| Best episode so far, I absolutely loved it! Yuzu's faces in the pictures were hilarious. Her and Harumi's chemistry is just one of the best things I've ever seen, lmao. And looks like Matsuri finally made her appearance as well, oh oh. I really gotta get used to her voice. It's not exactly what I had in mind.... |
  |
| I feel like the animations and the script are getting worse and worse... |
| I really enjoyed this episode. They don't make us wait too long about the relationship between Yuzu and Mei. It's going great so far, I hope they won't mess scenario with that new girl. |
| Well Mei definitely got a lot more characterization this episode. It was nice to see Yuzu being more assertive and Mei being the more emotionally vulnerable one, if only for a while! And that was an A grade kiss at the end right there. Things are definitely getting interesting! That girl at the end is so obviously gonna be planted there to add more drama but tbh I can't find myself even minding because I genuinely enjoy the crap outta this anime! |

| This episode was amazing like all the others. Just like episode 5, you have the heartwarming scenes and i really like Shou hes a cool guy. I also feel for the characters so much. I seriously feel the love between Yuzu and Mei becoming more solid. Also i kinda think Shou supports it. Also the almost sex scene was funny. Better than cumming on your friend's comatose body. |

| Whole father x daughter reunion and everything, it was weird... as all those forced kisses. The way she's now, the way she's experience with sex and men, it's almost like her father abused her somehow. Not to mention his smirk towards her the last time. And if this assumption is false then why did they even introduced him when her trauma is based elsewhere? This development really made no sense and characters are developed just for the sake of script. Enter the random rival girl again. In the end, I really don't know what this series tries to be, either it's like Sakura Trick and should ditch all the drama in favour of fanservice or it's more like Netsuzou Trap but not quite. It really feels like the story was like your usual fanfiction. |
| HARUMIN HAS OPPAI! So Mei uses her kisses to escape her problems or something? Well I guess she looked up to her father until he changed his ways and left her behind. It's the dad's fault! But at least they made up. Yuzu being good girl again. She's got guts. Loved the bicycle scene too...but...isn't it illegal for two people to be riding a bike? And they took that across the city... New character introduced. Pink hair and headphones. And she knows Yuzu? Are we getting another Triangle? |

| It seems their love is becoming not forced at this point. Wonder if that pink haired girl is some sort of antagonist. |

This development really made no sense and characters are developed just for the sake of script. I didn't consider her father to be like that at any time last episode but I'm not gonna lie that in every episode, at some point, I was wondering if something really happened to Mei when she was younger I mean, she is/was so emotionless and so sexually abusive towards Yuzu... I don't know. And now, we probably are gonna have another love triangle just to bother Mei for the next couple of episodes... yay?... |
| harumin the true MVP good development for the two quite the intimate kiss there glad she stopped Mei the first time also dad was a nice duder just didn't want to live that lifestyle anymore and became a free man. but Matsuri was wondering when that girl and those two white haired ones will show up not the voice i was expecting, i like her design but is she gonna be our female NTR-er D: |
 |
| Yesss Matsuri... the comment rage next episode is going to be glorious xD Loving this adaptation so much, especially what it's doing with Mei. I felt for her in the manga, too, but the anime is giving her that little bit of extra emotion that she needs. When she trotted off to say goodbye to her father and after the wonderful ending kiss, especially. |
 |
| Hey Mei, don't make it bad~ Take a sad song and make it better~ Remember to let her into your heart~ Then you can start to make it better~ |
| For me , citrus is one of the best yuri anime that i have ever seen. And now the appearance of haruka from sakura trick it will give the anime a time travel to the past of the sisters. Looking forward to the next episode |
| I already hate the pink haired girl, both her voice and whatever she's gonna do later on. I have a feeling it's just gonna go down hill from here. |
| I thought this episode revealed the underlying story of this anime, Mei's relationship with her father and how she wants to bring him back to the academy or something... But that was short-lived, and it's gone back to being just a Yuri themed anime 😭. So does that mean the plot is yuzu and Mei developing their relationship |
 |
| It was nice that they shared a sincere kiss. The drama behind Mei and her dad was alright, it was nice they went into both his and her perceptions of their estranged relationship. |
| Matsuri's voice is so annoying. Good episode overall. I can't wait for next week's comments about her though. Gna be hilarious. |
| Mei's voice was a bit off but overall that was a feels good episode. Looking forward to what happens next week. |

