Comments
After watching Sailor Moon anime, she started drawing at the age of 7.
Influences when she was young: CLAMP (Card Card Captor Sakura, X), AMANO Kozue (Aira, Aqua), WATASE Yuu (Fushigi Yugi), SUGISAKI Yukiru (1001 Knights).
Got into the yuri genre through "Pretty Cure" (especially the chapter 8).
Strength: drawing close-up facial expressions and hair arrangement.
Weakness: drawing small pictures.
Among the sources used as inspiration for her work: watching movies, reading manga, doujinshi, erotica artwork targeted for male audience (like NARUKO Hanaharu's manga).
Her drawing tools: PC, Wacom Cintiq24, program ComicStudio, pencils.

IVE BEEN RELEASED FROM MY SHACKLES!!!!! completely done with citrus and citrus plus, phew!! never again. love how they dress up Harumi in the sluttiest clothes, love her. Missed Matsuri's gay ass :( for some reason citrus plus turned into a series all about the characters striving to be their best self! and work as hard as possible! to make each other proud! with inspirational messages from friends! ...give me a goddamn break, it feels like im reading a teen girl self help book. the only time mei wants to spend time with Yuzu is to help her study, its so much pressure on yuzu to "be better". whatever, byeeeee

Yes, it’s time to dip back into the world of Yuzu and her beloved tube of off-brand toothpaste, Mei. This time around, Yuzu meets up with some old friends who are hanging on to some old ideas and not being able to be herself starts eating Yuzu alive.
It’s our annual return to the wild world of Citrus+ and, for better and for worse, not a heck of a lot has changed. Yuzu is vibrant, Mei is a black hole of personality, and Harumi continues to dress in a way I refuse to believe any teenager does (no shade thrown, she’s just TOO put together).
One thing that has changed is that Matsuri doesn’t show up at all this volume except for a brief cameo at the end, which is a crushing blow when the real appeal of this series for me is waiting for her and Harumi to actually get together.
The slight plot here involves Yuzu’s old friends, Kana and Manami, who Yuzu bumps into and nearly tells them about Mei but instead bottles it and ends up discussing her newfound focus on academics.
Which really ticks off Kana, who functions as the primary antagonist for this volume by being very annoying. She’s the essential ‘acting out because insecure’, and decides to just shove all the people in her life away just because she’s given up on herself.
For something to fill a volume of manga it gets the job done and it actually gives Mei five seconds of being useful when she takes Yuzu on a date to help keep her mind off the mess with her friends. It’s believably ‘this is only really a problem because these are teenagers’.
The message here is basically that, yes, people do change and grow and your own worst enemy is yourself, pretty much every time. Again, the sentiment is fine, but even with the brief reminder I don’t recall these two new/old acquaintances from anywhere previously, so it isn’t exactly exciting.
I basically read this manga because I like the art and it has, genuinely, some of the most hyper-detailed fashion in any manga I’ve seen. It’s always great to look at, although there’s some facial wonk this time out.
It’s pretty easy to pin the blame for the story’s issues on Mei, largely because it’s her fault. With the charisma of a bannister, Mei’s about as exciting as a tablet of Dayvigo. Even her asking for Starbucks should be more fun than it is.
There are all sorts of people with flat affects, I am not exactly a bundle of excitement, but Mei’s is pretty much 2D. That’s why the story is so much better whenever the notion of Harumi and Matsuri comes up - this is two people with personalities interacting, instead of one gyaru and a box of melted white crayons.
Anyway, it’s Citrus, it has never exactly been high art and that won’t ever really change. If you didn’t like the first series, you won’t be convinced here, and if you did like the first series, you still might not be interested in this. There really isn’t a reason for this to even exist, it seems, as there doesn’t seem to be an overarching plot at all.
2.5 stars - I mean, I hesitate to even call this a yuri title, honestly, because it has never felt concerned with the feelings of its characters as much as its slightly taboo nature. It landed harder when it was one of the few titles coming over, but now that we have actual high-quality yuri it is a lot more difficult to see who it’s for.

*sigh* I love these disaster lesbians so much. Their two pages of little moments are worth an entire issue.

Éste tomo sí me gustó. Si podría darle 6 estrellas, o incluso 10, lo haría ya mismo.
Éste tomo nos cuenta sobre Yuzu, que está aplicando para una buena universidad, así pronto podrá convertirse en maestra (cómo ya lo ha dicho en tomos anteriores); pero en el medio de finalmente tomar su examen, se encuentra con unas viejas amigas de la escuela media.
Kana y Manami adoran a Yuzu tanto cómo ella a las otras dos; pero Yuzu aún se siente un poco incómoda hablando sobre su relación con Mei, con quién ya está comprometida; porque cree que sus amigas sentirán asco.
Al final; todo da un giro maravilloso cómo sólo Saburouta puede hacerlo. La magia de la amistad (sí, igual que My Little Pony) está ahí, vivaz y concreta: las amigas de Yuzu están más que felices por su relación con Mei, ¡e incluso ya están pensando en qué utilizarán el día de su boda!
Ahh... de nuevo, le pondría 10 estrellas si pudiera.
Oh, hablando de eso... ¡¡feliz 10 Aniversario de estreno!!♥︎

Quinto tomo de Citrus+, por lo cual podría considerarse como el tomo 15 de Citrus.

I have literally read this series in the span of a week. When i tell you it's one of the best mangas i've ever read! Waiting for the next one, and I'm so glad Yuzu and Mei's story is continuing!
