Really rushed ending, but I still enjoyed it overall. I just wish the story naturally flowed towards a wedding, instead of a time skip. We don't even know how long that time skip was.

Apparently a spin-off sequel will be released about their time as an actual couple, which would be great since this entire series has just been about them becoming a couple. Though not sure on how true this is. The spin-off is at least confirmed with the final page of the scans. The content of the spin-off? No idea.

It was kind of disappointing how everything was resolved so easily, but given the amount of drama the series had overall, I'd say it's a tad refreshing.

Although I have to agree the ending did feel rushed, I still enjoyed it and think it was a nice way to end the series. As well as how the final panel is them walking out of the chapel together I thought was really sweet.

I’m just glad that Mei kind of had a last stand trying to be tough. It was really true to her character and made it feel a bit more realistic since this ending felt rushed overall. The skip gave a nice color page but I didn’t enjoy not knowing when that was down the road. The spin off is confirmed like OP said but no idea what it will be about but I’ll certainly be on the lookout for it.

This was a great manga. I enjoyed this chapter. While it was rushed, I didn't think it would end. To me it could have gotten to chapter 50 and finished there instead of 41.

It was not a surprise to me since I (unfortunately) had already saw the last scene somewhere on Tumblr, though it did surprise me how fast things happened, and how easy was to solve their problems. Disappointed I'd say, I was expecting something more realistic, though I can't say I totally dislike it.



Not sure if I'm going to read the spin-off.

Oh damn. This was so rushed. I'm glad it ended, but there is much too much left to be desired. It went too well after all that trouble. My feelings went from "Damn it make up already!" to "...well that was a bit too easy..." I'm left wanting a bit more conflict and closure.

When I first started Citrus, I liked it, but the last 2-3 volumes have been painful. There was absolutely no character development. I wanted for once - JUST ONCE - for Mei to be the one running after Yuzu. But our delightful blonde spent the entire of the series chasing after Mei.

3/10 Mei ruined it all with her goddamn awful character.

It was rushed as hell. Like Mei was all "Leave me" throughout the whole chapter and out of a sudden she accepted and they even got married. IDK this was such a good Manga so what's with the rushed ending? But overall it was still a great Manga and seeing those two in their bride dresses was sweet

Why does MAL say there are a total of 50 chapters even though there are only 41?

Kinda gald it had a rushed ending, the drama was dragged out for way too long. Still don't quite understand what their parent's relationship is though seeing as they didn't marry because they love each other. That last page was super nice though.

was a nice way of ending things was rushed but it was for the better imo because how things was going it was getting really dragged out and really annoying so i am glad it ended when it did

with that said now that thats over and they are finally together now we got citrus+ to look forward to which was confirmed to be a sequel so im looking forward to seeing their story as a true couple now and what new encounters they're gonna run into

really something to look forward to

That was as rushed as an ending as it possibly could've been, but given the advanced announcement that this would be the last chapter, it wasn't too surprising. We wanted a happy ending, the author came through for us, so I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy the finale. The artwork was amazing, same as always.

We all wanted the happy ending we got. Loved it...but certainly way too rushed! It's a shame, since the pace has been slow but firm and now the "biggest threat" they had to face in the whole manga is solved so quickly? And the happy ending lasted what 4 pages? (and no sex scene?)
Stil, I enjoyed it and the fact that a spin-off is coming is a great news. I hope we see a little more of this "happy ending" and I hope that the main characters will be Harumin and Matsuri... *_*

this made me so happy! rushed or not, they got a happy ending!! they are doing what they want with their lives and surrounding themselves with people who love and support them! i dont understand what yall were expecting XD but i could not have asked for a better ending for these two girls!!

also, i was literally squealing at page 22 where matsuri is obviously making a dirty comment about yuzu's long nails XD absolutely priceless!


cant wait for the spinoff! i need more of these characters especially matsuri XD

and a cute little detail i noticed: yuzu's middle school friends where at the wedding on the last page :')

rushed ending as everyone has said, but at least i'm glad to know there'll be a spinoff

the art stayed pretty consistent to the end which was good, also really liked the coloured pages.

could've been better in many ways and for me personally characters and narrative were the weakest part of the story but since im a yurifag i can enjoy stuff like this so 6/10

I can't believe it's over. It felt like it's been such a long ride and adventure, and a wild rollercoaster one at that. I think it'll take time to sink in the fact that it's over and to fill this void, but I'm at least happy that'll be getting a spin-off (sequel) soon enough, and that we got the happy ending they deserved.

Rushed ending, but I'd be lying if I said Mei completely opening up herself and the whole marriage didn't make me squeal inside. Honestly quite satisfied despite the rushed ending. I'm such a sucker for these things and happy endings.

It had its flaws, but I can't help but feel like this work was something special as the story and characters pulled me in like an addiction, plus the absolute beautiful art. Could reread it as much as I'd want. Gonna miss it so much. 10/10.

Looking forward to the next Citrus spin-off, and hopefully that won't be something short.

