twitter, Facebook, and even YouTube, comparing it to the great activity that there was when citrus+ started, and that is undeniable. I love citrus with all my heart but that doesn't mean that if I don't like the way the story is being handled, I say so (and there are not a few of us), always respecting the opinion the opinion of people who find citrus+ wonderful at the moment . He concluded, truly happy, that the special edition of vol 6 has been sold out, and I hope that 2 and 3 are sold out, but that doesn't mean anything, nor is it what I was referring to, I will be one of the first to When vol 6 comes out in my country, go run and buy it.

Your English is fine. No worries there. Here's hoping we don't have the same wait until next chapter.

Boy, China really like citrus

The limited edition of vol 6 includes a 18-page booklet depicting a day in the life of Yuzu and Mei. Is just a series of pinups with no dialogue but is pretty cute. The extra is a small scene between Sayaka and Miyabi.

And lastly, Sabu's afterword has her (according to the spanish translation at least) very excited about new experiences that she has gone through that have "stirred new feelings on her" that she will use to continue bringing happiness to Yuzu and Mei. So there will be citrus for a while.

The pinups, without the "small scene" are up on mangadex. They are very cute. Snapshots of a day in their life. Yuzu and Mei being affectionate in small ways, the sort of thing I feel we've been starved of in the main series.

Also, Mei takes naps in school! How scandalous.

I really liked Yuzu and Mei's pinups and the only criticism I can make is that I would have liked it to have been a chapter with their text, for me it would have been a 10 but I'm not complaining.What surprised me is the extra chapter for Sayaka and Miyabi, is there another arc coming for them? In my case I have already said it many times, Sayaka and Miyabi are two characters that I don't care about. and to conclude, what I said in previous comments, harumin and matsuri forgotten

Stuff like this should have been the vast majority of Citrus+ IMO. This small extra chapter alone did more to make me like Mei and see her as an actual normal young woman than + has done so far in 6 volumes. Mei having a facial expression other than just blank and stoic is so freaking refreshing, it's not even funny (^^)

They don't sleep enough 8 hours a day, if you count from 11:30 pm to 5:30 am, they only sleep 6 hours.

Noticed too, now with such sleep schedule and workload during weekdays as a teenager they would quickly burnout or worse if it was a real life scenario, especially Mei.

I know, right?!

Who are Sayaka and Miyabi, and did their chapter not get translated yet?
