Spoilers for the original Citrus manga.



So since there are no reviews yet, I thought I'd share my thoughts.

Citrus+ is the continuation of Citrus, the story takes place after Yuzu and Mei's relationship is recognized by their surroundings but before Yuzu and Mei's wedding. At the time of writing this review 6 chapters are out, despite the manga was planned on being released monthly in Comic Yuri Hime since December 2018, chapter 7 won't be out till September 2019.

Story - 8: The main focus of the story is about the relationship about Mei and Yuzu. This sounds familiar right ? It's true that this was also ... the focus of the Citrus manga, but where the Citrus manga was more of an angsty drama about 2 teenage girls falling in love, and overcomming the internal and external hurdles their relationship brought with it, Citrus+ plus seems more like a slice-of-life manga about Yuzu and Mei learning to be in a relationship and actually growing up.

Art- 10: If you've read Citrus you know what you are in for, its Saburouta so yea its pretty good.

Characters - 9: The characters continue from where the original manga ended. It's only been a few chapters but Yuzu and Mei and tries to look for ways in which they can be better partners for one another. The characters seem to be a bit more mature and down to earth, and there seems to be real character development.

Enjoyment - 9: I am really enjoying Citrus+ but I gotta throw a disclaimer out there, I am big fan of the original manga and it's the anime/manga that got me into anime/manga.

Overall - 9: The story and the characters feel more mature than they did in the original manga, but it is still Citrus so I won't tell you that this is the manga you need to read if you like realistic Josei/Seinen manga about romance/relationship. However, the more "slice-of-life" tone the series has taken slows the manga down a bit more and makes Citrus+ more of a character driven series than the original Citrus manga was.

So in conclussion Citrus+ is a slower, more down to earth follow-up to Citrus, which you should definitely check out if you enjoyed the original series or you thought the original show had potential but was too focussed on teenage drama.

I thought Citrus was over.

I was wrong.

Citrus+ pretty much continues from where the happy ending left off. And that's about it.

To be fair, I understand the feeling of "I want more! I want more!" but if the ending's already perfect and time passes. The less you yearn for more. Oh, trust me. That's just how it works for everyone. Don't deny it.

I like how Citrus is trying to exploit the "I want more!" factor by giving us Citrus+. But in my opinion. I have already lost interest in Citrus after watching the anime and reading the manga. I'm already over with it. ... I don't need more of it. It's already enough.

You then may ask me psychologically. "Then why the fuck are you reading Citrus+?". Well, because I don't really know where else to go for shoujo-ai. I am confident that I have read all the good ones so I am having difficulties finding the other remainings. Thus, it leads me to this.

Conclusion - Citrus+ is for those who still want more. That's about it. This ain't for me so I will not be reading the manga for a while.

So i honestly just wanna dump my feelings for this manga, and why i’m really happy about how it’s gotten to the point it has, and it’s ups and downs i guess

so we know this just continues on from the proposal, and honestly it’s an all around 10/10 for me. i’ve loved citrus ever since i saw the anime in 2018, and i don’t plan on stoppin really

story: 8/10
if your looking for some of the drama and stuff that went on in the og citrus your not really getting much of that. it’s kinda more about “expanding the relationship”. personally idgaf and enjoy this ... to insanity but realistically there’s not much crazy stuff that happens. but it’s extremely cute, and i personally give it a 10/10

art: 10/10
i don’t think i really gots to go in depth with this, the arts always been amazing and will continue to be amazing. since the og the arts always been good. never fails to make me want to read another chapter instantly, and probably one of the reasons i got hooked onto this so bad just because how much i love to look at this

characters: 9/10
going off only yuzu and mei 10/10 honestly biased review ngl but including everyone like matsuri, harumi, and himeko ( basically only harumi ) , they’re all great. i’ve loved every side character, they all have their personalities and don’t really interfere with much of yuzu and mei, and it makes me pretty happy

