Good episode. Mei rekindles her relationship with her dad, seemingly parting on a good note as he leaves again. Also the yuri scene were very nice as well. Was hoping for Mei to actually finger Yuzu but i guess that was too much to ask.

Am looking forward to the next episode.

Ugh, I did not enjoy this episode. Mei's dad is a cool guy and all but Mei's development felt forced for some reason. Yuzu is just straight up annoying and tries way too hard for someone who doesn't even remotely care for her, that was shown in the scene in which Yuzu slapped Mei in.

I just think that this is a bad series, not because of them being lesbians but because of its characters and their development. I don't see the same Yuzu that we saw in ep 1 anywhere and she was kinda interesting.

Caring for someone does not mean that you have to be okay with being forced.

Some good development on Mei's character this episode, that kiss at the end is a sign she really does have feelings for Yuzu. I wonder what will happen next.

Harumin always there to help Yuzu, if she wasn't around, Mei and Yuzu wouldn't have been able to see their dad off. Overall, great episode!

Best episode so far, I absolutely loved it! Yuzu's faces in the pictures were hilarious. Her and Harumi's chemistry is just one of the best things I've ever seen, lmao.

And looks like Matsuri finally made her appearance as well, oh oh. I really gotta get used to her voice. It's not exactly what I had in mind....

Well Mei definitely got a lot more characterization this episode.
It was nice to see Yuzu being more assertive and Mei being the more emotionally vulnerable one, if only for a while!

And that was an A grade kiss at the end right there. Things are definitely getting interesting!

That girl at the end is so obviously gonna be planted there to add more drama but tbh I can't find myself even minding because I genuinely enjoy the crap outta this anime!

This episode was amazing like all the others. Just like episode 5, you have the heartwarming scenes and i really like Shou hes a cool guy. I also feel for the characters so much. I seriously feel the love between Yuzu and Mei becoming more solid. Also i kinda think Shou supports it. Also the almost sex scene was funny. Better than cumming on your friend's comatose body.

Whole father x daughter reunion and everything, it was weird... as all those forced kisses. The way she's now, the way she's experience with sex and men, it's almost like her father abused her somehow. Not to mention his smirk towards her the last time. And if this assumption is false then why did they even introduced him when her trauma is based elsewhere? This development really made no sense and characters are developed just for the sake of script.

Enter the random rival girl again. In the end, I really don't know what this series tries to be, either it's like Sakura Trick and should ditch all the drama in favour of fanservice or it's more like Netsuzou Trap but not quite. It really feels like the story was like your usual fanfiction.

HARUMIN HAS OPPAI!


So Mei uses her kisses to escape her problems or something? Well I guess she looked up to her father until he changed his ways and left her behind. It's the dad's fault! But at least they made up.

Yuzu being good girl again. She's got guts. Loved the bicycle scene too...but...isn't it illegal for two people to be riding a bike? And they took that across the city...

New character introduced. Pink hair and headphones. And she knows Yuzu? Are we getting another Triangle?

I didn't consider her father to be like that at any time last episode but I'm not gonna lie that in every episode, at some point, I was wondering if something really happened to Mei when she was younger I mean, she is/was so emotionless and so sexually abusive towards Yuzu... I don't know.

And now, we probably are gonna have another love triangle just to bother Mei for the next couple of episodes... yay?...

I thought this episode revealed the underlying story of this anime, Mei's relationship with her father and how she wants to bring him back to the academy or something... But that was short-lived, and it's gone back to being just a Yuri themed anime 😭.
So does that mean the plot is yuzu and Mei developing their relationship

Yeah, makes me wonder why Harumin is left at sideline. She is easygoing character and drama-free or it seems.

Now, the father/sensei complex is left behind, can we get some cheerful and lively Mei dosage? Or else newcoming girls will steal Yuzucchi.

Oh my god...
Their face are so out of shaped...
This episode is by far the worst, and it's going to pull down the rating so much
So... Mei is just totally a daddy's gril (which is no t wrong in usual, but so wrong with her character setting)
Mei's dad is just a scumbag who solve nothing and always leave behind his family (he shouldn't marry anyone if he can't take responsibility)
Matsuri, I just have a glance of her, I like her pink hair, but her voice doesn't suit her, and her motive is just so cliche
Harumi is the best gril, she always take care of Yuzu although she seems emo all the time, and always supportive. Just an angel without any purpose, so unrealistic

This is so cringe... I was waiting for the finish just after 5 minutes from start

its explicitly told in the manga that harumi has absolutely no romantic interest in yuzu, and its heavily implied she is actually straight. i feel your pain though

