erdicooper's review against another edition
5.0
The best way to describe this series to point out that, at the end of every book, the author writes that she hopes we'll continue to follow along with the series so that we can all keep "looking after these girls." That's really what this is all about. Caring about two people who have no idea how to handle their situation.
It's a romance between the class president of an all-girls school and the delinquent new girl. Immediately they butt heads (of course), but they quickly begin to fall for each other. This story is about navigating personal baggage and shame over the burgeoning feelings they share for each other. It's awkward and scandalous and dramatic, but man, at its core? All you'll find is love and hope.
This series comes with one big warning though: it's a story about discovering sexuality told in a visual format. And it's manga. There's no sex and you don't see any more than you would at the beach, but the author has a tremendous skill for capturing sensuality. And like, the artwork is never "hot" if that makes sense. Yes, you'll see bras and passionate kisses, but everything about the body language of these scenes is directed at the other character involved. There are no gratuitous "look how hot this anime girl is" shots.
Ultimately, I consider it a welcome addition to this wonderfully sweet, awkward romance as it grants an extra layer of characterization. It's just something to prepare for.

Citrus es una serie yuri bastante popular, siendo uno de los títulos más repetidos como "de los mejores" del género, y por ello me animé a leer la serie. Inicialmente la leí por internet con traducción de aficionados pero terminé comprando el tomo de Ivrea (¡y menuda diferencia de calidad en el tratamiento de la obra!). La historia es bastante sencilla: la madre de Yuzu se vuelve a casar y ambas se mudan de casa. Yuzu conocerá a su hermanastra (Mei) tras un incidente en su nuevo instituto, uno solo para mujeres, y a partir de ahí irá desarrollando una relación peculiar con Mei.
La serie presenta diferentes tonos, que van de la comedia al drama, para plasmar la confusión de la joven Yuzu por los comportamientos de Mei y la rigidez de las normas de su nueva escuela. La trama es sencilla pero entretenida y engancha bastante. Este primer tomo, como presentación del conflicto, es bastante correcto. Veremos cómo se va desarrollando la serie.

Tiene un buen comienzo.
Yuzu me ha encantado. Es sincera y fresca y le planta cara a los problemas y a sus sentimientos. Su efervescencia combina muy bien con la frialdad de Mei. No he conectado mucho con ella, pero seguro que se abre poco a poco.
