I think this episode was so much better than the first! Certainly more comfortable at least XD

Really looking forward to seeing the characters open up more and to see what they're really thinking. If every episode after is like this then I think this could be pretty good...

Also who else thought Yuzu was awesome this week?

I hope it gets better. For now it's almost painful to watch. Don't really get where the supposed feelings came from, seems too forced. And Mei is so aggressive for no particular reason.

i feel like its going really nice. i didn't read the manga so i don't know how good its actually going but i'm enjoying it and i hope it gets even better. the one thing i didn't like is that it seemed a bit rushed i mean only two episodes were completed and she already thinks that she's in love(well..there are animes where they take tooo long to realize). it would have been better if it happened in episode 3 or 4. that's all .

nice episode

I was concerned that this might be another overly rapey anime, but this one...I at least felt the chemistry between them, and the main char seems to have some feelings rather then just doing it for the sake of it. Looking forward to seeing where this progresses.

Are you trying to troll me? It's obvious that Yuzu does not mind the attention. In fact, by seeking out Mei after she is taken from home, she is inviting that sort of sexual contact.


So you're victim blaming? Idk man, I don't think anyone should have to be thwarted from going to someone's house under risk of being Sexually Assaulted. Besides she was going there to return her suitcase in this Adaptation (unlike in the Manga where she followed her, and maybe then you can make a case). Either way you're logic is retarded!


I can't be victim blaming if there is no victim. Yuzu enjoyed every moment of it and, therefore, Mei did nothing wrong.

Also *your.

Even if it were possible for Mei to be a rapist, it's obvious that Yuzu is not being raped because her attempts at "fighting back" are very feeble. She clearly wants what is happening to her or else she would be making real attempts to stop Mei's advances. She would also be trying to distance herself from Mei in social situations which, judging by the latest episode, is the opposite of what's Yuzu wants.


"It's not rape because your attempts at defense are too half-assed" is I think the single most disgusting rape apolgetics I've heard in my entire life :v

It's actually quite irrelevant whether Yuzu wants it or not (I posit that you have very little reason to think she genuinely does beyond a surprisingly rapid Stockholm syndrome), what matters are Mei's intentions and the anime makes no attempts to present her as anything but malicious. For all we know her ONLY goal is to hurt Yuzu. Everything else is sheer rationalization on your part. You can SAY her reasons are more complicated, but you're literally contradicting the show.

Stop twisting what you're being shown to have your juvenile fantasy and just take the story at face value.


I can't be rape apologizing if there was no rape. Yuzu was actively seeking out Mei. She enjoyed her sexual interactions with her imouto so much that she wanted more. If she were truly raped then there would be no way that she would try her best to not only talk to Mei, but also to make sure that she stayed in the same home.

I am taking the story at face value. And, no, this is not a "juvenile fantasy". Wanting to see two women hold hands, fall in love, and grow old together is a very mature and worldly viewpoint. Just because you're homophobic and want to portray lesbians as insane rapists (a horrendous and widespread trope) does not mean that your radical beliefs match up with reality.

Yep! To add to that, Harumin is a great supporting character. For a while during this ep I wanted her to be the a 2nd MC since she's way more fun than Mei who's pretty bland so far but then again, there wouldn't be much of an anime if that contrast wasn't there.

Yes. AFTER SHE WAS RAPED and developed sexual attraction towards her rapist. Your point is moot. People actually very often develop sexual attraction towards their abusers. It's called STOCKHOLM SYNDROME. It's areal thing, look it up. You being just stupid and oblivious to how people work is hardly an excuse.

As long as you don't recognize this to be a rather fucked up story about a person developing feelings towards someone who unambiguously raped them, no you're not. I'm sorry you apparently lack the capacity to take this story for what it is.

I understand it, in order to understand some stories you have to have certain capacity for empathy and be aware of certain kinds of experiences people have. You obviously lack those, so you don't "get" this story.

I mean... I can't be TOO mad at you, you're simply ignorant. I don't know why you're arguing though, it's obvious you're simply coming from a place of limited perspective.

I'm really enjoying the adaptation, Citrus is one of my favorite Yuri manga and the adaptation seems to be doing a very fine job. If this season adapts through volume 4, I think the pacing will work out great.

It's unfortunate that the adaptation is far more prone to getting dropped early on before things settle into place with the girls' relationship, but I've thought from before the show even aired that those who didn't like/haven't read the manga are unlikely to stick with it unless they are already Yuri fans.

Missing out on some juicy Yuri drama though, just saying :)


Yeah, it is a shame where people just drop it already because they don't give it a chance to see why this is really happening. This series is really good. I'm enjoying it so far.

