As of June 2024 Citrus has sold 4 million copies in 16 volumes (1.9 million just from Japan alone) and according to the most recent numbers we have, is the second best selling yuri manga. Only behind Saki and above Yuru Yuri

I can get debating quality but Citrus is clearly very popular to this day. The other stuff is more interesting to me. For example, I love seeing 2DK and Fuzoroi no Renri up there. For some reason I forget how popular Murcielago is every now and then.
Nobody doubts that citrus is popular, I'm the first to "criticize" but I'm still here. Those data that you have provided are wonderful, but they also continue to talk about the past (in my humble opinion) because Treats citrus and citrus+ as a whole, when here we are talking about citrus+, not the original series. It would be interesting to see sales data separating the original series, and citrus+, as two series Independent (even if they are not). The reality is that one year we have only had one episode of citrus+ and history (in my opinion) has taken a bassoon. The future will.If you don't publish and months and months go by without information, and if you don't give something "attractive" to the reader, in the end people will end up getting tired.

Citrus+ has sold great. Also, this particular thread of the convo did start with someone questioning the series' popularity. Everything was in response to that.

citrus is being counted as a whole because the other series on the list also include spinoffs and LN versions to give them a little push to their numbers. Plus citrus is what in comic book industry is called an "evergreen title", a series that is never out of print because it consistently sells no matter how long it has been since its release. If you've seen pics of the yuri section of Japanese manga stores you'll notice that aside from the series they are currently pushing, citrus volumes (regular and plus) are always in the background.

citrus plus was also the first yuri series (to my knowledge at least) to have a world wide simultaneous release.

The Harry Potter of yuri

Once more looks like there'll be no new Citrus+ chapter in October, either https://www.ichijinsha.co.jp/yurihime/next/

Very nice hardcover edition of the original citrus for Germany

I'm sorry I haven't been keeping up, what is going on with Citrus' publication?

That seems to be the big question. Some people have speculated about the author’s health, but as far as anyone can tell that is indeed completely speculation. Saburouta does seem to be doing some Citrus-related work, like for the collected volumes. But new chapters of Citrus+ have been very few and far between and with (at least in my opinion) not a great deal of focus in the plot or characterization, and sometimes with the art obviously not completely finished.

If anyone knows more I would certainly be interested to hear it.

It has already been confirmed by several sites that in November there will be a chapter of citrus + (we will see if it has been worth the wait). And as far as it refers to everything is speculation (that if she is sick, that if she has taken a vacation, that if she is working on another project, that if she does not know how to continue the story and has taken some time to reflect, that if she has gotten bored ... who knows what we know for sure is that from October 2023 to October 2024 she has only published one chapter to close vol 6 and put it up for sale and apart from that three tweets, one on New Years, to tell us that she wanted to try "new things" (no idea) another to talk about merch, and another to tell us that the citrus anime would be free on YT for a certain time. We will see if after she publishes in November she maintains a more stable periodicity or if she announces something that we do not know. Greetings

There's a new chapter out this month!!!

thank you so much

It still feels like Yuzu is creating an artificial crisis for herself here, to me at least. I guess I'd understand it more if it was all still an obvious stand-in for her own insecurities about Mei getting too close with Arata, but it's somehow gone beyond that now and she truly wants to save the other academy. I don't really get why she should care that much about it. I guess Yuzu is just this kindhearted a person and it's in her nature to help.

I’m definitely on the side for letting all affected parties know as soon as possible since it gives them time to sort their feelings about the thing before it happens.

I don’t doubt that Mei cares about other people, but her limited empathy and completely incurious nature regarding other people’s feelings are still tough to see with the chapter releases being so scant.

Yuzu is definitely overthinking here, I don't know why she's assuming Akamine Academy will get wiped when everything so far points to merely becoming either the male branch of Aihara or that both academies will fuse into a bigger mixed academy. She even comes off as slightly condescending towards Arata by assuming he is being kept out of the loop despite the negotiations having gone on for a while. At least is nice that Sabu didn't take the easy way and use Arata for more romantic misunderstandings.

I'm more curious about what is going on with Harumin, is she having second thoughts about going to college or is she planning to go to a different college than Yuzu (Overboard maybe?) Also, her grandma is pretty cool, the best adult in the series since Ume.

I think it's more like she knows he's being kept out of the loop, since he basically said as much in the last chapter when they met up. Plus, his language and attitude didn't seem to indicate that he was aware his school was getting bought out. I think Yuzu's "Oh..." in response to Mei saying "If his father has been keeping him informed" is Yuzu realizing, oh, he said his father hasn't been keeping him informed, so he probably doesn't know. Still, that chapter was several months ago for us, so a flashback panel or something might've been nice, haha.

That big break in between definitely gave us one of the cleanest looking chapters in a while. I felt like it was a waste of pages to have the convo about the issue twice though. It made this chapter feel kinda repetitive to read even if it was realistic to have. I hope the Arata arc ends soon. I know it mostly feels like it's been going on forever because of the long months between updates, but I'm ready to move onto the next topic, especially if it's gonna focus on Harumin again next. Maybe Saburouta will finally bless us with some more HaruMatsu (I doubt sigh).

Harumin is even better looking in color.

Harumin is always a five-course meal.

Buff. These are my adjectives of how the saboruota story is going. Soporific, repetitive, slow, without romance, not funny, not spicy at all, it's like living a deja vu. I know my comment is not going to be liked but it's my personal opinion. Little to comment on this chapter, +25 pages of our beloved yuzu (the queen of drama and stress) to put her head in order, thanks to harumin's grandmother (oscar for the grandmother) and on the other hand to our beloved harumin (the queen of mystery and few words) who for some reason we don't know, when yuzu asks her if she has something in mind, she answers no. I've read a theory somewhere that says it may be that harumin has decided to go study abroad and doesn't want to tell yuzu so that "she doesn't have a heart attack" hahaha. As I said, personal opinion. Little matsuri, missing characters, mei in Olaf version etc...

I think she should had an affair witj Harumin

I'm more curious about what is going on with Harumin, is she having second thoughts about going to college or is she planning to go to a different college than Yuzu (Overboard maybe?) Also, her grandma is pretty cool, the best adult in the series since Ume.

I'm also curious about what going on with Harumi & yeah her grandma is pretty cool.
