The majority of the time, however, it just feels like another shoujo twist thrown into the plot to keep things going, even if it makes no sense ("I thought this but then she did THIS"). When the story has built up to the romantic scenes, they're nice. Because every time it feels like Citrus is starting to go somewhere or do something smart, the author throws in another tropey plotline or a wild sexytime appears. A few moments have suggested deeper reasons behind the characters' actions (particularly Mei's), but I'm not sure if, by chapter 17, we've received such fleeting character development because the author is building up to something bigger or just.because it's the author. The characters, who rarely rise above shoujo tropes, behave either predictably or erratically. The art's lovely, but the story could have been so much more - and honestly, I expected so much more after seeing so many glowing ratings and reviews. I'll probably keep reading the new chapters to see if it gets any better, but I'm pretty disappointed in Citrus overall.