Farabeuf said: Just drop the Mei crush already and fall in love with the best girl already! I'm referring to Harumin of course. Who else could it be? Yeah, makes me wonder why Harumin is left at sideline. She is easygoing character and drama-free or it seems. Now, the father/sensei complex is left behind, can we get some cheerful and lively Mei dosage? Or else newcoming girls will steal Yuzucchi. |
| Hehe.. finally a proper real kiss. This is the kind of quality F/F anime I have always been looking for. Dad is really cute, but I wonder how did he end up dating mom with his crazy schedule, he hardly ever comes home. How did they even meet? |
| Mei's dad is a cool guy and Harumin was great as always. The pink-haired girl, Matsuri, seems interesting. Great episode overall. |
 |
| It's starting to feel as though i am just watching the same episodes over and over -.- Nothing IS PROGRESSING! |

Unyversu said: It's starting to feel as though i am just watching the same episodes over and over -.- Nothing IS PROGRESSING! So that whole development Mei gone through in this episode is nothing? OKAY, great for you then. Bawse said: Usually I hate short hair, but Matsuri is just God tier next to Rikka from Chuunibyou. Hope she’s kinky 3.3 She is very possessive and crazy, so yeah you will definitly get what you want from her. But IMO it was when she was introduced, that the plot started to feel like it wasnt progressing in the direction I wanted it to go, so I really am not that hyped for the next episodes...

When she trotted off to say goodbye to her father and after the wonderful ending kiss, especially. Yep it will, that NTR will fuck with some dude's heads pretty good, though by the end, I ended up welcoming her too (for that menage a trois). This episode is the best, even better than ep1, while they adapted almost the same number of pages they did on the previous one, there was a major different here: - First the pacing for key scenes was just great; - Secondly, seems like "light" was finally made and the studio reached the conclusion that they need to insert some really good background songs for the drama moments, that just nail it in delivering the emotions the manga manages to deliver with its art, and THEY DID IT!! Seriously, episode 5 could have been so much better if they had used some good ost on that graveyard scene... on this episode when Yuzu sees Mei crying, that scene was so much more powerful than it the manga, and the whole follow up was just amazing, better than the manga, it was alluring yet disturbing when Mei calls Yuzu easy, it was a powerfull scene in conveying on much Mei was broken (and it was cute to see Yuzu embracing her so dearly). The whole scene with the dad had a more natural pace to it than the manga ever had, you can see the studio likes the manga, and can add little details to make this adaptation break free from the manga. Last scene, the kiss, I would only change the fact that I would prefer like they done in the manga, where we see their eyes locking on each other and getting close, like both were enchanted by eachother, then their mouths connect, and also afterwords, we didnt see Yuzu feeling that shy and blanked out like she did on the manga, that was EXTREMELY ADORABLE! Here: So while the other scene surpassed the manga, this one did its own thing, with some room for improving (the other was perfect!) while still being a great scene that nailed this turning tide for Mei & Yuzu's relationship. Bravo Passione, bravo! As for the next arc, I dont believe it will engage me as much since the manga IMO had its own problems with it, but if they manage to improve some stuff I m all on gears for that. I feel very lucky to have seen an adaptation to Citrus coming out and doing everything that it did to this point, what an amazing year for yuri so far! |

Karmafan56 said: Like I said this show is a trainwreck. All these characters go against everything anyone with common sense would understand. Her mom marries a guy who then takes off and goes all over the world and the Mom is ok with that? Its just one character after another that is bad shit crazy with no sense at all. Finally, someone that sees this from my point of view. When I saw the mangas score I thought we were gonna get something good for once instead of blatant fanservice. Yes, Citrus tries to not just be fanservice but at this point, it's the only thing that's been noticeable. |

Considering how before this episode's events she's pretty much idolized her father and lived to keep the school ready for his return, I really don't see anything pointing to the father in this regard. If anything, her by now gone fiance's pretty horrible behavior is to blame for this. |

