Citrus is a yuri manga series by Saburouta that was serialized in the monthly yuri magazine Comic Yuri Hime from 2012 to 2018. The series is currently licensed by Seven Seas Entertainment.When her single mother remarries, stylish Gyaru Girl Yuzu, who laments the fact that she has never had a boyfriend or even fallen in love, transfers to a new school. Determined to snag a boyfriend on her first day, she dresses as stylishly and sexy as she can. As she belatedly discovers, however, the school she's been transferred to is a strict, conservative, all-girls high school. On top of that, she almost immediately makes an enemy of the stoic, no-nonsense Student Council President, who punishes her numerous dress code violations by confiscating her cell phone in a strangely intimate fashion.After this tense encounter with a girl who she just can't seem to get out of her head, Yuzu returns home, just in time to find out that with the new marriage also comes a new stepsister, who turns out to be none other than Mei Aihara, the very same girl she met earlier. Later that night, when Yuzu tries to get under her new sister's skin, Mei suddenly and unexpectedly steals her first kiss, leaving poor, confused Yuzu to wonder just what this all means...An anime adaptation of the series aired from January 6 to March 24, 2018, and was simulcasted on Crunchyroll. Additionally, Funimation streamed the English dub. Watch it here.The manga concluded with its 41st chapter on August 18, 2018, with the announcement of a spinoff titled Citrus Plus, which started in December of the same year. | |

Adaptation Expansion: The anime adds quite a bit more backstory for the characters, and some scenes play out a bit different than they did in the manga. For example, Mei actually talks to her dad before he leaves instead of just shouting a few words at him before he boards the plane. | |

Coming Of Age Queer Romance: For Yuzu.

After some serious gayngst, a few love triangles, and other complications, they do begin properly dating and eventually get married. | |

Chapter 36 skips ahead about six months to a year.note It hasn't been clearly confirmed how long it's been, but that's the general estimation. Mei has left her home and school because she no longer feels she can be around Yuzu and keep to her family obligations, mainly the marriage thing. Matsuri and Nene are now enrolled in Aihara Academy, Himeko is the Student Council President, Maruta and Shiraho have graduated, and Maruta may be dating Mitsuko. | |

"Take That!" Kiss | |
Citrus (Manga) / int_341b1691 | comment |
"Take That!" Kiss: Mei and Yuzu's first kiss in Chapter 1. Early on, Yuzu saw Amemiya forcefully kissing Mei at school. Later at home, she taunts Mei about it, naively saying that kisses should be romantic, and Mei responds by kissing her in the same forceful way. This lets Yuzu know firsthand that the kiss with Amemiya was an awful experience. | |

Absurdly Powerful Student Council: Justified since Aihara Academy is a conservative school with beliefs that the students should be able to police themselves. Not to mention that Mei's family owns the school and she herself will be the one who will eventually become the school's chairman down the road. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: While many fictional Japanese high schools are fairly lax about the dress code, the same cannot be said for Aihara Academy. Yuzu stands out like a sore thumb when she refuses to wear the uniform properly, among myriad other violations of the dress code, and Mei and the other students in charge of enforcing the rules aren't interested in listening to her excuses. | |

Love Dodecahedron: Himeko, Yuzu, and Sara are in love with Mei. Mei, Matsuri, and possibly Harumin are in love with Yuzu. Yuzu can't decide if she wants to be Mei's sister or lover. Mei has issues with romance, among many others, and has a hard time interpreting the desires of others let alone her own. Matsuri would very much like to have both Yuzu and Mei. Himeko desperately tries to hate Yuzu, but starts to develop an unlikely friendship with her. | |

Arranged Marriage | |
Citrus (Manga) / int_80621707 | comment |
Arranged Marriage: Through her grandfather, Mei is engaged with a teacher named Amemiya in the first few chapters, although she clearly isn't enthusiastic about it, doing it for the school's sake. It's implied early on that most girls at the school are in arranged marriages for financial stability. Himeko and Shiraho confirmed the case is true for them and implies Mei is in one, too. In Chapter 35, Mei is engaged with Manager Udagawa, also by her grandfather, but this is canceled in Chapter 41. | |

Protagonist-Centered Morality: In the early chapters, Mei's fiancé, Amemiya, admits to not loving her and has a mistress on the side. Mei knows this and feels the same way towards him, and makes advances towards Yuzu. However, while Amemiya gets his adultery exposed in front of the entire school and is fired with his reputation in tatters, Mei never suffers any consequences, with no one even bringing up that she was cheating at all. | |