Yuzu chased after Mei for the 100th time wow what a surprise Saburotrash, such a lazy shit writing

Mei will create drama, Yuzu will solve it, Yuzu will chase after Mei, Mei will chase away Yuzu, Yuzu will try harder. Rinse and repeat, Saburotrash you're such zealous and creative author sarcasm

it should've ended in 16 chapters, after chapter 16 the it's nothing but tease galore and the plot stop progressing for 10 chapters continuously

Also, effing Mei, she's a poorly written character made to be complicated for the sake of being complicated, lazy shit writing at its finest, thank you Saburoutrash

1/10 this shit is hot garbage, the perfect example of overrated trash

Could have shown us some more of the reactions of the people around them. As it was, the silent montage felt quite a bit like just Yuzu's fantasy and I half expected it to end with Mei saying no again. Still, not too bad an ending, if not as good as it could have been.

That ending was way too rushed and had zero emotional impact. Also, how the fuck did they marry and how was everyone okay with it? They might not be blood related but they're still sisters. How could their parents not be against? And then there's Mei's grandfather who would definitely oppose their wedding. There's also the fact that they're minors, they can't fucking marry ffs. Ugh, I hate anime logic in non-fantasy genres, it's just lazy writing and doesn't make any fucking sense. If Saburo Uta wanted them to marry she could've used a time skip and wasted a few pages to explain how everyone was okay with it and it would've been a million times better. Siiiiiiigh~

It also baffles me how this manga gets so much praise and is touted as one of the best, if not the best yuri manga. It also gets praised for tackling a "mature theme" when it doesn't at all. The whole pseudo-incest theme was never properly explored in this manga, the plot was all about Mei being an awkward girl and Yuzu trying to get her to open up. This kind of story has been done to hell and there's nothing mature about it.

If you think Citrus is good and mature and whatever, go read Octave. It will blow your mind.

The end doesn't do justice to the story. There was really no scene in the chapter, that made you feel those relatable intense first love emotions, that you got the first volumes of the story. Was also disappointed with Mei, because yes she is a prideful and stubborn character, but where in the whole story has she acted on that loved that supposedly changed her so much? I was honestly waiting for Mei to be the one to do something to save their relationship, a result of all the love received and experiences lived throughout the story.

Not sure how to feel about the sequel... Would have preferred to have a good paced, more developed and thought closure to this story than to have a rushed unimpactful ending and get a sequel.

Aww too cute to be real. I still don't know why it's tagged as yuri when it's truly more shoujo-ai. My first girls love story and I'm satisfied with my choice. 8/10
Citrus+ should be about Matsuri tho. You can't change my mind.

On the disappointed side here. Really had followed this from the start. Couldn't reach true sympathy to any of the characters, especially Mei. I'm just sad Yuzu never made grown from being a horse with blinders in which she can't look anywhere else but what's in front

That went from 0 to 100 really quickly. One panel Mei is oushibg Yuzu away, a couple of panels after and boom!! They are married and nothing ever happend in between.
Overall: i feel a little disapointed that it difnt try to tackle the obsticales of beeing gay or anythibg like it. Its just the typical boy meets girl, they fall in love, she is royal, he makes a fool out of himself and interupts girl and her fiancé and they marry. Only this time its girl meets girl... nah who the hell am i kidding, i came for yuri and nothing else and got yuri, and a little drama sprinkled between the yuri moments. Cant complain actually

This was even worst than I though!
Final arc had alot of promise and it is all wasted in these final 3 chapters!!
Thank god there is a sequel coming, otherwise would I have been really, REALLY salty about the treatment this awesome yuri series got, now I m just mad.

Here was myself thinking we would be graced with at least 40-50 pages for the last chapter but damm, too rushed doesnt even fit it, the mangaka was really coward showing all those sequences, it would have left me unconfortable Mei confronting her grandpa but it was needed, same for all the other scenes the manga just skipped like that.

Sure it was cute, but the manga has handed drama much better before (although it was at the beggining), and suddently both are married from nowhere? Sure it was nice, full colour even, but damm.

I m surely didnt expect it to be such a rush. Curious to see how the sequel will tackle this.

Had 9.1 overall, this made me drop to 8.9, still my favorite yuri series BUT RETARDED way to conclude it for sure!

Saburouta, you gotta make it right with that sequel, you gotta...

I just caught up to the end and can't say I'm unsatisfied. This manga always had a habit of creating nigh insurmountable odds that get defeated by yuzu being quirky. I'm glad that in the final confrontation Mei had to put in some work. Everyone being happy for them and approving was kinda ehh but again pretty much fit what this manga was going for so cant complain too much. I am interested in a sequel manga about them as a married couple.

As others have said, loved the ending, but definitely felt rushed. I also wish we could have seen way more of things to come. Wonder if they adopt a kid. I mean, I'm sure they will want a child at some point, especially if Mei wants to continue the family legacy with the school and whatnot.

I have similar sentiments. I enjoyed the series quite a bit with the low points being the Sara arc and how they rushed the ending. I found everyone to be a bit too accepting which kind of put a damper on things. Like not even a single struggled acceptance or temporary denial e.g. "you will get over it" type stuff.

However, regarding the time skip - this was just fan service after the end in a couple of pages. Not really the true ending which was when they confessed and got back together. Looking forward to Citrus+ if this really is about their difficulties as a couple.
