Yagate Kimi ni Naru addpermalink

Yuri with quite similar characters' appearances/development, however the characters' personalities are practically swapped in each series.  Smart dialogue with nothing too cliche as you may see in other shoujo.

Both are initially one-sided shoujo-ai/yuri where each girl faces psychological problems of her own. Citrus is bit more sexual (nothing graphic), dramatic, and cliche than Yagate, but still similar. Both mention the secrecy of lesbian relationships and both have one girl trying to help the other through family problems. Almost identical settings as well, student council president and all.

Both are shoujo-ai with similar characters' appearances, but the personalities are swapped.

I think Citrus and Yagate Kimi ni Naru are the best stories currently in the yuri genre; if you enjoyed the former I think you'll very likely enjoy the latter. Both do a very good job of creating a cohesive, intricate, and ever-evolving narrative around the story's main couple. While YagaKimi is not the melodrama Citrus is, it uses a more typical dramatic style and is even a bit dry at times, it is still very compelling and emotionally gripping. YagaKimi's overall narrative quality is comparable to Citrus, and I would definitely recommend checking it out.

Both have Yuri 
One of the main character is a member of the student council 
Some characters look similar
There is a President and Vice President which is like Touko and Saeki from Yagate Kimi ni Naru and Mei and Himeko from citrus.

This one is likely to come up, and there is a good reason.
Both feature a plot about girls falling in love in early high school and go deep about the feelings involved. The main couple is a seemingly insensitive girl and a and a more "happy-go-lucky" one.
The main difference however, is the plot is told mainly from the OTHER one of our romantic couple. 
Similar length, very entertaining, it's a fun read.

same genre except the forbidden love idea has become a representation of asexual "love?"

Girl Friends addpermalink

Both these manga are shoujo-ai/yuri, have extremely cute art styles and a tiny bit of ecchi. Both manga give off the same feeling when reading and are set in all girl high schools. If you like one you'll certainly like the other!

Domestic na Kanojo addpermalink

Similar story and setting, but Citrus is a yuri. Both are a romance where two people are forced to be step-siblings and live under the same roof, but start to develop feelings for each other. Both have clashing romantic interests as well.

Tatoe Todokanu Ito da toshitemo addpermalink

Both this and Citrus have that same element of forbidden love– in the case of Tatoe Todokanu Ito da toshitemo it's a girl in love with her brother's wife. Reading both felt very natural and the character relationships were both well developed– there were elements of angst and small interactions that made them feel very organic (I should mention that Tatoe Todokanu Ito da toshitemo is veeeeery angsty). I can't argue that the other recommended manga are good yuri reads but reading Tatoe Todokanu Ito da toshitemo felt the most like reading Citrus (as an avid yuri reader I can attest to this). The artwork is also very nice so it won't be too jarring to read after experiencing the amazing art of Citrus. read more

Netsuzou TRap addpermalink

NTR & Citrus are both Yuri series focusing on the developing relationships of two school girls. NTR focuses mainly on two girls who are in relationships with boys but secretly like each other. While Citrus focuses on two girls who are also step sisters who develop feelings for each other over time. They both have sexual scenes but NTR is more heavy on it than Citrus. NTR & Citrus both have high drama & suspenseful chapters. Also, aesthetically, a blonde girl is in love with a black haired girl (my favorite trope).

Kashimashi: Girl Meets Girl addpermalink

I like both of these animes. They are both kind of slow-paced but you end up really feeling for the characters. If you like shoujo ai I recommend both.

SQ: Begin W/Your Name! addpermalink

Both of these series are really, really funny. They also both focus on one couple, who are learning to navigate their feelings. Citrus is a little more melodramatic but they both have a ton of sweet moments. They are my two favorite yuri series by far. I would also recommend Pulse and Lily Love by Ratana Satis. I can't find them on MAL (they are Thai) but they are both excellent as well.

Sasayaku You ni Koi wo Utau addpermalink

Both mangas have similar approaches to romance - the characters are allowed to think and explore what love and dating mean to them and if it fits with what they heard from other people. Both feature romances between girl main characters. While Citrus is as melodramatic Yuri soap opera, Whisper Me A Love Song has a more light-hearted approach. Whisper Me A Love Song It has become one of my favourite mangas when I think about Shoujo-Ai lately. I surely recommend it.

Happy Sugar Life addpermalink

If you want more physiological version.

Nikurashii hodo Aishiteru addpermalink

I think that the plot here is the same as the love story between Mei and Yuzu where Mei was initially a prison of her family's and society's wishes and expectations until she realized that she has to leave that behind because Yuzu showed a world where she can enjoy not only herself but also their relationship with each others. 

This anime also features a yuri couple, and the intimate scenes here is as not as emphasized compared to Citrus.

Dekisokonai no Himegimi-tachi addpermalink

Same genre and similar plot(a cheerful gal meets a melancholic girl and they develop feelings for each other). Even if Kurokawa and Fujishiro don´t discover their feelings until the end(unlike Citrus where Yuzu an Mei discover their feeling for each other half-way through the story) it is a very satisfying journey. Both manga feel similar to me, so if you liked one you should give the other one a shot(even though in my opinion Citrus is a bit more dramatic than Dekisokonai no Himegimi-tachi, but the second one is not borderline incestuos... so there is that XD).

Namaikizakari. addpermalink

*Citrus = Yuri, if you hate it don't even bother reading
Why? both of them have a rebellious guy / girl who falls in love with a cold "heartless" girl, both of them have pretty similar romance between them, similar art too.
However, Citrus is more dramatic while Namaikizakari is more comedic and funny.
(sorry for my bad english)

Strawberry Panic addpermalink

Strawberry Panic & Citrus are both Yuri genres following two girls who have feelings for each other. SP follows more relationships besides Nagisa & Shizuka but Citrus follows one relationship throughout the series. Both series are following a girl who is trying to figure out her romantic feelings toward another girl.

Blue Friend addpermalink

Both these manga are shoujo-ai/yuri and have extremely cute art styles. Blue Friend is slightly darker than Citrus but are somewhat similar to the other in how they make you feel when reading them. If you like one you'll certainly like the other!

Inaccessible black haired girl falls in love with blond one and starts opening her heart? Hell yes.

Both are funny romance manga.
Reading Hapi Mari gave me the same vibe as Citrus.
