So I personally believe Citrus is a disgusting anime that exists only to sexualize lesbians in a way that's really uncomfortable by making it about forcing kissing onto each other. It feels wrong, to me.
However! I can appreciate that some will go into Citrus looking for a yuri couple to enjoy. Be it for comfort, or just because you want to see two cute girls love.
Bloom Into You / Yagakimi is a more solid representation, focusing on an actual blooming romance between two characters, rather then lust.
So if you want something more romancey, please check out the latter.
Yagate Kimi ni Naru is a great Shoujo Ai and contains all the features of a forbidden lesbian relationship in a very conservative Japanese culture. Unlike the forbidden step-sister love of Citrus, Yagate Kimi ni Naru is confined to a first-year high schooler and her Senpai.
I definitely recommend watching both.
Both of these are yuri anime with similar relationship dynamics. Additionally, both shows plots' are essentially focused on the pure of heart and dumb of ass blonde character slowly having a sexual and romantic awakening towards the more experienced/streetwise (but surprisingly damaged) dark-haired character. However, Citrus is a fetish/fanservice anime at its core, while Yagate Kimi ni Naru is a lot more healthy and genuine about its relationships. If you were put off by these aspects of Citrus and want to see a more respectful and nuanced yuri show, then I fully recommend checking out Yagate Kimi ni Naru.
Be warned that YKNN's ending is somewhat

If you liked Citrus, Yagate Kimi ni Naru is an anime for you, a Shoujo Ai in genre, Yagate Kimi ni Naru keeps you engaged throughout the series, whereas I found Citrus sort of faded in quality after the first 4 or 5 episodes.
Both Shows Feature 2 Young High School Girls trying to find their romance. Both shows have the similar topics.

Both yuri, both worth the watch :) I enjoyed both Yagate Kimi ni Naru and Citrus and I believe that they should both have more spotlight, especially Yagate Kimi ni Naru
Both are Yuri anime with "Citrus" focused on the romance between step-sisters while "Bloom into You" is based on a high-school romance between a senpai and her kouhai.
Both shows involve pairing-up of a kind and free-spirited girl with our MC who has shackled herself to her past....and both anime revolve around how the free-spirited girl helps our MC to break-free of her self-induced shackles.
However, the resolution of this conflict is executed far better in "Bloom into You" than in "Citrus". While "Bloom into You" never loses it's edge in character development, "Citrus" begins to falter after six episodes with the introduction of unnecessary

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, and vice versa. 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. I think the writing in both stories is top tier and they are definitely worth watching.
They both are about girls coming of age and realizing their sexuality. They can both be seen developing their relationships and having an open ending that needs the manga to finish the resolution.
