Synopsis

During the summer of her freshman year of high school, Yuzu Aihara's mother remarried, forcing her to transfer to a new school. To a fashionable socialite like Yuzu, this inconvenient event is just another opportunity to make new friends, fall in love, and finally experience a first kiss. Unfortunately, Yuzu's dreams and style do not conform with her new ultrastrict, all-girls school, filled with obedient shut-ins and overachieving grade-skippers. Her gaudy appearance manages to grab the attention of Mei Aihara, the beautiful and imposing student council president, who immediately proceeds to sensually caress Yuzu's body in an effort to confiscate her cellphone.

Thoroughly exhausted from her first day, Yuzu arrives home and discovers a shocking truth—Mei is actually her new step-sister! Though Yuzu initially tries to be friendly with her, Mei's cold shoulder routine forces Yuzu to begin teasing her. But before Yuzu can finish her sentence, Mei forces her to the ground and kisses her, with Yuzu desperately trying to break free. Once done, Mei storms out of the room, leaving Yuzu to ponder the true nature of her first kiss, and the secrets behind the tortured expression in the eyes of her new sister.

This anime will always be my guilty pleasure. The relationship between Mei and Yuzu is so good(in a toxic way) and I forever defend the anime adaptation. The pacing is solid with consistent fan service and lovers quarrels to keep viewers engaged. The character cast is fine, albeit underdeveloped (besides Yuzu and Mei). Yuzu is extremely well developed and her mission to understand her and Mei's feelings is very genuine an beautiful. Mei is a bit more linear, being the 2nd protagonist, but this is not to say she does not make significant changes over the course of the show. The first "antagonist" is meh ...

Mixed Feelings
NOTICE: this review isn't really in-depth on the anime, it more so determines whether or not you will like/should watch this series. The first page review by Altoroark or whatever his name is gives a really insightful analysis of the show so I would recommend you to read that review after this if you believe you might watch, as it tells the true nature of the show rather than examining it at surface level like most of the idiot reviewers like the most recent one prior to mine.

This show is the definition of hit-or-miss. I'm not into yuri but I was getting a lot ...

In the vast array of anime, each has its own nuances and particularities. “Citrus” stands out for its exploration of lesbian relationships, although I personally found it to fall a bit short of my expectations. With a rating of 5/10, it's obvious that this anime didn't quite manage to capture my interest in the same way that other works have.

At the heart of “Citrus,” the story of Yuzu Aihara and Mei Aihara takes place in a complex school setting where their relationship blossoms into something deeper and romantic. The anime touches on important themes such as self-acceptance, but unfortunately its narrative pace seemed too slow ...
