稍微对Citrus有点了解的人都知道，Citrus具有非常明确的观众选择倾向，这不是一个商业片应该有的态度，真正的商业片不会放弃任何一个潜在的观众。
据我所知，Citrus无论在中日还是美国，好坏评价都是对半，有不喜欢百合的人骂Citrus是垃圾、也有直男癌、直女癌冒充百合厨骂Citrus是"令人尴尬的烂剧"。可以说只要是真正意义上的百合作品，都难以避免出现这种情况。尤其是Citrus这种话题度较高的作品，更是如此。
对于这种情况，与其去叫醒一个装睡的人，不如无视之。
Citrus非常不错啊，看了一集，马上找漫画，40x36的篇幅，一天就没了，大脑逐渐放空，只剩下满满的橘里橘气的~Citrus是真正超脱了各种打百合题材擦边球的轻百合范畴，同时也摆脱了硬百合要么讲不好故事，要么作画普通至极的低等质量水平。Citrus第一次用二次元喜闻乐见的语言，把女孩子之间的爱情，划重点，是爱情而不是各种乱七八糟的不明感情！用二次元喜欢的语言表达出来。这是真正做到了emotion expression（感情的表达）与Synopsis（剧情）的统一。总体逻辑是没什么问题的，每一个节点的设置都非常清晰，同时也为剧情走向留下伏笔，这样做的好处也是显而易见的——作者可以拥有较大的自由发挥空间。漫画本身并没有任何H，当然这是立足于kiss其实不算h的基础上说的。B站充满暗示性的宣传橘子各种h是不对的，我方强烈谴责这种行为。关于剧情分:漫画现在已经更新至35，其中17.5与17算一章。大家对二次元其实都有非常清晰的定位，那就是游离于主流文化，但是却与主流文化有着千丝万缕的关联。游离于主流文化圈，其实也就相当于把整个人类最优秀的作家都拒之门外。但是这并不意外着，二次元没有好作品，二次元好的作品同样可以获得主流文化圈的认可以及推崇。大家都是成年人来，阅读量早就破十亿了，而且其中不乏各种古今中外名著，如果自然科学类也要算上，就更没法比了。相比于自然科学类的内在联系与逻辑，Citrus自然没法比。从这个角度来说，要做出让正常成年人绝口称赞的漫画，其实非常非常难…尤其是剧情，Citrus也不例外。
剧情走向部分:35话足够把整个故事的细节讲述清楚，整个作品的格调，定性其实也可以猜出来。根据前面35话的走向，我个人用一条线把它划分成几个阶段。恋爱线:攻略芽衣-失败-再次攻略-柚子与芽衣的第一次成长（家庭）-柚子的青梅出现（小茉莉）-青梅vs芽衣青梅-小茉莉的祝福—芽衣与柚子的第二次成长（柚子）-学姐出现-芽衣vs学姐-芽衣的第三次成长（爱情的确立）-小茉莉再现（是再次成为剧情的主要推手而不是出现）-爷爷要求芽衣去相亲-茉茉莉小可爱黑化…………………………………………………………………………………………………………从以上这条线，我们很容易看出，Citrus已经接近尾声，一旦芽衣与柚子第四次成长完毕，这个故事就算完成了，而且Citrus没有走国产路线，所以可以排除一路升级打怪的可能性。甚至结束节点大概率是第四次成长以后的芽衣与柚子搞定家人（芽衣爸爸出现的唯二作用要来了），柚芽的爸爸肯定会第一个表态支持，柚芽也会在第四次困难期间获得成长，最终客服一切障碍走到一起。故事也将完结在第四次成长的终点！
按照Citrus的风格推断，12话内，漫画必完结！也就是2018年内，我们就可以看到结局。
在看漫画前，一直很好奇，芽衣怎么就真的接受了柚子了呢，毕竟，按照现实，这两个人产生交集就已经很不可思议了。直到这里:引用一个老外的评价就是:I fucking love Yuzu. Her decisions and thought processes are always on point in my perspective. Most of her actions makes absolute perfect sense to me. Even her moves on Mei make sense considering that she's just trying to figure out what she should do about her feelings, and those make her learning that love is not what Mei needs right now even more special. It's like she's the opposite of the typical dense MC. What a great character. Easily best girl for sure.
同样的芽衣对待自己的感情，还真是不软弱，第一次遇到情敌，她是这样做的:
第二次遇到柚子的"粉丝":
不说？naive!