HelpMeFindAnime said: Read the manga. What is there not to understand. And by the way, Mei is not experienced with sex nor men. She is just as virgin as Yuzu is. She is from a rich family, so that teacher from episode 1 was the dude she was supposed to marry. Through arranged marriage. She worked to keep the school running, so that her father could take over it, but the father wants to teach students around the world, and not just at that school. She was not abused. The father left because he had a dream, and the daughter was left with the grandpa who runs the school Do you honestly believe she would turn like this if she was not abused or something? We were shown she had pretty nice childhood so something had to go wrong. If the father wasn't the reason, then Chekhov's gun I say - don't introduce him at all. Also, it's nice some things are explained in the manga but the anime does really bad job then, leaving imporatant parts out - or - portraying both main heroines with slightly different characters. And I'm commenting the anime not the manga. So far the series only convinced me that it would be a lot better if they left all the drama out as they are bad at it (compared to great Kuzu no Honkai for example or Maria-sama ga Miteru) and if they focused on harmless slice-of-life and fanservice only. |
MHEEC said: if by "didnt give a shit" you mean "cried all over the table" then you got it right. otherwise, you and me are not watching the same show. also, better mark your spoilers before people report you Thanks for the heads up, marked it now Anyways alright she cried and then what? She hasn't done anything yet to even try to build a relationship. And you don't exactly marry a guy for the reasons she did. Anyways I don't think we're gonna agree on this one, if you like it go ahead I don't have a problem with that. I hope it gets better but so far it hasn't been any good for me |

| Harumin really is a supportive queen... wow I’m shook I really like Meis father... idk I always find characters like him appealing I haven’t really noticed it until now but the background music is really nice! I especially like the oboe in the music (I play the oboe so like hearing good oboe makes me happy) Also Yuzu mother working her construction job makes me soooo happy omg I can’t even... people are always talking about sexism in Japan . This is definilty showing progress! Mhmmmm seems like this pink haired hoe I going to cause trouble DCCXXIV said: Harumin for days!!! We all need a friend like herrr omggggg |

Clairechan1992 said: Very powerful episode of the series. Seeing Mei and her father reunite was a turning point so far, along with the *other* things that happened that I wont describe here. I really feel that Mei should've taken the chance to make up with her father before he left again, but only time will tell. Both this episode and the previous were amazing. I think its gonna get even better. Cross your fingers for a season 2 (the manga is still ongoing so it is possible owo) |

As you said, Mei idolized him and was looking to become someone like him and so, for that reason, I also don't get the idea of "something" happening between them when she was younger. And yeah, I forgot about her fiance... he sure wasn't/isn't the "kind" type of guy. |
| It's really fascinating to me the different things the anime and manga excel at. For instance, I think the driving appeal of Citrus' manga is its brisk pacing and fantastic artwork that can convey the depth and subtleties of each character's emotions, giving the narrative weight and momentum. Not to mention how great SubaroUta is at conveying sexual attention and attraction. Though the anime totally fails most of the time in the character art department, it manages to convey different things with the same material. The anime is slow compared to the manga, however, it finds very creative ways to both draw out the tension the manga is known for, and convey the subtler depths of the story that no one really cared about in the manga through creative means. I am not going to lie, though I love the scene to death in the manga, the scene where Mei and Yuzu meet the father for the last time is much more carefully executed in the anime, making its poignancy just as impactful as the stellar yet dramatic manga counterpart. However, what the trade-off for this is, well bad character designs that for some reason didn't stay on model for the most important scene of the episode! Sometimes I wish they just use slides ripped directly from the manga like they did with 90s anime to convey the same point, only better. But I digress. The manga isn't perfect either, for instance, I think that its fast pacing makes more people not realize its depth and its barebones way of conveying emotion, though still poignant, can leave a lot of people feeling disconnected if they cannot relate or aren't paying attention. To be clear, I am not knocking (hard) on the anime nor the manga- I think it is very interesting how Takahashi Takeo worked within his limitations to create an entity distinct from its source material, and I'd wager that some of the scenes in this episode were actually stronger than the manga- except for the scenes in the manga that were stronger than the anime's version. I think the biggest difference is which character each entity focuses on most. the anime seems to be Yuzu-centric, putting the most detail into her character in terms of art and dialogue. The manga is more Mei-centric, wherein we already see and relate to Yuzu enough to see everything from her point of view, and the art compliments how she is quickly she becomes attracted to Mei. I don't fully understand my feelings for this adaptation- while it definitely makes strengths of the manga's weaknesses, it also weakens the manga's strengths, yet still conveys the same message through subtler text. Anyways here is how the scene should have looked because I am a b!tch:   For the uneducated and uncultured: |
| Anyone ready for Matsuri...? Fortunately, in an unfortunate way, this is where the real shitstorm begins- and boy is it going to get acidic. Although I don't like the voice they chose for her, despite how fitting it is, I would have preferred that they make her voice much more... evil? I am not sure if I am looking forward to next week or not I am just waiting for the tornado to twist the sky.  Also, this was just gold.  |
