NORMIES but yeah, nerds have a huge persecution complex because why yes, your interests are kinda weird, so there is over-compensation to kind of be the opposite of what they perceive as the norm.

Matsuri is a trash bitch and that's why she rules.

It's less that Matsuri herself is good than that people want to see Harumi own her more.

matsuri is good because of the inherent realization that her actions were due to society giving her no tools for properly expressing lesbian attraction or her sexuality and the understanding that while the things she did were supremely hosed up, there isnt really a point in punishing her because itd just make her more resentful and force her out of the one group that might accept her, so instead she gets lightly owned with the understanding that she will continue to be owned until she stops being an rear end in a top hat. in conclusion, destroy capitalism.

I think the way she treats Mei alone is enough to put her in the "never speak to me again" zone, and after she mellows out it still seems like I have no idea why anyone would put up with her. I hope she's resentful and leaves forever because why would anyone want to be around her.

I like Matsuri because I find her capacious, trollish personality to be cute. I dated a girl like that once, and it was probably one of my better relationships. :shrug:

Edit: Harumi is a good girl though

Edit2: to be fair I don't think I liked Citrus very much in general but mostly just because I didn't like Mei. Not to say I don't appreciate her at all because I feel like Citrus does do to effort to show why she is the way she is but for a character whose most visible character traits are forcing uncomfortable/nonconsensual intimate situations on people, hostility and the silent treatment, it's really hard to sympathize with her for a while/ever.

I totally agree. My biggest problem with Citrus is Mei sucked the life out of every scene she was in.

By all signs Yuzu still likes her and Harumi seems to at least be interested in her, if not romantically. (As opposed to Matsuri blatantly having a thing for Harumi)

Holy poo poo it's still ongoing?

About 4 years ago I voraciously read the first ~180 chapters. Then the author introduced some edgy vampire(?) dude and I got distracted by other manga. Kyouko is easily my favorite shoujo protagonist.

I've still been keeping up with Skip Beat, but it's definitely gone on far too long.

It does get released and translated regularly every month though.

because corporate fatcats are the only people that benefit when the proletariat infight

also i didnt like mei much at the start but she turned things around towards the end, and i think her being so standoffish at the start made the scenes where her and yuzu actually bonded really impactful

of course you gotta give it some initial buy-in of 'why would yuzu keep trying' but eh

Yeah, I could never really get past that buy-in myself with Citrus, which is really a shame. I loved Yuzu and wanted to root for her, but Mei and really most of the supporting characters not named Harumi kind of wore at my patience.

It has that problem that I found with the major shounen titles had (like Bleach and Naruto for instance) which is introducing too many unnecessary plot threads and suddenly more characters. That said, the core of the premise is still there to be fair, but it's just been dragging itself out way too long for me to really care anymore.

The cute eldritch horror romance manga updated. It is such a shame that it is monthly. I just really like the weird situations in this manga and would like to read more of it.

Chapter 6

EDIT: I really like how the vagrant's body forms question marks in the very last panel. It makes it one of my favorite panels.