柚子的第二次退学危机:在得知柚子为了纪念过世的爸爸而染发以后，芽衣在外力压迫之下，处理柚子的第二次退学危机，面对濒临崩溃的柚子，冷不丁的打强心剂，
最终，执法者当起了立法者
关于茉莉小可爱的事情:
小茉莉拥有全剧最高的颜值，她游走在"援jioa"的边缘，她直言3P，她讲H段子，但是这并不能掩盖她纯洁善良的本质。她是Citrus最重要的剧情推手，也是芽柚HE的最重要功臣，同时也是我本人最喜欢的角色。
出场style:脑回路清奇
茉莉与芽衣其实是同一种人，不同的是她们走向了走向两个极端，同样长期生活在非常自闭，压抑的生活中，但是都因为柚子得到救赎。茉莉初次出场是以柚子妹妹的名义，茉莉在Citrus中与柚子的相见其实充满暗示性:一场游戏，柚子心不在焉，犹豫不决，茉莉果决，专注，执行力Max。当时还是陌生人的情美小天使瞬间被茉莉吸引，同时小天使在与茉莉接触的第一时间就已经发现小茉莉的危险。我们都知道，小天使在这个漫画里简直是极端善良的代名词。茉莉所代表的不是恶，而是缺爱至极。小茉莉一见面就直言不讳，她通过"援jioa"手段，从大叔手里骗到了钱。这里其实是作者告诉读者，小恶魔来了，为什么是小恶魔？她小，她没有杀伤力，看似来势汹汹，其实就是个毫无杀伤力的小萝莉。但是在本剧中，她充当了黑白脸（两者皆有）。她一出场，就威胁芽衣，她企图赶走芽衣，她要独占姐姐，输掉以后，直言要芽柚带上她3P，她跟情美打架。但是这非但不能阻止我对她的喜欢，反而加深我我对她的兴趣。柚子治愈不了她，但是我猜，情美小天使可以……

Sup! :3 I don't usually write reviews, but I've been following citrus since the manga launched in 2012. I'm probabaly going to look crazy, but I've read every chapter at least 100 times—LOL not a lie. I've been waiting for an anime since then (Yay T.T it only took 5 years), and while I have a few reservations about the anime, I'm still super thrilled with the results.
Let me start of by saying citrus is a very deep anime.... It may not appear that way at first, but Saburo builds up everything so freakin well in the manga. And so far, the crew has been doing an excellent job following the manga with only a few subtle differences. I will warn you that there are some pretty strong themes in here, and some people may find them uncomfortable. Many of these themes are set up in the first episode:
Alarm………………………………………………………………………
- sexuality
- sexual abuse
- consent
- arranged marriages
- the "escalator system" vs free will
- incest
- first love
- communication and understanding
Gosh... I could go on...
Honestly, this isn't a slice of life casual yuri. It's a deep story about first love between two girls. It's got a lot of drama. And while there are mature themes, it has a lot of funny, happy, and beautiful heartfelt moments. These moments are smoothly intertwined with the darker ones (Isn't that how life is?). It's very well done. You also have two very different characters experiencing first love even though they come from different worlds. Yuzu is carefree, optimistic, and full of life, and then there's Mei who appears cold, aggressive, and distant because she's constricted and emotionally damaged. You see the girls and their relationship grow slowly. And I mean slowly. It makes sense since they are pretty different.
It's hard to find good yuri anime. And I personally feel like this is a great one and should not be missed—whether you watch the anime, read the manga, or do both! I'm female and gay, and from my experience, dating a girl is like a roller coaster because of all the intense emotions between each other. Citrus does an excellent job capturing that emotional roller coaster. It's an intense anime/manga (yet still light). So if you're into that *~* I think you'll enjoy it. (Who knows... maybe I'm the only one who finds it intense). But overall, Saburo does a wonderful job capturing all the different issues that come up in lesbian relationships.
I won't force you to read the manga, but I do recommend it. The art is beautiful... like seriously. If you think the anime is beautiful, seriously just google some images of the manga or something LOL.
My main reservation of the anime is regarding Mei. I don't know... I'm just so speechless at Mei's beauty in the manga, and I just feel like the anime art doesn't do her justice at all. In the manga, she can look like such a boss and make a beautiful entrance, or she can look vulnerable, classy, and intimidating too. She just has this untouchable “goddess” aura. I can't explain it, but she definitely looks different (art-wise) and gives off a slightly different vibe compared to the manga. In the anime, there are definitely scenes where I’ve cringed—that bathroom scene in episode 2 @-@. But I’m starting to wonder if the crew is doing that on purpose. I think they want us to cringe to show that Mei’s behavior and her way of thinking isn’t okay. If they softened or romanticized those aggressive moments, I think it would be difficult to take her behavior seriously, and it might even make it seem okay when it’s not. I really think Mei’s character was hard to adapt into an anime. She’s pretty complex—from her facial expressions and actions to the way she says things. Overall, the anime is still beautiful, like from the details put on the bathroom walls to Yuzu's eyes. I really didn’t expect it to be high quality. I had mixed feelings about Yuzu's voice, but it's actually not bad. Yuzu’s character is also pretty spot on.
I don't know about any three episode rule, but I can gurantee you the story builds up and gets better and better every episode/chapter. So keep watching *~*. I really hope they do a second season. Based on the promo and opening, it looks like it will end after the Tachibana arc, but ugh it gets sooo good after that arc >< *fangirls*.--Thie is reproduce
关于阅读量的争议，到底有没有十亿？
跟你说说我去年的情况，我给自己的要求是每周一本课外读物。（这一部分完全课外的读物是只看一遍的）。学校每年发的教材一年学校发教材起码40本（有些没教材是用讲义，不过即使是讲义，也足够厚），为准备某些考试（不是期末考），二十本（其中五本练习册）。其中专业拓展（programming in C, C和指针，c专家，算法入门，数据结构入门，top-down，code,sicp,element,DSAAIC，ML,DL,python三部曲，计造，cwag，十八讲)。一时间还真没办法完全回忆起来，这是印象最深刻的。这还没算reddit,zhihu,quora,stack exchange,medium,tieba,github，bbc，维基百科，人民网，线上小说网站，各大公众号等的阅读量呢。（电影电视剧漫画动画算不算阅读量？）
话说，你说的古龙，梁羽生，金老，古典名著，一般人在初高中就刷完了吧。看着一本砖头，以为很多，其实，真的很少啊，真正厉害了，反而是看似的薄薄一本。毕竟，一个成年人，已经活了18年了，我活了21年了…
