Even more surprising, when Mei catches Yuzu off guard and kisses her out of the blue, what does it all mean?

Posted on by Lesley Aeschliman

Seven Seas Entertainment has announced that the company has acquired the license for the Citrus yuri manga. The company is planning to release the first volume of Citrus on December 16, 2014 with a retail price of US$13.99.

The story centers around Yuzu, a high school girl who looks like a fashionable gyaru girl at first glance, but she has never fallen in love. Thanks to her parents remarrying, she transfers into a girls’ high school. On her first day, she is frustrated (“I can’t get a boyfriend!”), and she has the worst possible encounter with the student body president, a black-haired beauty named Mei.

After that, Yuzu witnesses a kiss between Mei and the devastatingly handsome homeroom teacher, and it inflames her passion. On top of that, Mei happens to be Yuzu’s new stepsister, and they live under the same roof. “The sisterly love affair begins!”

Citrus runs in Ichijinsha’s Comic Yuri Hime magazine.
