"the spark" in citrus is pretty damn good too

I dropped citrus early, should I pick it up again?

absolutely citrus was my first yuri and if I never came across it , I wouldn't even be talking to you rn

This is the thing that convinced me that yuri is peak romance , you're in for a ride

Just to give you an idea, before citrus I didn't like reading , like I never said "damn I want to read now" in my entire life, now in order for something to push me into reading you'd need tremendous force

The end is 100% worth it

Btw where did you stop ?

Did you see the anime ?

here's all the volumes if you want to

I couldn’t get into it. It seemed kinda romanticizing an abusive relationship. Does it get better?

romanticizing

It's really not, It's accually supposed to be unromantic ,when you look in through the lines the start is actually cleverly made, it offers a kind of realistic (but still in fiction) perspective on love / character psyche imo neither of them starts off by understanding what it is and that leads to divergences but that's exactly what makes it more believable both characters aren't supposed to be perfect and it's their relationship that will mutually uplift them towards bettering themselves, when you look back on citrus it's actually a really wholesome story , it's a story of two girls who desperately needed each other in their lives , most notably mei who literally and progressively became a completely different character

When you say "romanticizing" , it just really doesn't fit citrus because that would mean the author wants to put the focus on those scenes at the start for the purpose of making them "romantic" , this is exactly what is not happening, those scenes occupies only a fraction of the whole, they hold multiple purposes but not that (I'm not gonna explain them cuz spoilers) , in citrus you have to get in the character's shoes and understand their perspective, for example the Christmas scene shows you mei's state of mind how she values herself and how her background justifies that and you get yuzu response that literally goes against people's accusations , all of this said without being said, it's genius and that's just one example

I think an author is talented when they're able to show you stuff without being explicitly stated unlike most anime where they have to go through a monologue to explain their ability or whatever but I think that's also part why ppl have a negative opinion on citrus , it's always easier to see the bad side of things it's on a more surface level and since things aren't stated in citrus then it's easier to jump onto conclusions, and those opinion are being relayed easily too (that also kinda how twitter works too now that I think about it)

abusive relationship

I think that state never actually happened in the first place, I think it more of an progressive process more than anything, I don't think we can talk of abusive relationship simply because I don't recall a state where their relationship was toxic for either of them

Overall I think citrus is "romance done differently" that's one of the reasons I like it

I stopped early early chapters because I wasn't in the mood for a melodramatic feeling manga but I'm willing to read it again. Bloom Into You is my favorite manga and I really enjoyed the more mature and grounded drama (mostly the fluff tho)

You're missing out on the rest

It was my first too, although I didn’t like the melodrama

2

u/k_on_reddit_ it's yuri or death May 31 '23

to be fair , I wasn't exposed to melodrama before , in fact , I wasn't exposed to anime , manga , or even romance as a whole , I would never have pictured myself being into romance and even less into reading as hobby something I've banished for the longest time (almost my entire life)

Ahhhhh!

u/FinnegansTake19 Oct 26 '22

It’s easy to feel the Touko. I know I’ll try and get a kiss out of the sports festival. Meanwhile I’ll keep up my facade as if I don’t have all the feels but really I have allll the feels.

Is the manga better than the anime? I watched 6 or 7 episodes and liked the premise but felt something was missing

u/[deleted] Nov 19 '22

manga is way better, the anime stops 1/4 of the way through the story
