In any case, this creates a rather toxic stereotype about homosexuality, even more than works with an abusive boyfriend.

Well, of course this can be said about pure shoujo anime/manga as well, just look at all thos "perfect" male MC taht are so arrogant and edgy, but somehow female MC fell for them.

I guess its another nippon thing.


Dunno if its relevant, but the original author wrote a shoujo manga with 's & m' themes and its pretty much shit drama... while Citrus might be a little less bad than that but it doesnt make it good.

idk why always the low hanging fruit of gay romances get animated, last year (or the year before) we straight up got pedophilia where a guy fell in love with his 8 year old adopted brother (super lovers i think), guess land of the rising sun needs a harmless taboo (liking same gender) with some weird ass taboo to sell well

I didn't think I'd enjoy this as much as I do. I think it's the animation and how Yuzu and Mei are opposites of each other. I like Yuzu the most because she acts like an idiot but really cares for her mother and others.

Headmaster Grandpa was lucky that Yuzu found him and didn't kick him in the balls but brought him to the hospital instead. BAKA BAKA BAKA! At least he was thankful to her and she's back in school.

Yuzu has a nice ass. No wonder Mei be grabbin' dat ass.

Yuzu got KyoumiNai-zoned, aint-interested-zone.

Curly twin-tail girl is cute too.

Yuzu became the seme this time.

Mei being like "it is immoral to read yuri manga" should maybe remember that she tried to rape her stepsister in the previous episode (and that the first thing she had done when she first meet her was to grop her).

The scenarists should just follow one rule : to answer the question "would this romance works if the characters were hetero ?". If it looks really weird in an hetero relation, why would it works when the characters are gay ?

So Yuzu walks in to yell at the chairman and he's just conveniently about to die? This feels like the beginning of a Forensic Files episode.

"You can attend school again. But please wear the uniform and save yourself a lot of trouble. Dumbass."

Why is Yuzu trying to read incest manga to get ideas on how to bond with her sister? "So crazy...I never knew a person could bend that way."

Why is unauthorized touching okay when Mei does it, but when Yuzu almost does it Mei NOPEs out of the bed?

"This would be way easier if I hated her." Yuzu, why do you not hate Mei? She hates you and has attempted to or successfully sexually assaulted you multiple times.

Mei, it's your fault your stepsister caught the gay. Take responsibility. You could've kept it at incest manga, but no, you had to confront the elephant in the room and make her hormones go all out of wack.

The more I see of Yuzu...... the more I like Mei. I am not sure about the target age of this anime, but I am not it. The music is goofy for the action it accompanies and once again Yuzu is in full "look at me stand out from the crowd and cause problems" mode.

I suppose noone reads these old threads, but I'll write anyway...for therapy reasons or something. I really want to like, or at least stand this show, because there is so little yuri out there. But it is just impossible.

So I just watched episode 3 during which one sister finds the other sister's incest porn stash. When she confronts her about it, the latter pushes her up against the desk, ready to rape again. This is plot is worse than porn! Imagine that for an elevator pitch. How did this show even get made?

Really digging the realism in this show. For one most of the characters motivations and actions actually feel of that of a HS student. I know the anime community harps to much on yuri but adolescences always finds its way experimenting with love and lust at a young age. It really does portray the real world accurately. I am so glad the romance is progressing.

Loving the drama as well. So glad Tatsuwa (nisekoi director) is chief directing this series. The style is def showing. Can't wait for more of this fab show. This season is a treat.


Looks like you are one of the minority here that actually comprehends whats going on and doesn't call it "Unrealistic" or "dumb"



I also loved it. I don’t really think it’s a minority, I’m getting the feeling this is a show with as many haters as there are lovers. This episode and all the rest.. as well as the manga made me happy. But then again I’m a pretty dramatic person, especially when it comes to all my romantic relationships, perhaps maybe why this anime/manga hit home with me

I started Citrus because i was curious and actually i am a sucker for this genre (yuri, f/f) but, right now, i'm really confused because this looks like Stockholm Syndrome and it's making me a little bit uncomfortable. First Mei kissed Yuzu without her consent and then Yuzu kissed Mei. Also Mei pushed Yuzu on her bed then she tore off Yuzu's uniform. Someone explains me what is going on because i have no idea. I hope it gets better (translated : stop doing things without consent).

It's not Stockholm Syndrome. If it was, then Yuzu would be excusing Mei's nonconsensual acts, which she isn't.

As for why Mei is doing these things, she has a distorted and unhealthy view of relationships, as a result of experiencing sexual and emotional abuse herself. The former was her arranged marriage with Amamiya, and the former gets more focus later on.

I agree with you, she was abused multiple times and it's terrible but this is not an excuse to hurt other people or especially to abuse them. And i think Yuzu made some mistakes too so you are right when you say it's not like Stockholm Syndrome (by the way, the first time, i've used it as a metaphor)

The lack of consent in this anime is making me quite uncomfortable.
I want them to touch on the subject of consent, but haven't seen any indication of this subject ever being introduced. Oh well.
4/10 episode for me.

Ok that's a good episode. More like good development but I like where this is going.

I think Yuzu kissing Mei was quite something but that is what Mei kind of turned Yuzu into lol, quite a change but from all those self monologues it is believable stuff.

Also from what I see people out here really only disliking it because of "rape". Accurately speaking this is more sexual assault I think, but not unconsented sex which is rape.

Almost dying certainly changes your perspective on a lot of things, huh. That was an overnight change, no less.

God I hatred Mei in this episode. Glad Yuzu shut her mouth and kissed her and got even.

bitch will be begging to kiss yuzu next i know it.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

I really appreciate everything that Yuzu is trying to do here in order to get closer to Mei and earn her trust. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that Mei feels the same way towards Yuzu. Maybe their love starts off real slow and will eventually be really high by the time this series ends.

Can't wait to see how these girls' personalities and relationships develop towards each other.

Yep. Honestly, "Dank Sisters" is probably an apt description for this anime. I think I'm just going to call it "Dank Sisters" from now on.





And of course, more non-con forced kissing, this time because of blondie... the things I do for a fuller anime list.