The Big Damn Kiss: Discussed; Yuzu wants a dramatic romantic first kiss like in manga. The first episode ends with a very long passionate kiss between Yuzu and Mei. While Yuzu and Mei have kissed several times before, the kiss in Chapter 8 is the most faithful to this. In Citrus Plus, there is one in the middle of the street between Matsuri and Harumin. | |

Citrus (Manga) / int_94be6b61 | comment |
Coordinated Clothes: Played for Laughs in the Yuri Hime 10th Anniversary extra where Ume bought matching underwear for her daughters. Sara and Nina gave matching shirts to Yuzu in Chapter 38. In Citrus Plus, Yuzu and Mei use them as pajamas. Yuzu and Mei have the same wedding dress during the Distant Finale. | |

Citrus (Manga) / int_985e118a | comment |
Odd Couple: Yuzu is gregarious, fashionable, and an academic slacker, while Mei is reserved, plain, and a top student. Harumin is kind and loyal, while Matsuri is cruel and manipulative. | |

Indirect Kiss | |
Citrus (Manga) / int_a33ff511 | comment |
Indirect Kiss: Played for Laughs when Himeko exaggerates the seriousness of Harumi feeding Yuzu her hot dog, before Harumi comments that she took it too seriously and feeds her a radish. It's then played straight once Yuzu wonders how it would feel if Mei did it instead of Harumi. Averted in Chapter 6 as Yuzu misses her chance to do it when she and Mei are eating crepes together. She gets the next best thing, though. In Chapter 10, Mei takes one from Yuzu through Matsuri, whom she saw kissing her before, and even tells Matsuri that she has taken back Yuzu's lips. As a Call-Back to Chapter 6, Chapter 27 has Mei missing her chance with crepes since she and Yuzu ordered the same flavor. | |

Absurdly Powerful School Jurisdiction | |
Citrus (Manga) / int_a3a32fd4 | comment |
Absurdly Powerful School Jurisdiction: Like some real life Japanese schools, Aihara Academy can punish students for seemingly innocuous offenses committed off-campus while in uniform. Yuzu and Harumi get cleaning duty for making stops on the way home, and are only caught because Mei noticed that Yuzu came home late. | |

Citrus (Manga) / int_b8ad38 | comment |
Blended Family Drama: The series heavily blends this with Flirty Stepsiblings. Yuzu's single mother remarries out of the blue, and Yuzu gets off on the wrong foot with Mei before even finding out that they're now stepsisters. Of course, their mutual attraction does throw a wrench into the whole "stepsisters" thing. Later, the manga also reveals that their parents' new marriage is a Sexless Marriage, and Yuzu's mother only married Mei's father so she could care for Mei. | |

Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Mei initially sees kissing as this, something she just does for no reason or meaning other than it being what (she thinks) people expect from her. Yuzu is no exception, though it did have the bonus of shutting her up. It's not until she starts to have feelings for Yuzu that the kisses start meaning something, much to her shock. | |

Unlike most examples, this is very much Played for Drama. | |

Gay Romantic Phase: Aihara Academy is something of a School Full of Gay. It's mentioned that this is because most of the girls are scheduled for Arranged Marriages and this is their last chance for freedom and excitement. Combine that with a One-Gender School, and you have a recipe for a lot of these. | |

He was a Gold Digger who was only in it for the high status it would grant him, and he has a lover that he is knowingly seeing behind Mei's back. | |

Not Blood Siblings | |
Citrus (Manga) / int_e68d9ddd | comment |
Of the Not Blood Siblings variety. It seems more one-sided on Yuzu's part, and outwardly Mei does her best to keep their relationship from going beyond sisterhood, despite being the one who usually initiates any intimacy. It's ultimately a very realistic portrayal as: They didn't meet until their mid-to-late teens, so they're not bound by the Westermarck Effect. They deal with all the conflicting drama of young love, with added angst from the fact that they're legal relatives. They still manage to earn their happy ending. | |

Mei's a good adulterer, because she's trapped in an unwanted Arranged Marriage, because she's one of the two leads, and because she's cheating with another girl. | |

Will They or Won't They?: Mei and Yuzu spend a good chunk of the early chapters teasing whether or not they will get together. Surprisingly, they officially started dating after Volume 4 (of 10), which gives the readers a good amount of time on their dating period. It becomes permanent when Mei accepts Yuzu's marriage proposal during the finale. | |