Well. The manga has yet to end, and it has 35+ chapters. So no, you will not see an ending, as the main "problem" Yuzu and Mei have to overcome has yet to be solved even in the manga. But you can bet that it will have a second season soon enough, as both the manga and anime are doing great. I think Citrus is the most popular yuri manga out there

think the source is a LN and not a manga ? eitheir way LN/manga/ect. rates mean nothing to the anime, it is true they wanna ride that popularity but they will continue only if they feel they did it and that they can make more.
I see really low chances of an s2


The chances are high. If the sales are good, there will be a second season. That's how it is

Read the manga. What is there not to understand. And by the way, Mei is not experienced with sex nor men. She is just as virgin as Yuzu is. She is from a rich family, so that teacher from episode 1 was the dude she was supposed to marry. Through arranged marriage. She worked to keep the school running, so that her father could take over it, but the father wants to teach students around the world, and not just at that school. She was not abused. The father left because he had a dream, and the daughter was left with the grandpa who runs the school

He did not. *SPOILER* He was once at a bar and he was venting his problems to a random woman (who was Yuzu's mom). He told her that he feels bad for putting his daughter through this, and that he wishes for her to have a normal family. So then the mother said "Then i'll take care of her for you" and then boom.

Her mom marries a guy who then takes off and goes all over the world and the Mom is ok with that? Its just one character after another that is bad shit crazy with no sense at all.

Usually I hate short hair, but Matsuri is just God tier next to Rikka from Chuunibyou. Hope she’s kinky 3.3

She is very possessive and crazy, so yeah you will definitly get what you want from her.
But IMO it was when she was introduced, that the plot started to feel like it wasnt progressing in the direction I wanted it to go, so I really am not that hyped for the next episodes...

Yep it will, that NTR will fuck with some dude's heads pretty good, though by the end, I ended up welcoming her too (for that menage a trois).


This episode is the best, even better than ep1, while they adapted almost the same number of pages they did on the previous one, there was a major different here:
- First the pacing for key scenes was just great;
- Secondly, seems like "light" was finally made and the studio reached the conclusion that they need to insert some really good background songs for the drama moments, that just nail it in delivering the emotions the manga manages to deliver with its art, and THEY DID IT!!

Seriously, episode 5 could have been so much better if they had used some good ost on that graveyard scene... on this episode when Yuzu sees Mei crying, that scene was so much more powerful than it the manga, and the whole follow up was just amazing, better than the manga, it was alluring yet disturbing when Mei calls Yuzu easy, it was a powerfull scene in conveying on much Mei was broken (and it was cute to see Yuzu embracing her so dearly).

The whole scene with the dad had a more natural pace to it than the manga ever had, you can see the studio likes the manga, and can add little details to make this adaptation break free from the manga.

Last scene, the kiss, I would only change the fact that I would prefer like they done in the manga, where we see their eyes locking on each other and getting close, like both were enchanted by eachother, then their mouths connect, and also afterwords, we didnt see Yuzu feeling that shy and blanked out like she did on the manga, that was EXTREMELY ADORABLE!
Here:


So while the other scene surpassed the manga, this one did its own thing, with some room for improving (the other was perfect!) while still being a great scene that nailed this turning tide for Mei & Yuzu's relationship.
Bravo Passione, bravo!

As for the next arc, I dont believe it will engage me as much since the manga IMO had its own problems with it, but if they manage to improve some stuff I m all on gears for that.

I feel very lucky to have seen an adaptation to Citrus coming out and doing everything that it did to this point, what an amazing year for yuri so far!

Considering how before this episode's events she's pretty much idolized her father and lived to keep the school ready for his return, I really don't see anything pointing to the father in this regard. If anything, her by now gone fiance's pretty horrible behavior is to blame for this.

Let me start off by saying that I'm so glad this isn't, as a certain anime youtuber would put it, "trash" anime. Which tbh, I really thought it was going to be lol.

What I really like about this show is how it feels like I can empathize with these characters. Yuzu is trying to figure out all of her emotions for Mei; Mei is trying to figure out how to be her own person. Both of them are negotiating their feelings towards one another.

I'm really glad that this episode cleared up the situation between Mei and her Dad, because all the build up to him coming back made me think there was some previous abuse between him and Mei, but I'm glad that's been cleared up. I'm also so glad to see Yuzu and Mei's relationship begin to blossom into something mutual between the two of them <3 It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside :)

Do you honestly believe she would turn like this if she was not abused or something? We were shown she had pretty nice childhood so something had to go wrong. If the father wasn't the reason, then Chekhov's gun I say - don't introduce him at all.

Also, it's nice some things are explained in the manga but the anime does really bad job then, leaving imporatant parts out - or - portraying both main heroines with slightly different characters. And I'm commenting the anime not the manga. So far the series only convinced me that it would be a lot better if they left all the drama out as they are bad at it (compared to great Kuzu no Honkai for example or Maria-sama ga Miteru) and if they focused on harmless slice-of-life and fanservice only.