enjoyment: 11/10
can’t be more biased then this… genuinely just love this series for what it is. the og has its flaws and it’s very easy to see why people genuinely don’t like this anime/manga, and it makes sense. but i genuinely just love citrus for what it is. it’s just an amazing romance to me, everybody gets slowly closer to each other, and yuzu and mei really open up to each other, and it’s easy to see they’re in love, and it’s just honestly an amazing feeling when you read it

overall?
i mean if you’re here, i’m guessing you like this and want to continue, so please, do urself a favor and continue. it has extremely sweet moments, some make you smile, and it’s just all around a good continuation. it doesn’t need a bunch of drama or something to happen, but if it does, it just adds more to the story to make it even better. honestly, again can’t be more biased than this. this is probably a really bad review, but this is just honestly the best way i can say that citrus is a really amazing manga to me, and i think you should read it, hopefully to enjoy it as much as i do

thanks for your time, means a lot, and i hope you enjoy citrus+

spoiler for the Citrus Manga-
~
Its progresses where our main citrus manga left not after the marriage but after yuzu proposed Mei. alright they are back in being in the same house same room and cute stories follows. i will recommend this manga ONLY to the ones who enjoyed citrus not only the kisses and hugs BUT the drama too because till now (ch-09) we haven't got any 'golden moments' but the story is rather satisfying

Art - 10/10
artwork is pretty similar to the main manga so you can guess xD

Character - 9/10
AND HERE WE PRESENT THE BEST GIRL AWARD TO - HURUMIN!! lol
character development is ... rather interesting and we have a broader look towards the school.

Enjoyment - 7.5/10
oh god Mei is sooo cute in this one too lol she is SOOO SHY!! watching these two is really enjoyable where there are no bedroom scenes up until now you pervs!!

Overall - 9/10?
I will update overall once i complete this :)
Up until now its really enjoyable and good going for me <3

Okay, I'd like to clear up some things.

A common misconception I've noticed from people who read this manga is that it's lacking from what the initial Citrus had, and that is undeniable. However I want you to be aware that this isn't a brand-new manga or anything like that, this is just a flat-out continuation of the story. Now when I mention flat-out continuation it's nothing less of that. No new CRAZY arcs, or anything of the sort. This is just solely for people who are interested in the life of Mei and Yuzu and possibly other characters after the events of the initial series. ... This is something that people aren't understanding when they go out of their way to call this "bad" or "boring"

Although I mention that this series is nothing more than a continuation there's more to it than that, there are of course different arcs that put multiple characters in jeopardy similar to the initial series however the arcs aren't as extreme as the initial series...-
I digress.

Reading this manga honestly was refreshing, Yuzu and Mei are finally getting the relationship they both worked hard to achieve and that's all you need to know, I recommend it for any citrus fan who wants to see more of the series. I also never mention this but this show covers way more than just Yuzu and Mei's relationship, it also delves into the lives of other characters which viewers may have been curious about.

ALL AND ALL, this is just leading up to the climax of the story really, so keep that in mind when people call it "boring" or say it has "slow pacing", etc.

In terms of the plot, I'm happy the series is continued. I want to see more of the two characters and their growth.

The art is good. It's simple. It's well drawn. Not much to talk about here.

Characters and enjoyment are sort of interwoven, because you're only going to enjoy this if the relationship is going somewhere. Since this is a continuation from the manga, it's pretty much the same, but it feels just as slow as the other. That's why it's only a 7. I know it's supposed to be a cute love story, but damn, can it get sexual? I know that sounds like ... i just want some hentai/ecchi type shit between two school girls, but I honestly want it because the relationship is at a stand still this entire series. There's no growth. But my hope for this growth is what keeps me coming back... It just has to happen soon.

This is exactly what the original citrus manga needed.

It has a lot of character developments, and it is fixing the rushed ending of the original citrus manga and the story in my opinion is very satisfying.

The artwork is perfect as always but it has made me feel uncomfortable at some pages (I`m not sure why)
putting that aside it has a very pretty style to it.

And for character developments... I think it is not the right time to judge but from what I have seen the characters has became more lovable and interesting.

but like I said it is not the time to judge anything but ... for now i really loved this manga and I am looking forward to it.
