Citrus

Undoubtedly, the character who got all the attention was precisely the main one, Yuzu, her personality and charisma make you keep wanting to see a little more. Although sometimes I thought she was very insistent when Mei was rude to her, but I guess that's how love feels. Another character that I also liked was Harumi, without a doubt a loyal and loving friend. I really liked the story.

I will say, this has came as a surprise for me. I have never heard of Yuri and didn't watch anime in general yet this grabbed me and didn't let go. I even went out and bought all the manga because I enjoy the complicated characters so much. There are a lot of things going on behind the scenes. Give it the three episode treatment. You may just enjoy it as much as me. Cheers!

Cute and interesting, pretty art and good storyline. i loved this anime and it convinced me to read the manga, so i can't wait to see how they animate the next pert (hopefully season 2!)

Citrus was a very average anime for me, which means I overall enjoyed it and wouldn't mind watching it again in the future. The show does a good job with the main character, making it easy to follow and root for her. The same cannot be said for her sister; however, as I found her character and motivations to be inconsistent and extremely hard to follow. Its almost like she has two different personas that pop in and out at random times, and it made it difficult for me to get behind her character. The show also throws in quite a bit of story tropes that you would typically find in this genre. Luckily, the strong character moments really help out here and make it so I can give the tropes a pass for the most part. I think you would likely have a good time watching Citrus, but I would also say there's no rush to check it out.

Yuzu Aihara is an easy going girl who finds her dyed blonde hair and dress sense aren't appreciated at her new school; particularly by student council president Mei Aihara. Yuzu has changed schools because her mother has remarried; she gets quite a shock when she learns that Mei is her new step-sister! To make matters worse they have to share a room. Yuzi is further shocked when Mei kisses her; she says it was just to shut her up but soon Yuzi realises she is starting to develop feelings for Mei. As the series progresses it frequently looks as if they will get together as a couple then complications arise.

This series is rather sweet; the lead characters are suitably different which creates some tension and makes one wonder how it will all work out... it isn't until the final episode that we learn if they will become a couple. The way Yuzi is tentative about telling Mei how she feels about her is very believable; she hasn't been in a relationship before and certainly never thought she might be attracted to a girl. The series manages to avoid excessive fan service; it is about their potential budding romance not what they may ultimately get up to. The character designs are good and the animation is impressive. Overall this is a charming example of the genre with enough drama and likeable protagonists; I hope there is a second series.