Well, that escaleted quickly. I wonder how dumb she can even be? To be expelled from the school so quickly and to ofend not only the director but her would be grandad, that's gotta take some guts and no brain. She didn't even realize she is making problems to her mother with her actions as her step-father would probably have to deal with it at some time too (his grandad won't be happy with his step-grandchild behavior).

Really don't know the way out of this mess... other than she would apologize and start wearing her clothes properly. I know she thinks she's fighting the system but isn't her behavior even worse?

Yuzu was awesome this episode, and I liked her most at the assembly exposing Aizawa-sensei, that left me with a smile.

Interesting she came to the realisation of liking Mei at the end but that preview however I wonder what Mei will do.

Time to read the manga alongside of the anime because of the art and pacing? Either way the anime is still doing well.

Well, of course she acts towards her this way, because author made her do it, despite the way Mei goes about that is rapey as fuck.
The 'horrendous trope' is being spread by works like that, what are you even on about. I've seen a handful of yuri and it's so common that one is being forceful and creepy af, from what I've heard it's often the same in yaoi.

People are very apolegtic about that, I wonder if they would still refuse to call it assault if it was a man forcing himself on a woman he barely knows, trying to tear up her clothes when she's trying to break free and saying stop, stop.

This is a horrible portrayal of romance.

@Imaishi
To you and anyone else who is considering dropping this anime, I would ask you to please consider reading the manga instead of just being done with the story outright. It seems like the anime adaptation is trying to be more explicit than the manga. For instance, the first time that Mei kissed Yuzu, she was much more forceful in the anime. In the manga, it looks like Mei just surprised Yuzu and kissed her unexpectedly, then pulled away. It didn't show Yuzu struggling and kicking her makeup box over like it does in the anime. There are several more scenes like that, just in these first two episodes. It looks to me like the manga will be the superior version, especially if the anime continues with the alternate interpretations that make the scenes more sensationalist.

Indeed, well I'm glad you and many others are still enjoying the show. I think the dropping is mostly just because of unwarranted expectations. Nobody who read Citrus ever said it would be a typical, drama-free, family-friendly "romance". Quite the opposite, but that's why I like it :)

For those still complaining, I would like to direct you to the summary on MAL: "So instead of a sweet high-school romance, she (Yuzu) butts heads with the stern student council president Mei—who turns out to be her new stepsister. And she has to learn that hate and attraction are often not that far apart."

So if you have complaints about this series because it's not the fluffy romance expected, you have none to blame but yourself, because this is how it was written and intended. Verily. Off you go now, and if you are still interested in Yuri but not Citrus, I recommend Sakura Trick and Candy Boy for all of your fluffy Yuri needs.

To be fair, this sentiment is probably coming from a place of genuine goodness, even if it's misguided. I think people tend to want their romance stories cheerful and uplifting. They would rather assume Mei to be well intentioned and Yuzu being all on boar with everything than actually take the story at face value, because if you take it at face value it's rather uncomfortable. People don't want to feel uncomfortable when seeing a romance flick. Moreover people in general lack deep empathy, you can't expect them to sympathize with messed up people for no reason, especially when they probably can't even comprehend their mindset.

Hmm their first foray as a new family huh. Yuzu looked terrified of Mei after her first kiss. Mei's behaviour really is unpredictable though. Yuzu's plan sure backfired. So the teacher is the one that is engaged to Mei and is in fact only taking advantage of her. Looks like Mei really misses her father though. Yuzu's speech sure was bold though. So the consequence of Yuzu's stunt was Mei being taken away then. Yuzu is surprisingly perceptive though at times though. Looks like Mei's situation is more complex than Yuzu thought.

Ehh... I'm probably gonna drop this one. Yuzu is cute and fun, but so far Mei has been not only incomprehensible but also very unlikable. Judging from the other comments, it's probably not so bad in the manga, but in this adaptation, the romantic leads have had three straight-up "attempted sexual assault" scenes, and it's only episode two. I'm just... not here for that. Plus, the tone is very inconsistent, the fanservice is too blatant for my personal tastes, the writing is "meh", and some of the scenes just kind of... end. Like, no logical conclusion or transition into the next scene, they just... end.

Even if this show does get significantly better (which I'm certain that it will; Mei will probably turn out to have a sympathetic backstory, they'll have some more consensual scenes together, and the tone will eventually even out a bit), I'm not sure I'm willing to sit through the next however-many episodes before then. I might check out the manga, though, and if I find myself with nothing better to watch, I might still watch episode three. There are plenty of good things in this show, so it may be worth giving one last chance.

Anyway, more important topic: Harumin is best girl.
